Frequently Asked Questions

What large caliber handguns were tested in the video?

The video features testing of the Magnum Research Desert Eagle in .50 AE, the Smith & Wesson 460 Magnum Performance Center, the S&W 500 Magnum Performance Center, and the Magnum Research BFR (Big Frame Revolver) in .500 Magnum.

What are the key differences in recoil between the S&W 460 and 500 Magnum?

According to the expert instructor, the S&W 500 Magnum exhibits significantly higher recoil compared to the S&W 460 Magnum, making the .460 a more manageable option for many shooters.

How was the Magnum Research BFR with a 20-inch barrel described in terms of recoil?

The 20-inch barrel BFR in .500 S&W Magnum was noted to produce a recoil that feels more like a 'push,' similar to a rifle, due to its substantial weight and barrel length.

What practical tests were performed on the large caliber handguns?

The hand cannons were used for ballistic destruction tests on food items and bowling pins, a test against Safe Life Defense body armor, and long-range accuracy tests hitting water jugs at 100 yards.
