Suppressed 500 Magnum Revolver??? (The World’s First Suppressed Hand Cannon)

This review tests the effectiveness of oversized, double-handed grips on the Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum. While appearing unconventional, the grips significantly improved control and target re-acquisition, particularly on shorter barrel models. They proved surprisingly effective for recoil management, though their practicality for concealed carry is limited.

This video showcases an extreme ballistics test where a 10-inch crystal ball is subjected to a wide range of calibers, culminating in the immense power of a 4 Bore rifle. The test demonstrates the destructive capabilities of various firearms, from handguns to large-bore rifles, highlighting the significant energy transfer required to shatter such a dense object. The presenter, Scott, exhibits high-level firearms expertise and a humorous approach to extreme testing.

This review compares the .500 S&W Magnum and the .500 S&W Special, highlighting the Special's significantly reduced recoil and energy transfer, making it a more manageable option for training or defense. While the Magnum vaporizes targets and penetrates multiple barriers, the Special offers a controlled experience with less destructive power, successfully stopped by Level 3A armor.

This video reviews the New England Firearms Handi-Rifle chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, comparing its power to the S&W 500 revolver. Testing various Underwood and Federal loads, including 700-grain hard cast and 350-grain Xtreme Penetrator rounds, reveals significant recoil and ballistic drop. The review demonstrates impressive terminal effects on soft targets and penetration through cinder blocks, highlighting the cartridge's extreme capabilities.

This video showcases the immense power of the .500 S&W Magnum, featuring various Smith & Wesson models and a custom Kentucky Ballistics snub-nose. Ballistic tests demonstrate its capability against food items and a ballistic shield, easily penetrating a shield rated for .44 Magnum. The review highlights Underwood Ammo's 350-grain JHP rounds and concludes with a rapid-fire demonstration.

This video tests four exotic .500 Magnum rounds from DoubleTap Ammo and Matt's Bullets using a Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver. Testing includes point of aim, water jug penetration, watermelon expansion, cinder block penetration with the Spire Point, ballistic gel analysis, and recoil comparison. The Grand Canyon round showed significant expansion in ballistic gel, while the Spire Point demonstrated cinder block penetration.

This video details a catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG, which exploded due to extreme pressure exceeding 85,000 PSI. The incident resulted in severe injuries to the shooter, Scott, including a broken orbital bone, nose, lacerated jugular vein, and punctured lung. The analysis points to the breech cap shearing off its threads as the failure point, highlighting the dangers of exceeding firearm pressure limits.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Desert Eagle Mark XIX through a series of extreme environmental torture tests. The firearm demonstrates impressive initial resilience, functioning perfectly after water submersion and snow exposure. However, it encounters significant malfunctions when subjected to mud and sand, highlighting potential failure points in extreme conditions. The test is conducted by Scott, a recognized authority in destructive firearm testing.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This Liberty Safe National Classic Select underwent extreme torture tests, including a flamethrower fire simulation and ballistic impacts. While it withstood .45 ACP, .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, and .450 Marlin rounds, a .308 Win round penetrated, and .50 BMG rounds easily breached the safe. Despite significant damage, the safe's frame remained intact against mechanical force.
