Why don't you just add the .50AE as a new ammo type?
There are a few more handguns designed to fire this cartridge; the LAR Grizzly and the FA Casull revolver in addition to the Automag V which you have already mentioned.
Tromix has also been making upper receivers and barrels for AR-15 rifles designed to fire .50AE as well as .440 CorBon and .458 Socom.

I can't add new ammo due to the Fallout Tactics engine and the editor given to us, it is limited by the weapon selection column, there are just given fixed to us.
Example I have created the 4.7x33 caseless but when I selected the gun, it was an option there.
So in the final decision, I removed the 0.303 & 0.308, replaced 0.303 with 4.7x33 and replaced the 0.308 with 5.7x30. Also the spearbolt ammo was replaced with 4.7x33 (the new ammo for HK new SMG and pistol - actually, it seem like HK has introduced this 2 against the FN for P90 & 57 pistol.)
I though of removing all the 9mm pistol AP, JHP & FMJ, if u notice, the energy level produce by JHP is only 598 j and FMJ is only 543. As for AP, look at it when it hit the Mutant, do they look painful???? I see no difference in AP round.
As for removing the 0.45 is for a reason. American don't replace 9 mm over 0.45 unless they have a good reason. The simple theory is Force is = MassxAcceration. 0.45 has mass but lack acceration, this isalso due to its mass too. However 9mm being weigh half as much with twice the acceration will produce the same sort of acceration. Impact can be simply pressure, the force of the bullet impact on the small dia. The actual formulae for all this is actually pretty complicated. They have program for all this calculation. In here I kept them simple.
Beretta 9mm able to have twice the ammo and less wieght produce the same impact force each time as a 0.45, then why the latter. As such Colt .45 or M1911 etc is slowly being replaced.
HK PDW & P90 ammo is something like 7.62x39, lower powerful than a acutal rifle bullet but more powerful than a pistol or SMG round. They have smaller diameter, longer than a pistol round as such, these guns are somwhere between a pistol or a SMG and a rfile. Their bullets are faster than a SMG slower than a rifle, weigh more than a pistol round but lighter than a rifle round.
With such bullet, the mass of the bullet is reduced but their acceration is much faster as such produced a force higher than a SMG round.
The problem of modern bullet still lie on the impact. Due to the smaller dia, the impact force may not be that great as a 9mm bullet. Advantage are they penetrate better and its range is boost much further. To have a bullet after impact on a body to fumble is still consider to be illegal so ..... P90 & PDW in conculsion is a bullet producing more force but less impact, but longer range. They are bullet that still lack the impact of a pistol round.
That is why in close combat, pistol and SMG are still favour over rifle, because 5.56 & 7.62 bullets when compare to 0.45, 9mm, 0.44 has less stopping power but more penetration.
