The AMT Automag V is a large single action semi-automatic pistol made by Arcadia Machine and Tool (AMT). The weapon was created by Harry Sanford, who also invented the original .44 AutoMag pistol. One of the extremely small number of handguns that fire a .50 caliber cartridge, it is also one of the few semi automatic guns that fires the .50 Action Express cartridge, it is said to be "the most ergonomic and lightweight of all of those autoloaders".[2] Its built-in compensator ports in the barrel make it surprisingly light to shoot for such a powerful cartridge, but the recoil is still significant. It has a 7 shot magazine and is, like all of the AMT guns, made of stainless steel.
