What caliber of a bullet was 50 cent shot up with?

**stayinstacked** · 03-31-2006, 09:48 PM

I'm just curious if anybody knows what caliber he was shot with. If that dude was shot 9 times it couldn't have been anything big like a .38 or a .40 cal, even a 9mm for that matter. Even if he didnt get hit in any vital organs the bullets would have made exit wounds big enough to bleed out. What was it?

**diezell** · 03-31-2006, 09:59 PM

i think it was a 9mm not 100% sure, they shouldve used a 44 with a hollow point that wouldve got the job done

**QuieTSToRM33** · 03-31-2006, 10:00 PM

i believe it was a 9mm

**Pooks** · 03-31-2006, 10:15 PM

when was he shot, recently? or is this part of his lore?

Thats not true. The type of bullets used would determine how big of an exit wound it would leave. Obviously a full metal jacket, or a light grain ammunition is not going to create as much damage as say, hollow points or hydrashocks. As long as the bullets didnt pass through any arteries or hit bones and cause a lot of fragmentation, its very concievable to be shot that many times and survive. Also, Im not sure if he was shot 9 times consecutively, ya know, he was slewin yayo for a long time before he became famous.

i thought he only got shot 3 times, once in the face and once in each leg. i could be wrong though

oh god, even a 9 mm would probably dislocate your arm if you got hit directly in the bone.

**Hitman** · 03-31-2006, 10:31 PM

What ever it was, it def wasnt strong enough cause hes still standing damn it.

**QuieTSToRM33** · 03-31-2006, 10:33 PM

he didnt get shot 9 times at once i dont think

yea i dont wanna think about it dude...ive seen x-rays of people who have been shot and the bullet hits bones, it looks like a ****in explosion...

yea, that would be no good. its pretty likely you would die if you got shot 9 times all at once

yea i bet. the thing people dont understand about getting shot is that once the bullet hits you, it sends a shockwave through your body which will rupture organs and sh_t. something with that much force behind it has devistating effects on soft targets like flesh.

**Tren Bull** · 03-31-2006, 10:38 PM

i have to admit though, im kinda curious to see what a 12 gauge shotgun would do to someone at close range. now that would be a gory mess.

**Tren Bull** · 03-31-2006, 10:41 PM

i saw a video of combat footage from iraq where they were shooting guys with .50 caliber sniper rifles. kinda weird at first cause its from so far away, but you can see the guys literally blow up... like rise of the triad style with arms and legs and guts being blasted in all directions.

Well, that would also depend on the ammunition used, and to add another variable into the equation is wether you are using buckshot or slugs. I think 00 buckshot would cause a big ****ing mess, but I did see an episode of cops where a girl got shot in the head (not at close range) from a shotgun and the pellets actually lodged in her skull but didnt penetrate, what a lucky crackhor. Now, the slugs I use in my shotguns are Sabots (kind of a legal holopoint) and they would definately do some damage. A .22 is actually a VERY lethal round believe it or not. A .22LR has the ability to travel an extremely far distance, added to the fact that placing a .22 round in someones skull will cause it to ping pong around in their brain because its such a light round, as opposed to just blowing out the other side...

haha yea, thats straight artilery. makes my 30-06 look like a pellet gun

Lol its no suprise you saw the people blow up. If the guys in the video were using the weapon I think they were, which is the Barret .50cal, that weapon is mainly used on light armored vehicles, like APC's and the like...

im thinking BBB magnum rounds through an 18 inch barrel. slugs would make a pretty big mess too. btw, .22 lr is imo a very ideal weapon to use to kill someone. did you know that if you put a .22 directly up to something, even a board, it makes as much noise as a pellet gun?

yea, it was unreal bro. ive heard that even a 7mm mag will blow up deer, and a .50 cal rifle is like 4 times bigger than that. good god. i wish i had a browning .50 cal machine gun. id have some fun with that

**GQ-Bouncer** · 04-01-2006, 08:50 AM

50-cent? obviously the round wasnt big enough

as for the .50 cal, they are "Anti-Material" wpns (unlike the M16/m249 which are anti-personnel) - the 2.4 km shot in afghanistan allegedly obliterated the upper left half the taliban opfor (as far as first aid is concerned, they would fall in the "obviously dead" category)

**SwoleCat** · 04-01-2006, 08:52 AM

9mm....

Clarified when he says, "staring down the barrel of that nine, I was sure I was gonna die".

~SC~

**USfighterFC** · 04-01-2006, 08:54 AM

As someone said earlier he was shot only 3 times but was shot at 9 times.

**USfighterFC** · 04-01-2006, 08:55 AM

only 3 lol

**Squatman51** · 04-01-2006, 03:46 PM

what did pac get shot with he took 5 one was in the head and the sac and he lived

***G-1000*** · 04-01-2006, 03:48 PM

It should have been a 22mm

**Squatman51** · 04-01-2006, 03:49 PM

This is a lil off the subject to but I was just watching beyond the glory about Curtis Martin and he said he was suppose to die when he was young, he said someone put a gun to his head and the guy pulled the trigger 4 times and nothing happened so the guy thought it was broke so he took it away from his head and pulled the trigger toward the ground and it went off.... pretty lucky guy

**cfiler** · 04-01-2006, 03:56 PM

Too small of caliber what ever it was, because they never finished 50 cent off. I'm guessing a 9mm or smaller. He sure is lucky. Went from a dealer, who was shot afew times, then struck a record contract, and now is a millionaire. Not much of a role model, but I do respect his luck.

Luck? - Yeah he probably just fell into it huh?

Trust me luck has more to do with it than you think. You should see around here all the mix tapes and underground shit that people make. I mean off the top of my head I can name dozens of people that can spit damn well and sound like they have their own label and video but live around the corner.

I hear what you're saying but luck alone doesn't make a successful rapper.

Being discovered is the key to being in the game. All these guys have so much talent and have the "credentials" to back up everything they say. But nobody even knows they exist.

I got mad skills on the mic yo! - Trouble is there are very few gangsta rap talent scouts on the lookout in Cornwall!

**firmechicano831** · 04-01-2006, 06:52 PM

Well anyone have any songs that we could hear? Well about 50, he was lucky I'd say.

**OllllO** · 04-01-2006, 06:52 PM

50 cent has been shot at a lot of times...

In jersey the other year....."Ten bullet casings were found, seven for a .40-calibur handgun, three from a .45. One bullet shattered a window at the tire center of a BJ's wholesale outlet 200 feet away. 50 cent was not injured"

In queens....."Later he was consequently shot five times and stabbed (9 shots were fired but only 5 hit, people mistake it for being hit 9 times)

in NYC at hot 97......"in an interview on hip-hop radio station Hot 97 Monday night, 50 announced that he was kicking The Game out of his G-Unit clique because of disloyal a fight broke out and a shooting occurred outside the radio station, wounding one man, police said. The victim, identified only as a security guard for 50 Cent, was shot in the hip and was taken to St. Vincent's hospital in Tribeca."

in nyc at the hit factory....."In March 2000, outside the Hit Factory studio on West 54th Street, 50 Cent was beaten and stabbed by Lorenzo, his brother Christopher, and a Murder Inc. rapper named Ramel “Black Child” Gill"

2 Pac - Unconditional Love is my fav

he was shot nine times at the same time with an oozy .22 cal.. just to clear things up...

**USfighterFC** · 04-02-2006, 11:31 AM
