Smith & Wesson released the .500 S&W Magnum revolver in 2003, and just 2 years later (2005), Resident Evil 4 already featured it as the "Handcannon". As a big fan of magnum caliber revolvers, great job Capcom.
@@wrongturnarchery2337 Watch Kentucky Ballistics, a large portion of his videos are about shooting the .500 S&W Magnum, especially the 10-inch PC model that is featured in RE5.
In the Licker Corridor, the U-shape one in 5-2, there is plenty distance for you to clean house with the M500, it pierces through every enemy you hit, it easily kills every single one of those lickers before they can ever get close, and the venture nets you 5 Lion Hearts every 2 minutes, that’s 12500 gold every 2 minutes. The fastest way to earn money in the game afaik.
The Lightning Hawk is definitively better than the SW 500, in the vast majority of cases. Due to it's firing speed and recoil, it puts out more total damage if you compare the two over a set amount of time. There's only a select few instances that the SW 500 works "better," and that's in cases that you can easily stun enemies in one shot. Though that's mostly nullified because the enemies are going to die super quick regardless. Despite that, I still always ended up using the infinite ammo SW500 as my main gun just cuz it's more fun, and infinite ammo rocket launcher for anything that I need to one shot lol.
Far more engaging yes, but dying in one hit no matter what wouldn't be so bad if the ai wasn't so stupid. To beat some chapters on pro you NEED a human partner. It is far too frustrating even with infinite ammo. This is assuming you want to attain an S rank, which is what I try to do. In hindsight pro mode is easy if you would rather have any other rank than S.
@@michaelrubino5897 I did it solo. Automatically only used the desert 50 AE or Mag AE. If you have the money use bullet armor because the soldiers hit hard. Use 3 herds. Cover is good in all chapters but only use attack mode with open space because the A.I tends to use other weapons.Only use the 50 AE so much easier
I recently bought this game three days ago (as I have been meaning to play this since it originally came out but had neither the 360 or PS3). Got the S&W M500, and it makes every enemy your bitch. But as you said, the pathetically slow fire rate makes it hard for follow up shots. Love the video my guy. :)
The gun is stupidly OP, even more so than in RE4, because at least in that game, you had to beat mercenaries AND use 790,000 gold to upgrade it. I do prefer the L Hawk though… makes the game at least a bit more challenging and has a faster rate of fire.
Nice Joe. Your weapon vids are super professional. I'd tell re4's Merchant to hire you to sell weapons. Will you do this for normal weapons in categories or a video for each one?
@@nucleus691 No shit, there are some youtubers that can shoot this gun one-handed multiple times with no wrist pain whatsoever, so even if it's real life or realistic game as long as the user is a well trainer soldier they can all shoot this with ease.
It's a secret kill.damge wesker until he exposes his front weakspot.stun him and go behind and there will be a restrain button and a qte.Finish the qte and you got yourself an early win.
Just in comparison, This gun is just a bit stronger then the Lighting Hawk (Dessert eagle AU long barrel) Both can pierce inch steel with ease, break through concrete with just one shot. So theoretically this gun is the same damage as the lighting hawk in RE2
In real life, there are 3 different types of ammunition for the S&M Model 500. One of them shoots a 350 grain bullet, a 500 grain bullet, and the most ridiculous over power 700 grain bullet that looks like a big piece of solid block of metal and trust me, it’s scary as hell. If I have to say which type of ammunition it uses in RE5, I would say it would be the over power 700 grain bullet. It’s obvious because how the way Chris shoots it with all that disgusting recoil and how slow it fires.
Well to be honest the recoil part shouldn't be a factor because the reticle doesn't move. So even tho I've never played the game I would imagine it would be more of a timing factor. But killer video tho!
Who ever needs help go behind the Uroborus 2.0 with the flamethrower spray his back down like your life depended on it and have your partner to shoot the orange balls
I prefer 4's handcannon because of the looks and awesome animations, 5 was basically the same thing same animations etc. but 4's was more satisfying to use in my opinion.
I’m trying to complete Resident Evil 5 on veteran mode with the S&W M500 with infinite ammunition without it upgraded at all it’s easy the gun is powerful without it upgraded but I like it better with the fully upgraded version.
The Handcannon in RE4 was the same gun, a Smith and Wesson Model 500. Even though it isn't called the Handcannon in game, they are both the same thing.
I got the infinite rocket launcher and just spam that to every boss and the unique weapons for everyone else. Edit: Who am I kidding, I spam the IRL on literally every enemy.
hold up, i have re5 for my switch, and the magnum i have fully upgraded with unlimited ammo is the L. Hawk, and that takes 2 shots to kill any boss except for the reapers. is there something wrong?
If Chris can punch a fucking 6 ton boulder out his way im pretty sure he doesnt even need this gun, or ANY gun. Just go thru the whole fucking game Saitama-style, bud.
find config.ini file in the save game directory something like C:/Documents/Users(Your username)/Capom folder, change the stereo setting from OFF to ON and save the file, restart the game, you'll have the laser guidance for all weapons

JumpmanSavage From shooting the gun or punching a literal fucking boulder?
JumpmanSavage THIS IS CHRIS FRIGGIN REDFEILD! HE PUNCHED A BOULDER AND WON WITHOUT EVEN A FLINCH!
Nah. He’s fine. He punches boulders for fun.

Oddly enough he seemed to receive greater pain in his fist punching Wesker than he did punching the boulder.

The Handcannon/S&W M500 has better damage in Resident Evil 5, since the gun alone could have upgraded throughout time of 2010.
it's still the same ol' .50 caliber revolver.
Damage is really negligible when most enemies will die from 1-2 shots

Oh? Have you met our lord and saviour, .500 Smith & Wesson, then? If not, let me introduce you.
Not gonna lie I prefer the Lightning Hawk, it fires much faster and is only slightly weaker than the regular magnum but it is still super effective
Same here. Easier to aim due to the weight and the recoil is easier to handle making you hit targets more consistently than the other 2 magnums.

When you enable partner damage, 1 shot of this can kill Sheva.

thank you
Joe E Kennedy No Problem
I wish I could slog through this game solo. I never realized the Handcannon was an unmodified Blue Rose.
If the m500 has that much recoil with the muzzle brake it may just fall off the hand if it doesn't have a muzzle brake
great as always
ty as always
Can you imagine Cris wrist after this video
ras 47 He can take it. He did literally punch a boulder after all.
You make me want to reinstall this game to my hard drive.
Just done with this game 2 day ago pkaying till 4 am... And now, aiming to get this gun 🤔👌 and... WHAT THE HELL THOSE REAPERS WERE SO EASY IN RE3 😭
George Lockhart they remind me of the novistadors in RE4 but instead of flying they’re much slower and they stab you to

How does it fare against the boulder?
S&W 500 is my favorite gun.
My namesake cannon
A great weapon indeed but it's like you said, the recoil and fire rate are huge drawbacks.

It’s obvious because how the way Chris shoots it with all that disgusting recoil and how slow it fires.
I bust out laughing when I looked up the 700 grain
Always heard the Triple Shotgun was best, its tooltip was deceptive but it basicly had tripled its listed damage and out DPSd the Magnums
My load out in RE5 are Hydra, Handcanon rest are first aid sprays
You know I always like s&w m500 (Handcannon)
Tyler Loston thanks (thank you)
Well to be honest the recoil part shouldn't be a factor because the reticle doesn't move. So even tho I've never played the game I would imagine it would be more of a timing factor. But killer video tho!

This gun in real life is an absolute monster. But the recoil is nowhere near what is depicted in the game lol.

the cross hair that you see is on PC when you use keyboard and mouse.
God the music in this video is awesome. Can you tell me the names of tracks?
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels that away there are always somebody who thinks like you
I prefer 4's handcannon because of the looks and awesome animations, 5 was basically the same thing same animations etc. but 4's was more satisfying to use in my opinion.
Yea I do agree the RE4 handcannon had a better feel to it, but I still like the RE5 version.
RE4 had the best gun sounds and reloads
Yeah he’s awesome 👏
I always use the rocket launcher to defeat the boss at the end of chapter 5-2.

Who handles the 500 magnum better? Leon or Chris?
A real life SW 500 has much less kick than you think due to the muzzle brake. But the ammo ain't cheap

whats the next weapon and when

Resident Tentacle 5
Guess its really painful for Chris
I use a maxed out hand cannon and give Sheva a maxed out lightning hawk and just steamroll thru the game
Does your teachers at you school know you make RUclips videos
I’m playing on Xbox one and when I upgrade my S&W m29 the hand cannon doesn’t pop up in the store. Anyone know why?
Jacob Rizzitano u did the stelling glitch
You need to upgrade the S&W M29 completely fot the M500 to appear. By the time you start Chapter 4-1, the M500 should already be in the shop.
How did you get the aim circle?
Play the game with a standard mouse and keyboard, that’s how you get the crosshair since it removed the laser sighting for controllers.
0:47WTF
That’s pretty common, even more in The Mercenaries mode
I remember playin veteran mode and that happening and i died cause sheva is fucking stupid
yeah last minute reflex after his head gone
idk infinite ammo rocket launcher was op asf

How did you do ?your target is big..
HOW DO YOU GET IT
max the m29

the m29 is better with slightly higher dmg then desert eagle.
