Imagine Getting Hit By This

[csl2006]

So we got bored this weekend and shot a crap load of ammo. Well my buddies got his .500 s&w revolver and some new 400 grain platnium tipped bullets for it supponsingly they claim they look like a star fish on impact so we had to test this theory. First we took a 55 gallon plastic barrel that was cut in half long ways (used as a feeding trough) and filled it full with water. Considering the size of the bullet and the fact it only moves 1900fps with the 400grain bullet we figured it be enough. *which it was suprisingly)*

Second we made it level to the shooting bench and rested and fired off 2 rounds hoping to find at least one good bullet. We found both bullets intact except one was only the jacket and the other had the jacket and core still intact. The intact one after finding it measured 1 5/8" at peak bend. The jacked bullet we tinkered with to see what would be the max expansion achieved upon impact and it was a outstanding 2 3/8" wide. So roughly it would blow a hole you could see threw the person you shot. Well heres the "star fish" platnitum 400 grain .500 s&w all intact *no tinkering with this intact bullet* I know im workin on getting a good SD capable camcorder to bring to the range and our projects we do bare with me here.

..you would defiantly be dead..... D E D

[csl2006]

well you'd be dead with just about anything you get shot with if shot correctly lol. This bad hoss I dont think you'd live if you got shot anywhere considering the size and hitting a artery and bleeding to death. 4$ a shot for those I dont believe I'll own one.

Just thank god it want a Ball round

[crazzyyredneck]

Thats prolly one of the coolest lookin things ive seen. Wouldn't wanna get hit with that. Prolly wouldnt feel a thing tho..dead on impact lol

That's wicked.

[csl2006]

lol it is pretty wicked. Sorry about the rez on the pic etc but you can fairly see on the tips they have a piece of metal sticking off pointed to a trinagle in the way the rifling is turned. So it rips and tears. He's gonna deer hunt with it this year so we're gonna see what kind of damage it does to a deer. My neighbor has some hog barns and we might get lucky enough to get a fresh pig carcus (bad one that cannot be processed) and fire a couple rounds into it. A hogs carcus is fairly close to a humans so the ballastics should be fairly close to what would happen if a human got hit. Stay tuned, we're still doing some testing on the ol 50.

Turn it into a keychain and make up some war story about how you were shot in Basra and scooped it out with your hands-dandy Boy Scout pocketknife.

my buddy has a gassaul 454 told me i can't shoot it though becuz my hands are to small to fit around the grip. standard rounds put out 1,300ft. lbs. of muzzle blast and he has some 1,800ft. lb. rounds has well. not sure what grain they are but it's one nasty piece.
