The '''.50 Action Express''' caliber went through difficulties at its introduction in 1988 due to the substantial size of its bullet, which was not actually 0.500 inch long but in fact 0.510 inch. According to the US '''National Firearms Act''', regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ('''BATFE'''), a weapon chambered for a caliber over .50 (12.7mm) is considered a [http://www.atf.gov/firearms/guides/importation-verification/firearms-verification-nfa-destructive-device.html Destructive Device], making them very tightly regulated and is banned for use by civilians in certain states of the USA.

Because of this, production of .50 AE was slightly altered so that the bullet meets the BATFE's regulations and has now a bullet exactly .50 inch long.

Magnum Research/IMI's [[IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX|Desert Eagle]] pistol was the first firearm produced chambered in this caliber, though other manufacturers produced their own afterwards: AMT's [[AMT Automag V|Automag V]], LAR's [[LAR Grizzly Mark V|Grizzly]], both of them semi-automatic pistols, and Magnum Research's own '''BFR''', a single-action revolver.

The caliber's recoil, known for being substantial and hard to recoil, is in fact not marginally higher than that of [[.44 Magnum]], though the most significant impact on the difference is the weapon itself - there is a noticeable recoil difference between a semi-automatic and a revolver of the same caliber (a Desert Eagle chambered in .44 Magnum will have somewhat less recoil than a S&W Model 29.)
