That would be cool. It would open up a whole new market to hi point. Priced at $200 for the pistol & $300 for the carbine. 7-9 round clips. I Would buy 1

 

[Guest]

I wouldn't just because of the cost of ammo. :-( I'd love to have one though. Just wouldn't be able to shoot it but once or twice a year? :x

 

[Guest]

I have no need for one. I have no need for anything in 50..

 

[PrimalSeal]

I already shoot .50 AE, so a 5095 would give me a pistol/carbine solution to a problem I didn't know I had..... :wink:

 

[Silicon Wolverine]

have you ever shot a 50? i doubt it. a 50cal design in a HP would be brutal to say the least.

You can't have a .50 cal. in a Blowback design weapon without some SERIOUS recoil.

Limpwristing would become a real problem as your wrist would go limp after shooting it a few times :shock:

Desert eagle looks like it has lots of recoil. 50 cal=lots of recoil? :roll:

 

[cobraman]

Like another member I have a Desert Eagle in 50 AE. I honestly don't shoot it very often due to the high cost of the ammo so no, I would not buy one. I hate to admit it but it's been about 2 years since I fired my DE.

 

[monr3721]

Nope, cost of ammo. .45 is high enough for me.

 

[Sasquatch]

A .50 carbine would be pretty cool, I don't think anyone else is making one, either.

THE CARBINE WITH A TRIPOD AND A SUPED UP RECOIL PAD... A REALLY NICE SCOPE. WITH IT BEING HI-POINT IT WOULD ALL BE AMERICAN MADE.

It would be entertaining to fire such a round out of a carbine but the cost and recoil would be excessive.

would be a decent bear defense gun though.

Hi-Point need to design a new carbine that operates from a gas-piston, they would have to lighten the slide/bolt on the carbine so it could be manipulated by the piston, it's really not a big modification to the existing design, rhis would make all sorts of caliber weapons feasible.

 

[Silicon Wolverine]

um yes it is. do you knwo the difference between pure blowback and gas operation? it would require a complete redisgn of the entire weapon. nothing would tranfer from one to the other. not ever going to happen

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

Blowback, cardridge pushes the slide back and is ejected, the recoil spring pushes the slide back into battery.

Gas-operated, cardridge is fired, some gas is redirected near the end of the barrel and travels up to the piston head pushing a piston rod, the piston rod pushes the bolt back (or HP's slide which is attached to this rod.

I think it's feasible, prove me wrong

 

[Silicon Wolverine]

not for HP its not feasible. thats why gas op rifles cost 500+$ and a HP carbien is 200$. its about manufcture cost. sure HP could makea gas op carbine but not with thier current design.

If I were them i'd make the plunge, i'm sure they can somehow got cost using some ZAMAC-3 here and there.
