These graphite writing sculptures are replicas of .50 caliber rounds. These graphite writing sculptures are inspired by a bullet that comes from a .50 caliber machine gun. Although this may not be the writing tool that you should take to the workplace or school, it is a great accessory for writing at home. This writing tool can also be used as a desk ornament if you aren't into writing by hand.

These .50 caliber sculptures are made from graphite and they have been coated in a special polymer so they won’t stain your hands when you write your notes, sign papers or draw. The best part about these [graphite writing accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qui-magnetic-pencil-system) is that they last much longer than other [pens and pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetstream-edge); the expected life for one of these accessories is seven to nine years.
