Alan, if this is what you were referring to, the BMG stands for Browning Machine Gun.

Our fighter planes during WWII used 50 caliber machine guns.  They would literally tear an enemy plane apart.  The ammo belts on our fighters were 27 feet long.  So if you fired all your ammo at the enemy, you gave him the whole nine yards.  That's where that expression comes from.

thanks, everyone for your comments, as far as the "B" I am not sure, it is 50 cal. though

Nice knife!  Is that a .50 BMG?

one of those knives I still want to own but just don't get around to buying because of other knives.

Gorgeous!
