The Most Powerful Handgun Round Vs Human
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2023
- In today's video we look at the most powerful production pistol round in the world, the 500 S&W. Typically this round is used for self defense against large animals in the back country but today we'll be trying it on ballistic dummy torsos.

I'm convinced Charlie is going to see just how far he can push SDI before they say something 😅.
Is literally the only reason I dont skip the sponsors intro 😂
At least I know who SDI is. These ads are clearly working.
Freedom of speech
there is no way they dont know and its probably a reason why they keep sponsoring.
@@kylehill4437 This. Literally the only reason and only channel where I don't skip the sponsorship message.
Notice that even with something as large as .500 S&W directly hitting the lungs, the lungs remain in the body
Don't tell brandon
C'mon man...
Only a 9mm is capable of blowing the lungs out of a body. Clearly you don’t want to listen.
BLOWN OUT OF THE BODY
FJB Trump 2024 🇺🇸
As a paramedic, we have a technical term for this. It's called "injuries incompatible with life", where you can walk into a room and immediately just say "oh shit he dead as hell".
Dude, that head shot was freaking unbelievable. Talk about closed casket cartridge 😂
Shooting pumpkins with my 460 or 45-70 is similar.
@@redrustyhill2to me the 460 is more impressive, the speed is mental
@@tannermcguire7713 45-70 delivers same speed with a 300 grain bullet that 460 does with a 200 gn.
I’m sorry but you are WRONG! The world’s most powerful handgun is 40 S&W….
Great to see you here 🤠
Scott come fly yourself out here
Take the 4 bore with you! @KentuckyBallistics
@@GarandThumb If he aims the 4 Bore correctly, he might be able to ride the recoil there
460 xvr*
Nice to see SDI still on board after last video’s intro 😂
Was my all time favorite 😂
As an Arizonan, we thankfully still have an intact sense of humor 😂
I still don’t get what this snoring dessert Institute is about 😉.
That was OLD SCHOOL SNL skit quality My God I still can't stop. I'm dying.
I'm pretty sure Garrand Thumb viewers wouldn't remember the SDI promos if Charlie didn't butcher it every week.
This is one of the few RUclips channels that I hope:
A) Never change
B) Lasts forever
Two highly improbable scenarios, but the content, the chemistry, the humor... everything is so perfect I ... I just CAN'T 😭
I think that, should it ever end, it would only make what material we have even more special 😊
@@thewrighter206That's a quitters' mindset.
@@thewrighter206content can only last so long before it becomes mind numbingly boring. Watching the same videos over and over again would quickly smoke even the most forgetful of people, quickly
It's just a matter of time before they go woke
As a little kid, I used to know an old timer that lived in the deep woods of Maine. The 500 was his preferred chest carry gun while deep woods hunting the Canadian border region. He shot it flawlessly and had 3 fingers on his dominant hand. I'm pretty sure he wasn't human
As a toddler I knew a teacher who carried a 500 deap concealment in recess. He also wasn't human. He was a lizard person, also in deep concealment.
As a small child i really didn’t know shit…
@@RobertPatton-kz6lq was it tough growing up as a dumb kid?
@@miketoti144 damn man haha
i live in northern maine and only carry a .44 magnum with heavy hardcast loads, got me worried what he saw out there that made him believe a 500 was necessary, i've some some things out in the deep woods, but nothing that warranted that.
I like Charlie's thinking but I believe 45-70 is the minimum caliber to humanely take down a lizzo.
Nah. 700 Nitro for that land whale.
I mini nuke lol
I have to agree a 240 grain. 44 mag would just piss it off
Lmao 🤣🤣
No, no. We trank Lizzo's, put a radio collar on them, and release them back to the wild.
SDI has got to be chill as hell to sponsor these guys. To be honest they're about the only reason I know about SDI.
Don't you watch Brandon Herrera?
Bro, hickock45
These guys are the only reason I know of SDI, and I do watch Beandon Herrera 😂
@@niksonrex88can’t forget Hickok man
SDI is everywhere
Charlie’s dead pan humor and SDI introductions are just awesome.
Enjoy the past.
9:03
The drops of blood near the eyes, and in the t-shirt while he laughs it's pure nightmare fuel
Mike: that actually hurt a little! that wasn’t pleasant at all!
Gelatin Dummy: 👁️👄👁️
Regarding recoil, I remember Matt once said about his 500 revolver something like "Why it has 5 round cylinder? Who wants to shoot this thing 5 times in a row?"
lol, Maybe it's for once-a-day shooting Monday thru Friday. 🤔
I shoot the shorty twice….. it was two different days. 😂
watch: Europa thè last battle
It's a gun you load once, by the time you've fired the fifth round you are ready to sell it to the next fool.
I blew a aliens head apart in my aliens video lol
I’m weighing in at a buck 50 and shot this round my first time on a range and man… the recoil alone almost made me flag myself, I even cut my finger on the trigger guard somehow. It felt like losing a fight shooting this thing. Overall 10/10
This one has no filter
Omg can you imagine if they found out about this round in Chicago or Baltimore.
This is why we love you Charlie
That headshot was nightmare fuel, totally brutal. Charlie needs his own podcast. Such a man of wisdom..
Yes, it was very disturbing
"Can we show that on youtube?"
Do you think he's dead?
Legend has it a girl took a .500 to the face after trying to grab the gun after it went flying out of her hand. It was her ex-bfs gun. At least I assume he's an ex. Cuz dating a dead girl seems weird to me. But its 2023.
Yeah that was insane. The bones into freaking jelly. If that was a person they wouldn't die, they'd immediately cease to exist.
You gotta admire the way Scott just fires his .500S&W's like most people fire a 9mm. Of course, he's a rather stoutly built lad.
Mans a unit even a 50 caliber committing suicide with an overcharged slapp round couldnt kill him
Scott is an absolute unit and probably the genetic template for Clan Elementals from Battletech.
@@Maddog3060That's a deep reference, nice one.
No homo
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.
Crazy how calm it is when it shoots, barely seems like anything happens to the dummy until slow mo
Wow, brilliant and entertaining way to introduce your sponsors I actually watched it without skipping through, that’s a first! Well done!
That back of the head shot slo-mo was the goriest thing I’ve seen on this channel.
agreed
And despite that it had to compete against an artillery round.
Is it bad that it reminded me of the Palmer Thing transformation from Carpenter’s The Thing? Because seeing the front of the head after that shot reminded me of that lol
For those who don’t know those gel dummy’s are like 2500$ 😳😳
Good ROI though, $2500 plus some ammo (which is probably free) and you get a million views in a week lol
More than the gun
I always wondered how much they were!
U can make it at home …just buy fake bones and, the jel. …put it in the refrigerator for 3 days ..
They’re only like $500
Appreciate the content as always Mike! Praying for you brother 🙏🏻 keep it up
Thank you for this video Mr. Thumb
Gotta be the most devastating head shot to date on here ...literally would send eyeballs across the county. 👀
I see them from window , they flied right thru my property :D
I laughed so hard at that one!!! 🤣
that was text book "Nightmare Fuel",,,,hehe.
Overkill
But does it blow lungs out of bodies?
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 RUclips 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!
Well said. This reflects with me as well. Thank you for posting this.
Keep your chin up, Dad. You are one of us, creating a family, building our society, doing the most important role there is for a man. God bless.
Matthew 6:25-34. The Lord will provide, trust in Him.
I was considering working two jobs for a good while. I wouldn't be happy, but I know my family would be set. Now I'm just trying to make money from home doing what I love, just based on this advice I received some time ago. Thank you for the reminder
you could always have an adult conversation with your kids and see what theyd prefer.
dad home to hang out, or dad being gone more often, but being able to procure whatever their heart desires. kids are alot smarter than they get credit for. they can most likely understand.
Another absolute golden episode! 👍
Awesome video keep 'em coming
You know I watched one of your previous videos and one of the "Dad advice" comments really hit home for me. "The only person who remembers you worked late in the office is your kid." - I tell you man, that really hit home hard for me. It's made me think really hard about a lot of things.
That one fucked me up good too, except I will also remember cause I hate it so it's double great
You come home to your family every night. Your company will replace you the day after you die.
Yeah, same. I grew up without a dad and then my step-father was constantly working. I'm stopping the family curse with me and my kids, I've turned down well paying gigs before because they were in other states and I would be away from my kids for several months.
"And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me"
It's a song that gets sadder the more one thinks about it.
Charlie was on fire in this episode. So funny.
Used to work with a guy that had one of these and his description of recoil was “you’ll feel it in your soul”
That dad advice was worth a whole video. 💪🏻
Thank you.
Nice to see SDI still on board after last video’s intro . That headshot was nightmare fuel, totally brutal.
It's amazing how much bone was blown out of the wound channels, and that shot to the back of the head was like something out of a horror movie, the entire face structure simply disintegrated.
Even the shot to the gut blew a whole damn vertebrae out the back haha. Things scary especially that hesdshot
So much rage
That had a funkytowngore type feeling
Only if you imagine you as the recipient, don't do that, it's the enemy.
666 likes. Hail Satan!
500 magnum has nothing on the 9mm because it doesn't blow the lung out!
You win the internet today. But Charles has a lifetime win.
It’s also not even close to an ar-15 that shoots .50 cal and is as heavy as 10 large boxes
This is the video that got me hooked on your channel, I love the reverence and respect for the damage the bullets can cause as demonstrated on the ballistics dummy. Not a "brooooo" but a "fuck..."
Love it. Can't wait to get mine.

@@bombomosunfortunately due to legal reasons, it’s never going to happen.
@@codean909 fortunately due to illegal reasons, it’s entirely possible.
Thank you for shooting these crazy expensive torsos to give us such great content.
How much is one torso?
@@williamfoster5001 around $3000 depending on what you get in them blood pack, organ, or bone wise
@@williamfoster5001$3,295
@@williamfoster5001 I looked them up and the ones with heads are around 2500 and 2000 without the head.
@@cameronking3551 I imagine they get a discount though, as they're giving exposure. For example slow mo ballistics channel did a collab with the ceo of ballistic dummies and blew up like 10 of them
This was a good video guys keep it up
I have always enjoyed the word of wisdom at the end!
Am I the only one who misses the “if you ever…” intros?
And no putting our finger over his finger and ghosting the trigger on this one, either T.T
If you've ever lost your face to a 500 S&W, go and hit that like button.
No. You are not alone.
Agreed I want those back
"Ladies, gentleman, and my often forgotten about but not by me..."
I’d love to see a lever action in 500 S&W, I’d guess it would be more controllable and probably have a lot more energy coming out a longer barrel.
Big Horn Armory makes one, I think Kentucky does a video on it
They exist
I feel like at that point you could probably just change to an “actual” rifle round as far as size and capacity would go?
@@idontwanttoputmyname403Lever guns in Magnum rounds have stayed popular for a reason though.
.44 in a levergun is considered adequate for Black Bear, I'd imagine you could get away with the other bear colors in .500 at that point.
Maybe it's not the peak of efficiency, but if you want to throw a heavy round from a relatively light package, it works.
Wouldnt a semi Auto carbine be more usefull ?
With a magazin!
7:28
This is some Scanners level shit
Yes it was the most bad ass shot I’ve ever seen on a ballistic dummy awesome video
Charlie needs his own podcast. Such a man of wisdom.
I think he does actually
He is occasionally a guest on PacePerformance on Twitch and on Fridays you can submit pictures of your gun and he will roast it (all in good fun of course)
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Christ Died for Our sins according to the Scriptures, He was Buried, and Rose Again on the Third Day According to the Scriptures. Christ is Coming back for those of us that Belong to Him so much SOONER than any of us Think!!!!!. Christ is at the Door and at any moment will Rapture us outta here before all hell breaks loose, Get Saved Now while there is still time and while Christ may still be found, Accept Christ as Savior and BELIEVE on Him and what He did for YOU at the Cross. He paid our sin debt that we never could do that we could spend eternity with Him in Heaven, if you die in your sins not being saved you will be cast into the lake of fire ( hell ). It’s a place of torment and burning for eternity, It’s not worth it. You are Not too far Gone, Christ is waiting for You with open arms to come Home,if you were to die right now where will you spend eternity at? If the answer is not Heaven then Get Saved Right now before it’s too late. God Bless You all and Do Not Fear or Worry for God is in Full complete Control, Have Peace in Him and knowing he’s about to bring us home at any moment, keep looking up for our redemption draws near.
Moderately healthy fliers give thanks and a smile
Lol he is funny
Two things come to mind. Much larger than a 9mm and the lungs are still in the body and I am now eagerly awaiting to see Dr. Chris do his follow up video on this one.
Yea honestly i hate when people who dont understand guns make decisions about out rights to them. Oh and Sleepy Joe said despite there being a section of the government called alchohal, tobacco, and FIREARMS.
Another reason ATF and Joe need to go besides Joes blatent kiddy diddler behaviors
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.
The soundtrack is always insane in Garand’s videos
That shot to the head was gnarly. Literally blew his face off
you could say his mind was blown
Guess he doesn’t mind anymore
As someone who was AD Air Force, 13:34 is the most real thing I've ever heard.
realist thing ever! work doesnt care about you, you will be replaced.
@@hambone950 That's why some of most successful adult male stars stared own brand and own website. Can't be replaced if you are the boss.
@@boredape1257 There's still a boss of own-boss, it's called the Fed and they print money.
These one liners are getting so incredible good
+1 For that Taurus Raging Hunter, would love to see an episode focusing on the 500 and 454 models.
I love that people in the military have the best analogies for life.
A round like this for self defense would honestly be dangerous for both parties and anyone behind them
The taliban calls this "crowd control capabilities"
Especially for your ears
So is every rifle round by that logic
the "deterrence factor"
It’s not meant for people. This thing is meant for grizzly’s, elephants and hippos
So glad i found this channel, you guys are very entertaining. And who doesnt like watching guns fire , cheers guys , thanks for the entertainment.
This was insane 🔥
The sheer joy and awe on Mike’s face after that first shot was worth the whole video.
This is the kind of damage that the media thinks 9MM and 5.56 rounds do to the body 😭
Nah 9mm is even stronger than this. It will blow the lungs out of a human body.
Blowing the lung out the body
actually this doesn't have even close to the amount of power they say 9mils have
Those gun grabbers should watch this channel to get educated instead of simply believing ther gurus.
People are so infantilized right now they'll jump when they see blunt Sai in gym bags like they're a snake about to pounce on them.
Charlie didn't piss me of !!! Awesome
That execution shot was absolutely spectacular
Charlie is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs.
Agreed.
Man is the apocalypse, the blood moon, the falling sky, the tide of death incarnate.
Especially now from Li***
As a dumb indian, we have indeed been scammed. Thank you Charlie for bringing attention to this.
With .500 Magnums, of course.
That headshot was nightmare fuel, totally brutal
One of the best episodes ever.
The 500 Magnum. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill it. And everything three houses down.
Truthfully… it doesn’t HURT to shoot it. But fun is not a word I’d use to describe it. More like exhilaration. Like surviving a tornado. Or a train wreck.
It is criminal that there is no dedicated 40s&w ballistics video like this on your channel
My favorite part is how the ballistic dummy maintains a big toothy smile even after getting 500-ed several times
He loves a good challenge
4:56 my doctor looked just like that... when he gave me a prostate exam. Charlie looks like he is right at home doing something hes done 1000 times before.
thanks!

Why?
It's obvious shep hasn't watched enough garamd thumb
Love that final word at the end of the video
So Awesome!!!!
7:33 you can actually witness the recoil travel through the arm
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
The s&w500 performance center with 8.5" barrel has a muzzlebrake on it and it does a good job at taming the recoil to the point where it's not punishing.
Until you use some hardcast bear loads in them. I've shot that gun, and let me tell you it's still an absolute animal.
@@MrWildfire92 I've used the Hornaday hunting rounds in it. They seem to be more aimed at deer than bear
So does my 4” non performance .500 S&W.
🤘🏻😁
@@MrWildfire92guess you've never shot a .500 Bushwhacker huh?
Charlie makes this channel! He is the cherry on top of an already amazing dish.
This video was mind blowing 🤯
DAMMMM!!! That execution shot from the back of the head in slow-mo was brutal.. You guy sure know how to set shit up for overkill.. 👍
that left me almost speechless, I had to watch it twice
It looks very realistic
44 magnum: I’ll send you straight to hell with no chance of purgatory
500 SW: Allow me to introduce myself
To be fair both will have the same result. Like the Chieftain said, if you get hit by a 30 cal or a 50, the difference will be merely academic.
“The Adele, Hello from the other side.” Got me 😂😂
it's a hunting cal, as you note and also a fun cal..ofc for an EDC, most ppl will be fine with
from .380 to 45acp but..thankfully we have monsters like the .500 S&W to keep things lively.
thnx for the cool video! it played out as i pictured it..a decimated dummy in short order, lol.
some epic terminal ballistics on display.
7:40 "Can we see him?"
"Can we show this on youtube?"....I was literally asking myself that same question when he said that lol. That headshot was insane.
It's only been posted for 4 hours.....YT hasn't found it yet.
I did download the video just in case it ain't fine
The commentary is amazing
Duuuuude That headshot is sick af🤯
8:00 literally the definition of “pick your face up”
Those slow-mo shots are absolutely wicked...I have a whole new respect and admiration for this round after seeing this.
Have you always had tattoos why do I feel like this is the first time I have ever seen them , look awesome bro
That advice was very insightful. Broski really states things people need to hear.
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!
It's a huge relief to see that Kentucky commented. Haha. He is literally the king of abnormally large rounds. And im glad that all these guys are friends which makes it way more entertaining.
hahhah The Adell The Hello From The Other Side … Too Sick … Love it. Respect
Garand is looking jacked 💪🏼
I shot a .454 casull. It was incredible! One shot and the recoil went right up my arm to my shoulder. I said I'm done, that's enough for me. I have no problem with .44 Mag or .357 mag and I regularly shoot .45 acp but that thing was brutal!
Same. .44 is where the line seems to be drawn. No problem with a .44. Anything bigger, and just a big old no thanks from me. Unless I am in Alaska I guess. Lol.
@@eriklarson9137 nothing in my neck of the woods a .44 won't take down ..
You definitely gotta 2 hand the 454. She's an expensive date at the range but she's definitely the coolest pistol I own.
I have a Taurus in .454, pretty much the only time I put .454 in it is when other people shoot it. I run .45 colt in it if I plan on running more than 5-10 rounds. It goes from fun to "Damn that kinda sucks" pretty fast even with a ported barrel.
I own a .460 XVR with an 8-3/8" barrel and walnut grips. The revolver has so much mass that .45LC has nearly no perceived recoil. Surprisingly the recoil impulse is not terribly different when firing .454 compared to .460 polymer tip from Hornady. Last time I brought it to the range the ammo went from $35 for twenty to $97.65... Thanks inflation.
NEVER LOSE CHARLES, he's the perfect amount of morbid and insightful needed for this channel. LOL.
Edit: DON'T MAKE ME GO OUT AND BUY A .500SW now. You're making this look super fun.

Do the 454 casull next! Love this series
Charles' lines are just amazing. "Yeah it's pretty lit." Is the best commentary about France's riots.
Personally I absolutely loved the head shot, the way that ballistic dummies face just exploded was a beautiful sight. 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🫵🏻👍🏼
ever heard of "3 guys one hammer?"
yesss i want to see more shots like that....
yeah it peaks my morbid curiousity enough without being inhumane. its the closest you can get to the actual thing without crossing the edge. ive always been curious about the devastation of this gun on a person after shooting one a few years ago.
My hands flew into ready position seeing that. Delightfully horrendous. "Can we show this on RUclips," indeed.
Back of the head shot was beautiful.
Charlie graduated and MM just welcomed a child man good things happening on the channel I love it!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍keep those good vibes coming GOD knows any and all good news is welcome on this planet. Congratulations.
