The “dad advice” you guys give has opened my eyes more than any advice from my real dad, my football and wrestling coaches, or my sergeants in the Army. As a father, who works as an x-ray technologist 12+ hour shifts 3-5 days a week, the last episodes hit me hard. “The only people who will remember all your overtime is your kids.” I may have 100% VA compensation and a decent-paying job, but even myself being 29 times, are tough. Yet I realized my kids don’t have me around as often, and with a third on the way, I decided to change that. I may not have real money in the bank or a very popular KZbin channel with sponsors making me able to work my hours and afford all the nice guns and things I want, but I at least do what I can for my wife and kids. I know Garand Thumb most likely won't read this, but I want you and the guys to understand your content has helped me to step back and view my life and goals with just the dad's advice alone. Again, thank you guys for all the workand content. And from one vet to another, thank you for your service!

If you think about it. That 4 bore of his gives off 200lbs of felt recoil. If he wasn't as big of a guy and I don't mean that in a bad way, he's just taller than average and built. But anyone less than 200 lbs would have a hard time shooting that. A 3.5 inch 12gauge has 62 lbs. of felt recoil for reference. It's insane to really think about. Even crazier thing is I did some research on how much those 4 bores and ammo go for and I almost died on spot seeing those numbers.

There's also the added bonus of the sound it makes will have the other guy looking for the tank that is shooting at him while he runs away as fast as he can.

[@ThorbjornMacBain]

For real, even a .357 mag will blow the target off the clips from the air pressure not the round at 10m.

[@gzuzsavz]

that's true..denial of cover is undeniably a bonus in combat. & body armor on your adversary trying to end you? Oh well..a 500 S&W hit..the slug may be stopped, but that bad guy is going to be flattened to the floor & have busted ribs & worse.

Although it was a incredibly disturbing one as a real humans head jumped into its position! As always a excellent piece of work by you three, very much appreciated and enjoyed by myself and i imagine thousands of others. Have a wonderful day fellas🫵🏻👍🏼

[@Heathenbilly]

I think it would be really interesting if you could do a demonstration on how much energy is delivered by putting one of these on free rolling tracks that roll forward and backwards. I would be extremely interested in seeing how much energy is put into the torso by how far it moved.

Notice how the temporary wound cavity on the first oblique shot was so massive that it vented bone, tissue, and fluid out the entrance wound from the chest shot! 😂. The bullet is proclaiming, “behold the field where I grow my fucks, and see that it is barren!” LOVE it!

[@darkhoursofday6250]

500s are great, but I use a 460 when I've gone into bear country. 460s S&W mags pack almost as much of a punch but don't hurt like 500s to shoot. You can get hotter loads so they travel faster than the 500s too and they fire 454 casul and 45 LC. 500s are fun though.

[@ccopeland712]

John Ross (RIP), author of the absolutely EPIC gun-culture novel "Unintended Consequences", and who has his own limited edition run of S&W 500s (Google it if you dont believe me) was probably the first, and maybe the only, guy to ever consistently carry a 500 concealed. When S&W first released the 500 he had a gunsmith cut down TWO of them to snubby length (2", or maybe 3", I forget), and he carried that matched pair (BOTH of them at the same time!) in a Thunderwear holster. I have personally witnessed this, and held one of them in my own two hands. Later, he developed a handload for the 500 with a *700* gr flat nose solid bullet. I once shot one cylinder of some of his personal, HOT, handloads thru a 6" 500, and darn near broke my wrists (or at least it sure felt that way at the time). His philosophy was "carry the biggest gun that you can shoot effectively, and for him that was the S&W 500. Needless to say, anyone that would have been insane enough to endanger his life would have been obliterated like this ballistic dummy.

[@jacksonthompson7099]

Oh lord....that recoil must have suuuuuucked. Usually you feel more recoil with longer barrels on these revolvers. Granted my S&W Model 29 has a 8 3/8" barrel and I don't find it terrible at all.

My first thought was identical. Having owned a 50ae for a long time I didn’t thing the 500sw would be bad . But it isn’t pleasant at all will be the standard description from now on . The lever gun is actually very nice to shoot , they are just very proud of it.

[@erikbukovac5944]

desert eagle is a semi auto, it absorbs some recoil with the slide. with revolvers you get all of the recoil and not to mention 500 SW is considerably more powerful

[@NYAxeMaster2010]

I love how on the first shot, right around the 3:55 mark, you see the bullet sail clean through the dummy, and kick up a huge dust/dirt cloud after impacting the berm, that round barely noticed hitting the body. Also, this video very clearly demonstrates what this handgun round was created to do, it's not a combat round, it's not a target round, it's not for recreational shooting, this was designed to be a freight train/wrecking ball. It's job is to hurl nearly one ounce, or heavier bullets, around 2000fps, to bring down the biggest, and potentially most dangerous critters that are posing danger to your person in the immediate vicinity

[@duckman12569]

7:33 you can actually witness the recoil travel through the arm

[@kuessebrama]

It looks really painfull :D But i would love to shoot it one day, but only if somebody i know has one because if i would buy such a gun i would probably only have it to shoot it maybe once every few month or to give it to other guys to try it out :D

Yep. Bears will take advantage of a downed prey. Super dangerous to be in mountainous areas with a downed animal, about to harvest the meat, and not be watchful or have a friend guarding the situation while your nose is down paying attention to the cape.

I felt that gut shot for a moment, having had 9 abdominal surgeries, brutal and not as quick of a death as the head shot. But damn son, I knew there was a reason I liked Taurus guns. 😅 I think it's a pretty safe assumption that you could put a bear down with that one and those rounds. 🐻☠️

When I was stationed in Alaska I had a few run ins with grizzly and moose while fishing or hiking and honestly just carry a shotgun or a large cal lever gun.

[@adamtwelve]

I loved that wholesome little bit at the end! I had to stop working so much overtime for that reason and also for my own sanity haha. Also, I think the recoil is probably worse on that Taurus compared to an actual full sized S&W .500 pistol with compensated barrel, because I have shot one before and the recoil wasn't that bad honestly. I think the Taurus is lighter, has a shorter barrel and doesn't have compensation cut outs on top of the barrel so that's why it's so rough to shoot. One last thought, a 10mm with proper full house loads is all you really need anyways, more than enough power to deal with dangerous game and bigger mag size plus less recoil.
