Watch: The Power of the Most Powerful Hand Gun in the World, the S&W 500

Gun enthusiasts are itching to have this most powerful handgun – the Smith & Wesson 500 magnum.

The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot; single-action/double-action large-caliber revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, firing the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, a .50 caliber bullet.

It is built on S&W’s largest frame, the X-Frame, which was developed because none of S&W’s existing double-action frame designs could handle the muzzle energy and pressures generated by the .500 S&W cartridge.

It is the most powerful production revolver in the world today, and it is being marketed as being “the world’s most powerful handgun” by the manufacturer.

In the following video uploaded by gun expert Hicock45, he shows us how powerful the S&W 500 is by firing into an almost 5,000-page book.

The 500 S&W Magnum is not for everyone who loves guns anyway. Its power comes with expensive price. According to Gunbroker.com, the factory price of 500 S&W Magnum ranges from $1,200 (Php 55,481) to $1,300 (Php 60,100).

With its heavy and large frame, the 500 S&W Magnum is not a gun for everyday protection. Most gun enthusiasts used it mostly for sports.

If you have a lot of money and love guns, you can try it out and test if how many shots your wrist can hold.
