Some firearms perform exceptionally well in a particular niche. Others, for lack of a better term, get typecast. In other words, when guns excel in a certain arena, they can become pigeonholed as “specialized” firearms, useful in that one area alone. The truth is that firearms that get stuck with the specialized label are often more dynamic than their reputation may suggest. That is true for everything from big-caliber thumpers like AR 15s chambered in 50 Beowulf and 458 SOCOM to handguns in 22 LR.

50 Beowulf, 450 Bushmaster, and Other Big AR 15 Calibers

The AR 15 rifle platform can handle some heavy-duty cartridges. 50 Beowulf, 450 Bushmaster, and 458 SOCOM are likely the best-known examples of them. For civilian shooters, 50 Beowulf and its large-sized cartridge cohort were often considered more of a novelty than a functional caliber. If you were looking for something to explosively shatter cinder blocks or blast holes through walls for cheering buddies, the 50 Beowulf, 450 Bushmaster, or 458 SOCOM was the way to go. However, those cartridges are gaining popularity for hunting. For instance, some states require straight-walled cartridges for hunting, and something like a 50 Beowulf can prove to be a reliable option. They have also become a far more common choice for both big game hunting and protection in grizzly bear country.

The PTR 91 Rifle

In some ways, the PTR 91 is a very specific kind of firearm—a clone of the H&K G3 battle rifle. At first glance, a civilian battle rifle seems like it may not have much use beyond a tacticool clone of a legendary long gun. However, shooters soon realized that the PTR 91, chambered in 308 Winchester, is a high-quality long-range tack-driver. Perhaps that should not be a surprise, as PTR stands for “Precision Target Rifle.” If you are looking for a hunting rifle or just into ringing steel at long distances, the PTR 91 is worth a shot.

Suppressed Handguns and Rifles

There can be a few stages of responses to suppressed handguns and rifles. First, many assume they are fit only for spies and assassins, quieting shots to whisper-quiet levels. When people discover that, in the vast majority of cases, “Hollywood quiet” suppressors are not a thing, they may question what the point is at all. The fact is, despite usually not being Hollywood quiet, suppressors can reduce noise pollution and protect your hearing when shooting. They are being increasingly utilized by hunters for a couple of reasons. For one, many hunters rely on their ears to guide them to at least some degree while hunting. That makes ear protection inconvenient at best when they do fire. Suppressed hunting resolves that problem, and it does so while likely spooking game far less.
