Scott is the only man around that can shoot a .500 S&W, sub-sonic or otherwise, and make it look like a normal person shooting a .22

[@mgabrysSF]

Between the suppressor and the barrel length combined - the recoil should be VERY mitigated. Plus he's a tree-eater one of those, so one handing is a bit easier for him. Me? I'd have to cut the grain count and dual hand it otherwise I'd need extra dental insurance (until I hit the gym (MUCH) more seriously anyway).

Really cool to see the difference in recoil between the two. Scott your intros never disappoint, and the content itself is perfect..

[@bliczb8772]

Bit of a fun fact in regards to suppressed revolvers - M1895 Nagant features unsual "gas-seal" system, in which the cylinder moves forward when the gun is cocked. This actually allowed it to be one of the few revolvers that managed to get succesfully surpressed.

[@WaterZer0]

Also has the worst trigger in the history of firearms.

[@Bacteriophagebs]

Also, the Nagant was made that way in an attempt to increase velocity, but experiments have shown that the cylinder gap has little to no effect on velocity. For example, GUNS magazine tested two revolvers and a semi-auto, all with 5-inch barrels, firing the same ammo, with the two revolvers having different sized gaps. All three velocity sets were in the same range. The revolver with the largest gap averaged 5 or 6 fps lower than the other two, but the ammo could vary by as much as 14 fps between shots from the same gun. There was no discernible difference between the revolver with the smaller gap and the semi-auto with no gap at all. Gas-operated guns also don't lose any velocity over bolt-actions with the same barrel length, of course.

[@matthewsmiley3630]

I was thinkin about that before the video started. Those are the only other suppressed revolver I’ve seen

[@Pacmanghost]

I have a feeling that the force of the 500 might put too much wear on a system like that

[@blantant]

There is a little clamshell revolver seal thingy for the gp100 in 22lr. crude but traps the escaping gases in the cylinder gap

[@inkthinker]

The 1895 Nagant revolver tries to solve the gas gap problem by pushing the cylinder forward against the barrel as the round is fired, to close that space. It makes for a very suppressable revolver.

[@crazyfvck]

@benmcsweeney5501 True. And it also uses special ammo with a bullet that is recessed into the case. I believe the idea is that the case mouth will flare open upon firing, and it will seal even better against the forcing cone of the revolver.

[@toomanyaccounts]

it also has unique ammo with the bullet being entirely in the casing. the pushing occurs before the firing because just cocking pushes the cylinder and the primer is also covered. I have one with a custom can. Sounds like a cap gun

[@willysmb7514]

Yep, I was going to comment the same thing.

Other than that it almost seems like a novelty, something they did just to see if it could be done more than anything else. Unless one really needs the extra power there's better options that offer even more noise suppression. The tighter cylinder gap is nice too.

[@nealkrueger6097]

A 99.98% of revolers made will always have blow by, unless it is a gascheck revolver like the Mosin Nagant 7.62 gas check revolver. So you could make one with a tiny cylinder gap, but be very sensitive to grit, fouling, and cylinder wear. A good example of how quiet a pistol caliber carbine efficiency could be is a Delile carbine. A 45 Acp. Pistol round carbine based on P 14 rifles with barrels , ported with an integrated suppressor, at Fireing it was supposedly very quiet no one could not hear it from 20 feet Way. The bolt cycling made more noise than the actual firing of the round.

There was a suppressed revolver that had a cylinder that would mechanically push forward and engage the barrel. The end of the barrel had a bevel on it and had a matched surface on the chambers. It would seal up and when you pulled the hammer it would pull back a cam that would let the cylinder pull back and rotate, then when the next chamber was aligned it would cam back out and seal the chamber.

[@konradzukowski213]

There were actually plenty of attempts to make revolvers suppressible. Don't really remember the name of any prototype, but the general idea in many of those was to encase the cylinder to prevent gases from escaping and force them to go down the barrel. The reality was that in most cases, it made them too cumbersome and in general offered nothing a semi-auto pistol couldn't do

That wasn’t a .500 Magnum. It was a .500 Vaginitis. Seriously, just because you load a .500 magnum bullet in a .500 Magnum case, doesn’t mean you’re shooting .500 Magnum. I can make 10mm feel like .22LR by only loading 5 grains of powder instead of 13. But when my 155gr bullet is only moving at 700fps instead of 1400fps, is it really still 10mm? I would say no.

As a war historian, Firearm nerd and Gunsmith in training, there are a few revolvers that can be suppressed. Most notable being the Nagant revolver as it fixes the chamber problem by modifying the cylinder to move forward after spinning and kiss the barrel inlet and the rounds it fired designed to seal inside so that all the gass went into barrel allowing for full usage and later during WW2 adding a suppressor to it.

So the revolvers became tiny revolver shotguns. They said it was only useful to about 20-25ft to my knowledge.

[@eldoradocanyonro]

You weren't paying attention. At 7:20 and 10:12 you can clearly see at least 4 holes in the table---as well as in the table he is washing off, though they are harder to spot, but at the end AND when he breaks out the t-rex, you don't see any. So..... 2 tables? Video presented out of order? You decide.

[@srspower]

To be fair 500 magnum makes sense as subsonic. You can use a very heavy bullet and still have plenty of room for enough powder to keep it as close to the sound barrier as possible. It's the sort of round to get the maximum possible foot pounds whilst still being subsonic.

It would’ve been good to get a decibel meter to measure the difference in loudness between the two, that would’ve given the actual difference, and you could’ve quoted the difference in distance it would’ve been heard from (no wind scenario), which would’ve been an interesting thing to know. Great video as always 👍

[@jtcustomknives]

Decibel meters that can measure gun shots are VERY expensive. Talking x,xxx-xx,xxx prices. You can’t use a standard meter because a gunshots impulse is so short and loud that the mics and electronics can’t respond fast enough and the numbers it picks up are all over the place.

[@jameshealy4594]

@@scottydoesntno Why? It makes for an awful trigger pull, would need special ammo to even function correctly (nagant ammo has a long bizzare looking case to cover the remaining gap) for what exactly? Also this gun has been around for decades in a bunch of huge cartridges, the "built" is referring to the finish/supressor/sight so it's not something they could have done. Sorry to be a buzzkill.

[@krisnorman3598]

👍👍Great video as always, Scott! That is a VERY impressive custom revolver setup! I'd wager Magnum Research could sell that as a BFRUP (Biggest *Finest* Revolver Ultimate Precision - or - "Beefer-Up" as a slang name) in their model lineup. I'm sure in person, the difference was even more profound than it was on video, as the camera doesn't pick up a lot of sonic detail or the true intensity of a .500Magnum round firing - especially from a ported barrel. The first-round "pop", as-always, was still evident with the suppressed gun, but, not as bad as I expected. I would have liked to have seen what kind of cylinder gap gas ejection occurred on it with a regular (supersonic) loaded round. A side-by-side noise comparison between supers in suppressed vs. non-suppressed guns would've also been interesting. I'd bet that the suppressed gun firing supers would have a very cool supersonic crack-boom, rather than a massive thumping boom like the ported Taurus, or any typical .500Mag. Keep up the great work, Scott...Always a fan of your videos!

[@lil-joe5824]

Turkey! 3:36

[@the_inquisitive_inquisitor]

Just the difference between sub and super sonic makes a pretty big difference. You can SEE how much more gas is coming out of the Raging Hunter, and all that expanding gas makes noise.

Two standouts from this video: The 500 Magnum featured is absolutely gorgeous. Can't believe they were able to close the cylinder gap so well. And second; the slo-mo footage, yet again, is completely amazing. We keep getting treated with so many great captures in a single video~! Thanks, Scott~!

[@german373]

Interesting fact: Russian nagant m1895 revolver is ready silent when you shoot it with suppressor! It’s all because of its’ construction: the revolvers’ drum moves forward and connects with the barrel when you pull the trigger, so in the moment of shot there is no more gap between drum and barrel and eventually, all energy of powder gases uses to move the bullet! Actually, the nagant m1895 revolver is one of the most powerful revolvers in same caliber and in its’ time!!! I hope we all will can see this miracle of Belgian-Russian arms industry on Scotts’ channel!!!)))

[@ngcastronerd4791]

That suppressed Magnum is obviously a good choice for concealed carry. Get a good holster and no one will be able to tell you have anything on you. I'm sure that suppressor wont be much impediment to a quickdraw either. 😉 On a side note, you should have fired subsonics from the other revolver to make a true comparison. I'm no expert but the powder loads should be different for that variation in ammunition no?

[@jasonjuneau2948]

I'm not sure how long I've been watching Kentucky ballistics but I remember the videos when I started watching Scott was just doing comparison videos of different ammo manufacturers and shooting at ballistic gel. Now he's his own sponsor. 👍
