The AMT Automag V is a large single action semi-automatic pistol; The weapon was created by Harry Sanford, who also invented the original automag. One of the extremely small number of handguns that fire a .50 caliber cartridge, it 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, although it is still not a gun for the faint of heart. It has a 7 shot magazine and is, like all of the AMT guns, made of stainless steel.
