Shooting 500 Magnum with No Barrel
This experiment tests the Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum without a barrel, revealing significant power loss and unpredictable bullet trajectory. Firing Underwood Ammo's Extreme Penetrator and a 700-grain round demonstrated the potential for firearm damage, with the cylinder becoming stuck after the heavier load. The test highlights the critical role of the barrel in pressure buildup and stabilization, even for powerful handguns.
