[@GACextra]

Fr, Dirty Harrys opinion is irrelevant now.

[@brians1793]

It's one of the most versatile rounds, there's rounds that are more manageable than others that don't seem like extreme overkill for certain applications, but some pack enough punch to take down a bull, they're no joke. 45 ACP is still going to be best for use against humans overall for most people but definitely isn't nearly enough for other applications. I suppose a gun that can fire 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 410 is going to be more versatile yet if I could only have one handgun.

[@KiithnarasAshaa]

Yep, the 500 Spl JHP rounds performed about how I expected - like an FMJ. Projectiles going that slow really don't undergo much if any expansion through liquid media. Kind of like a lot of .45 ACP standard loads.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Or .50 GI.

[@Bacteriophagebs]

It depends on the bullet. LOTS of bullets expand at subsonic speeds, but these were clearly not designed for that. Since most .50 bullets are intended for .50 AE and .500 Magnum, which throw 350-grainers at 1300+ and 1800+ fps respectively, using these bullets in the subsonic Special was either lazy or stupid on the ammo maker's part.

[@MaffiaRK]

That recoil comparison starting 6:30 is incredible I have watched many guns shot in slow-motion, but the way this is filmed, lit, framed, it's just excellent! Very good visual of the difference a bit of powder makes too. Thanks for the video!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I own a 460V five inch muzzle brake equipped full lug barrel X-frame revolver that shoots 460 S&W magnum, 454 Casull and 45 Colt loads from mild to wild. Even the 45 Schofield if you can find any. TK Custom altered my cylinder to accept moon clips for 45 ACP. And the moon clips also hold 460 Rowland, 45 Super and 45 Winchester magnum using Starline Brass. Versatility defined.

[@Piecemakerfirearms]

I have to say your slow mo footage shows a very good example as to why you would want to start with one round in the cylinder for beginners on these big bore guns. That “consistent hold” of the trigger back when riding the recoil is demonstrated easily to see and understand. Awesome educational video!

[@ajorsomething4935]

If you're using bullets designed for the 500 magnum in the 500 special loading that's probably why you're seeing so little energy transfer. Those bullets are designed to expand at 1,500 fps, not 1,000 fps. Same sort of thing happens with 10mm auto, most loadings use bullets designed for the much more popular .40 s&w, and the extra speed causes much less controlled expansion. Anyway since the .500 special is so uncommon I'm betting that they just used a bullet designed with .500 magnum velocities in mind.

[@Demane69]

The 1st thing I thought when seeing that customized 500, is the manufacturer warning to NOT use a solid grip. A soft grip is required. Lord help the wrist of the user of that pistol.

[@leftyo9589]

[@johnnyk5]

This. I wish 500 special were loaded like 50 AE. As it is, it’s not even to the level of 44 magnum

[@Bacteriophagebs]

I initially assumed that .500 Special would be equivalent to .454 Casull. Nope. .454 will launch a 360-grain bullet at 1400-1500 fps, halfway between the .500 special and .500 magnum with 350-grainers. .50 AE does 350 grains at 1300-1400 fps. Standard-pressure .44 magnum fires a 355-grain bullet at 950-1050 fps, so .500 Special is right on par with .44 magnum. The problem is that those bullets were clearly made to expand at supersonic velocities like you get from .50 AE and .500 Magnum, so the .500 Special just couldn't make them pop. Bad design on the manufacturer's part.

This is the first time I've ever heard of the 500 Smith & Wesson special. It would be interesting to see you do one of your old Board Test and ballistic gel and see the difference like you used to do.

[@Davo_1991]

Scammer, ignore.

[@BoredCanister]

4:12 that ant gonna be traveling at speed of sound+ and probably walk away.ants are tough

[@NYAxeMaster2010]

At 3:57 (if you understand the awesomeness of this timing, you rock) that ant crawling up the .500 Special "What is THIS!? What is this...this POWER I sense from this monolith!?"

[@austingurganus1494]

4:05 that ant is about to be an ain't. 😂

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

According to S&W, Matt funded the creation of the 500 special, so he could specifically bring ppl to the range and give them a gun loaded with 500 magnum, then he would shoot it with 500 special and play it off like the recoil was nothing to him. 100% True story.

[@Sk1m_Beeble]

Matt and Edwin

[@GranadaBashlav]

LOL! burn.

[@Davo_1991]

No one listen to the scammer. He's saying the same comment too many comments here and asking to go off KZbin so they can't be traced and asks for a delivery fee.

[@Sk1m_Beeble]

@@Davo_1991 I reported it and it's still here, tired of these bots

[@GranadaBashlav]

@@Davo_1991 It appears that Scott is using a comment bot for more hits to the channel. Or someone is doing it for him... LOL j/k Scott, love ya bro! More 700 Nitro Xpress please! But on electronics, too many electronics out there!

[@hardluckclub7271]

i’d really love to see the pine board baffle tests brought back scott! interesting to see it with those lesser 500 rounds!

[@caseysmith1540]

I would love to just be on the range to see some of the “exploding targets” ya use! I love the canned eggplant explosions. It’s always fun to watch soft targets explode from really big bullets. Thanks man and keep on making great fun content. 👍🏼

[@alleclypseuprising87]

22:00 why did that sound tickle me like it did Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnwhitby8851]

The difference in the 2 rounds was way more stark than I expected before watching. Also, that shade at Demo Ranch at the end was hilarious! 😂

[@SlowSpyder]

But, is it as powerful as a 9mm (blows lungs clear out of a body, I am told)

[@321ssteeeeeve]

Hey Scoot, you ever get slow timing on your X-frames? Do you do your own smithing? I have two 500’s (a 4” and a 3.5”) they both fail to carry up on all chambers.

[@thatbeme]

I love your videos. I would like to see a comparison of 44, 38, and 500 special in gel. Thanks 💙

[@havok2396]

So what can we conclude about 500 special after watching this? It's a good round for home defence if you're likely to round a corner and come nose to nose with an intruder, OR, if you need to shoot them through an internal stud wall and not worry about over over penetration. Awesome 👍🏻

[@DevinGibson6316]

Thanks for watching send a direct message right away on the above number☝️☝️.I have something bigger to introduce📩📩🆙🔝

[@barneymiller7894]

As you can see, the .500 special is shorter than than the .500 magnum. And, it is greatly preferred by Ants.

[@peterbiesbroek]

Saw that ANT on yr .500S&W round? Crazy!

[@FieniX_]

6:31 - That’s a cute cap-gun!

[@TeamBuffaloOutdoors]

Slamming tables and breaking cinder blocks 🧱 Love the Clean Safe Shootin’!

[@stevenmartin3848]

The one thing I always take away from any of Scott's videos... There's NO ONE who gets more enjoyment out of blowing stuff up with RIDICULOUSLY overpowered firearms! 😁

[@bubba6945]

Im a big fan of large caliber firearms Its where the fun is found in shooting stuff 😆

[@DrQuagmire1]

or seeing a random cameo from our ol' buddy, Tactical T-Rex

[@johnrebserran2495]

Scott fires the .500 special like a toy gun. Nice vid btw 👍

[@user-kg2ik3nd6b]

0:54 that off-road Chrysler is awesome for my special game project and did you put the off-road parts on the Chrysler or you buy the whole off-road Chrysler by someone or place that selling 2000s vehicles.

[@MeowMeowMeow7576]

As always Scott, such an entertaining but yet educational video. I was so happy to see the "Cause nobody likes eggplant!" kick again! Love the shooting at canned goods more than the zombie torsos. Either way keep it up! Love your videos.

[@Davo_1991]

Ignore scammer.

[@grantg610]

I hope that tiny ant on the 500 special enjoyed his 15 seconds of fame in this video!!!

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

At on time Cor=Bon offered S&W 500 special, a 350 grain FMJ that clocked 952 fps out of my 4" Smith 500. Don't know if they still offer this round. Your engraved gun is a work of art. I don't think I would being myself to shoot it - but who knows?

[@dancurd3857]

Was so happy you didn’t forget the watermelon segment makes me so happy everytime as you drop it surprisingly so well 😂 can’t believe the damage is so different just on the ammo it’s incredible. Keep up the great content Scott 👍🏻

[@federschutz9789]

I just bought a 44mag and have a whole new appreciation for Scott's ability to nonchalantly shoot a 500swmag

[@paladinevans]

You need to get Matt to fire the 500 Special without telling him that’s what is loaded in the gun 😁

[@TheMonsterInTheWoods]

I have been thinking of getting a 500mag. Good video. Thanks

[@benjaminallen6269]

I know this isnt the first video youve done this way, but i really like the way your doing the ammo now, its pretty cool

[@joelvoelker1170]

Watching Scott’s videos are one of my favorite past times. And it lets me know that there is something good about living in Kentucky. Love your videos Scott. Keep it up!

[@davedave9552]

I wish you well bro.

[@knobjob2839]

500 special: when you want to use your 500mag for realistic home defense. Great video 👍. Ballistically a very cool round. Please don't destroy that really pretty 500 mag. I have a sanctuary safe it can live in.

[@Davo_1991]

Don't listen to the scammer.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

That engraved 500 S&W magnum you showed at the first is a BBQ gun for sure!!! Nice!
