Another S&W .500 Revolver Blows Up!

Recommended Posts

This isn't the first S&W to blow up, but I think the first one I've seen blow the barrel off?

Usually the ones that have blown up brake the top strap of the frame (over the cyl) - that's why I purchased the Magnum Research BFR when I got my .500 - Built like a tank......

That has to be a holy sh!t moment for the shooter.

If you have never fired a .500 Revolver, you cannot imagine the boom it makes in the stall indoors!

I cannot imagine what that actually sounded like when it gernaided.........

Do we know for sure it was not a shooter error?  I.e. leaded up barrel?  Squib?

Not shooter error as he looked to be a newcomer.   Maybe his buddy who filmed it and maybe said buddy was a reloader.
