Perhaps this:

Browning Hi-Power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No.... it's a handgun that's been plugged into the electrical socket for an extra charge.

To me high power would be a center fire rifle cartridge used in a pistol, like a Thompson Center.

 

[handgun]

No.... it's a handgun that's been plugged into the electrical socket for an extra charge.

I think your right.

This... A lot of people who are refering to the Browning Hi-Power pistol simply refer to it as the Hi-Power.

It's a high powered gun you can hold in your hand

As opposed to your feet?

 

[gunowner930]

S&W 500 maybe?

 

[bobzilla]

As opposed to your feet?

Duh, that would be a footgun. Geesh. You must be new here!

 

[IN_Sheepdog]

Phrase used incorrectly by Anti Gunners and Media, to add ADDITIONAL Fear Mongering....

as in....
Oh, this wasn't just a Handgun... It was a HI POWERED Handgun... And it was a scary BLACK gun too!!!

I thought that meant the exponential on the gun was larger.

2^3 is much more high powered than 2^2.

 

[kazaam]

Kind sirs, i am new to shooting and would like to make sure i am not about to buy a low powered gun. Can you please point me in the right direction?

 

[bobzilla]

I had always thought a normal handgun was a "handgun".

A gun that requires both hands is a "handsgun".

A gun you shoot with your feet is a "footgun".

A gun that requires both feet is a "feetgun".

A gun you shoot from the shoulder is a ...... rifle.

P-35 FN/Browning Hi-Power is another one of JMB'S greatest firearm designs. Mabey the best.

 

[indyjoe]

I thought High Power was all about people being hard to stop when they are attacking you, because of all the power someone has when they are high on meth.

 

[Excalibur]

I remember the news refer to a 9mm handgun as "high powered" but I also them id a guy as a "standard 9mm automatic"

 

[Fullmag]

P-35 FN/Browning Hi-Power is another one of JMB'S greatest firearm designs. Mabey the best.

Back in 1935 a pistol with 13 rounds of 9mm was considered high powered, that's where the name comes from, the rest of others had 6 or 8 depending.

What about one of those evil black guns with one of those even more evil barrel shroud things? I heard those things just kill people on their own.
