Shot A S&W 500 At The Range..... Once....Video
« on: July 07, 2012, 06:58:04 AM »
Well, finally had a chance to let "one" rip from a S&W 500.

The owner said he bought it barely used with 18rds. of ammo. This was due to the original owner firing it twice, and saying, "Uh, bad idea, " and selling it.

Here's the vid, just click on the link to go to the Photobucket site.

The grip waggle I did is from my golf days, and I wanted to avoid an Epic FAIL moment like so many vids on youtube.



It is a true "Hand Howitzer" and not something I would want to shoot a lot.  ::) The air moved around you when fired. :o

I did evaporate a gallon water jug though at 10 yds. ;)

Recoil didn't seem too bad from the video.

Congrats on the chance to shoot it.  I got the privilege to shoot a hole cylinder's worth out of one approximately 6 years ago.  It's a rush, especially shooting it at dusk like I did.  Lots of flash.  :o  Granted I was shooting a longer barrelled version, the perceived recoil was less with it than with the Raging Bull .454 I also go to shoot.  Either way, I could feel it in my wrist the next day.

Alf, I think the objective of almost all guns is to kill the guy in front of it not the guy behind it and possibly everyone else in close proximity too.  ;)
