You know how some people's like having a ridiculously huge truck just to show off to other people that have a ridiculously huge truck? Some gun enthusiasts are like that. It's not uncommon to see novelty guns like this made, sometimes custom or sometimes by a factory. Stuff like a revolver that also shoots shotgun shells or a pistol with two barrels to shoot two shots at once or a bolt-action pistol to shoot the (basically) largest rifle rounds.

I think this happens in any hobby. I'm sure there are bird watchers with $5000 custom hand-ground binocular lenses or something.

Hey, I'm down for gun enthusiasts getting weird guns. It's more environmentally friendly than a huge truck, that's for sure.

The ULR 50 is only a pistol by the broadest possible definition of the term.
