Beowulf was about the same as a 1. Beowulf has more energy and greater range than any 1. The . 5. 0 Beowfulf is also box magazine fed, so it can be reloaded more quickly than a tube- fed 1.
The Beowulf utilizes a modified 3. STANAG NATO- spec box magazine. These mags hold 7 rounds. With an additional round up the pipe, that gives the operator a total of 8 rounds before having to reload.
That may not sound like a lot, but remember, we’re talking about full half- inch of hand cannon. This gun is one shot per customer, folks. The particular . 5. Beowulf carbine we got a chance to run at SWAT Round- Up was was semi- auto only. It was also equipped with the excellent and now combat- proven Aimpoint Comp. M2 red dot optical gunsight. The Aimpoint allowed me to zero the gun quickly on the target while keeping both eyes open.

What we can comment on, however, is what it was like to fire this thing. I’ve got one word for ya’–FUN. Firing the . 5. 0 Beowulf Weapon System/Carbine is, to this day, one the most pleasurable experiences I’ve ever had sampling a weapon.
It was nice and loud (just like a . Romance Films Looney Tunes: Reality Check. I just had to smile. While the felt- recoil wasn’t what I would necessarily call “light”, it wasn’t at all uncomfortable. I would say the recoil impulse was relatively light for such a powerful cartridge. A Defense Review associate who also fired a few half- inch projectiles downrange can attest to the same pleasurable experience. We both enjoyed the fact that when we pulled that trigger, we really felt like we were shooting something. It must be noted that the muzzle on our sample .
Beowulf Entry Carbine was fitted with a compensator. So, what’s my analysis regarding the viability of the . Beowulf Entry for military Spec- Ops and LE SWAT use? I’m not quite sure yet. A . 5. 0 Beowulf Entry model might be a welcome tool if a unit had to go up against a well- armed and armored threat, or one barricaded behind a car or inside a dwelling of some kind, particularly if the good guys wanted to be able to put the threat down with one shot.
For this use, I’d definitely want some rounds designed specifically for AP (Armor- Piercing) employment, although the standard rounds would probably still penetrate most vehicles and walls quite effectively. Anyway, that’s the primary scenario I can see at the moment. CQB (Close Quarters Battle) against a determined enemy or criminal subject wearing heavy body armor and/or hyped- up(on drugs) might be another niche use–especially if they’re holed up inside a structure like a business building or bank. The . 5. 0 Beowulf would appear to render body armor fairly irrelevant.
Even if the . 4. 99 caliber round failed to penetrate the armor, who cares? That 3. 25- 4. 00 grain round would hit the target with so much energy/force, it would probably take all the fight right out of the badguy, penetration or not. What about the . 5. Beowulf as a “homeland defense”/anti- terrorist/anti- riot tool for civilians? Well, all I can say is life is uncertain and precarious, so I give the .
Beowulf the “thumbs up” for that role as well. It would absolutely intimidate the hell out of any mob that was previously intent on harming you or looting your home or business. For just plain home defense against an armed intruder or multiple intruders, the Beowulf might be workable, provided you a)use lighter hollowpoint or frangible rounds that won’t over- penetrate your intended target, b)none of your friends or loved ones are standing sitting, or sleeping anywhere behind the target, and c)you don’t mind blowing your own eardrums out(it’s LOUD, remember?). O. k., maybe there are better choices out there for home defense.
I can guarantee the reader one thing: this gun is worth obtaining simply for the sole purpose and pleasure of recreational plinking. It’s simply a BLAST to shoot–excuse the pun.
And, the possibilities in terms of creative and safe inanimate targets, under well- controlled shooting conditions in the vast wide open spaces of the great outdoors, is virtually endless. Oh, I almost forgot about hunting.
I’m not a hunter, so I don’t know what you could hunt with it. However, I’m sure that any experienced and proficient big game hunters reading this article can figure something out.
I’m thinking elk or Grizzly bear. Mabe even Bison at close range, especially if you’re shooting at them from horseback(I saw it in “Dances with Wolves”, o. Def.
