BIGGER THAN 500 S&W MAGNUM??? 500 LINEBAUGH!!!

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 expert analysis from Line45 breaks down six firearms that, despite their unique or futuristic designs, are difficult for dealers to sell due to practical limitations. The video highlights issues ranging from complex manual-of-arms and reliability concerns to niche appeal and high cost, contrasting them with more proven alternatives. Buyers often prioritize reliability, price, and ease of use over unconventional aesthetics.

This video compares the 500 S&W Magnum and 500 Linebaugh revolvers through various ballistic tests. The 500 S&W Magnum demonstrated superior penetration on catalogs and significantly more destructive power on VCT tiles, ultimately punching a hole through a steel plate where the 500 Linebaugh only dented it. While the 500 Linebaugh exhibited substantial recoil, the 500 S&W Magnum proved more effective in destructive testing.

The Magnum Research BFR in .450 Marlin and .45-70 offers impressive accuracy and power, though recoil is significant. Cylinder interchangeability is a key feature, allowing easy caliber switching. Terminal ballistics testing on various media demonstrated the effectiveness of heavy loads. While aesthetically pleasing, the Bisley grips are less ideal for managing recoil during extended shooting compared to rubber alternatives.

This review of the Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum highlights its immense power, comparing its perceived recoil and size to a Glock 20. The speaker, demonstrating significant firearms expertise, notes the revolver's substantial weight and the fatigue it can induce during extended range sessions. The video also touches on ammunition differences and the subjective nature of trigger feel.

The 500 Bushwhacker revolver, a custom build from T2 Armory based on the Magnum Research BFR, is presented as significantly more powerful than the .500 S&W Magnum. Testing demonstrates extreme velocities (up to 2600 FPS with a 350-grain round) and destructive power, evidenced by massive ballistic gel cavitation and the complete destruction of water jugs and a shooting table. The review emphasizes extreme safety precautions due to the immense recoil and pressure.

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.
