Watermelon vs. 50 caliber S&W M500 500 magnum

[CODMW254]

Omg

[konradfun]

Just to be honest I thought the watermelon would win but GREAT VID!

[ItalianTony86]

Smith & Wesson. Accept no substitutes.

[nueblackcrowfriend]

I'm Italian, where can I get one of those hand-cannons?

[bmister50]

Saints360row....If you live in Alaska this gun has plenty of practicality.

[moloian1]

mama mia!

[1wsuret4]

スピードがもたらす破壊力だろうな。他の９ｍｍとかの銃で撃って­も同じようだったりして

[glynhoyland]

53 black people have watched this video

[DJN0tnicehear]

Haha i shot this gun a while ago(im 13) and it broke my nose hehehe ill just stick with the .357

[Crylhound]

Same effect on Zombie head? Nice

[SindreDK]

I love this gun! Tried it last week, just awsome! And accurate as well!

[Patmclean232]

Holy shit!!!!! Fruit salad!!!!!

[shadowr434]

Such a waste of delicious fruit. LOL

[1991araaron]

Yea!



[StillBallinDriftTeam]

i feel bad for the watermelon they taste so good

[Leonknight23]

if only that watermelon was justin bieber...

[zambimaru]

Is it easier to handle with a longer barrel? 

[shadowr434]

@zambimaru The long barrel version is easier and pretty accurate.

[Marcohazard]

didn't I see the same gun in BIOHAZARD 4 and 5?

[saints360row]

The reason the watermelon explodes is because, well, it's mainly water! 90% to be exact. The average male body holds approximately 60% water. So I'm guesstimating that the devastation to a male body from this handgun would be about 1/3 less than to a watermelon. Then again, you have more structure and muscle... But I'm just talking in terms of water. :p And after all, it is just a novelty gun. Not much practicality with this baby. Still, there is much awe in the .50 caliber magnum round.

[wills11485]

this is the saddest day ever in black history

[Stigmableedingblack]

@wills11485 hahaha yeah

[N1NJ4F15H]

man are we gonna eat TONIGHT

[MegaGamerRO]

How many rounds can fire this gun before it breaks.

[ominousmaximus]

@ 2-4 dollars a shot I sold mine its not worth it.

[pathwaylight]

That's some nice shootin' for such a big ass kick!!

[saints360row]

@pathwaylight -Follow-through.

[GrizzlyPanda347]

Remember when the watermelon was still there?

[SludgeCityGore]

@ludwigdrummer1 the sound you hear on this video and actually shooting it are completely different. The 500 shakes your entire body with the soundwave, including everyone within a ten foot radius. It's a crowd stopper at any shooting range. I brought mine with the 4" compensated barrel, and the range asked me to leave because the other patrons felt uncomfortable with the gun and they were complaining of their ears hurting, even with the EP. its a handful.

[JDL20x]

that be your head

scary

[Rucka4life1]

Wait.. What watermelon?

[an10nee]

For the love of god please tell me they were the ones that had seeds lol

[ludwigdrummer1]

AWESOME GUN!!!! Thinking on getting the standard compensator 8 3/8" version. What type/grain weight ammo were you using for this video? The sound on this vid is great! I turn up the volume on my speakers just to get a "taste" of what a .50 cal magnum actually sounds like. Great vid, bud!!!!!

[dwebb210]

@ludwigdrummer1 - I hand loaded these identical to the commercially available Corbon 350 grain Jacketed hollow point, advertised 1700 feet per second, 2338 foot pounds of muzzle energy.

[Henbot]

lols nothing left

[bullfinals1]

damn i pick the watermelon to win lol

[omegalfa13]

poor watermelon.....



[zionbandit420]

what if that was someones head?

[42Mrchadman42]

the Kodiak is a bigger gun but the 500 is a magnum so don't know which is more powerful.

[dwebb210]

@42Mrchadman42 You need to be more specific. What Kodiak? Several manufacturers make a gun they call a Kodiak. Are you talking about a rifle? handgun? What cartridge? The 500 magnum is the most powerful production handgun.

[deanbrickland]

@dwebb210 why does everybody say that the .44 magnum is the most powerful handgun in the world but clearly this is a 50 cal. why isnt this gun more famous???????????

[Izanagi1990]

@deanbrickland because of Dirty Motherfucking Harry? i think he said that in the first movie... before shooting some random guy in the streets

[deanbrickland]

@Izanagi1990 thanks

[dwebb210]

@xcode394 This video was shot more than 4 years ago and there was a surplus of watermelon. These cost $2.00 each, and farmers were happy to get that for them. I'm sorry you were offended by this video, but if you don't like seeing them explode, you are searching for the wrong media. Go back to your basement, ask your mommy to bring you some hot cocoa, search for some Hello-Kitty cartoons, and leave the men alone.

[xcode394]

@dwebb210 actualy i would ask my mom to bring me some hot cocoa but considering how she lives about 20-30 miles away from me right now, its kinda hard to do that.

[GabXriel8]

@xcode394 LOL

[jcodym13]

@dwebb210 we get bitch at for shooting animals, so we make a video of shooting a fruit or vegetable and we STILL GET BITCHED AT?!?!

[dwebb210]

@jcodym13 Liberals need SOMETHING to complain about. If it looks fun, it must be wrong.

[Rey1290]

@dwebb210 Tell me about it. Nothing is ever good enough for them.

[GooberNuf]

@jcodym13 This world man.. Haha

[themarsh0919]

@dwebb210 You should go and look around for watermelons in our country. A lot of cheap watermelons are being sold in streets and markets. They cost around 60.00 PHP (about $ 1.40) and that's the standard price during summer season.

[neheh65]

@dwebb210 wheres his comment

[mskiUSMC]

I went shopping for a Smith 500 mag, and I asked the salesman, what the hell would you shoot with this monster, to which he replied, what WOULDNT you shoot!... touche' saleman!!

[Kurisuchianu89]

Redneck shootingrange! Welcome to America! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAW!

[turbonbc]

That watermelon got Terminated

[pROTPANDA]

Well that is a Killing machine.

[Yelkwood9]

damn

[thedoubledeus]

hows the recoil on that big bastard

[mdeslinger]

@thedoubledeus ive heard the huge weight makes up for most of it, id compare it to a small frame .44 mag

[YoitsYeo]

@tehdude15 - dude, a 5.00 cal is something you would see on the deck of an aircraft carrier O_o...

[teknic111]

I do want a .50 caliber for the collection, but can't decide if I should get the S&W or Desert Eagle. Thoughts anyone?

[SasquatchLegend]

@teknic111 If you want watermelon-vaporizing magic, then purchase the S&W 500.

[Lycanion0]

@teknic111 The M500 is the way to go, the Deagles got renown but the M500's got class

[moltendown]

@teknic111 well if your collection autos or revolvers?

[SuperAvailable123]

that watermelon must be hungry to eat bullet

[MrJo1340]

poor watermelon...

[CapnE625]

8 watermelons were harmed in the making of this vid O_O XP.

[klesshenn1]

my favorite weapon !

[DemonReaver117]

Was anyone thinking "BOOM HEADSHOT" when the melons incinerated?

[bberns2]

it's basically useless as a personal protection device against a home intruder and only and idiot would think about it for that purpose. better off with off with a .347 or .40 if you want home safety.

[No1Richman]

Lol i want to see you shoot a burglars head and splosh him like a watermelon xD

[Cerberusballs]

Can you put a stock on this monstrosity?

[impersonator280]

Gaz: Nice! Your fruit killing skills are remarkable.

[20 years later...]

Captain Macmillan: Look at this place, fifty-thousand watermelons used to grow on this farm, now it's a ghost town. I've never seen anything like it.

[thechinadesk]

Strictly speaking, so-called "hand cannons" make no sense whatsoever in terms of design logic.

The whole point of a handgun is light weight and portability.

Firearms come in certain configurations.

handguns -> submachine guns/PDWs -> carbines/assault rifles -> main battle rifles -> LMGs/SAWs -> HMGs -> etc.

Whenever a firearm exceeds the weight and size limits for its configuration, it ceases making design sense.

It makes more sense to move up to the next higher configuration.

[awakeindeath]

@thechinadesk

The 500 smith and Wesson is designed as a hunting weapon. Not a personal defense weapon. The idea is that the gun can and will take down any size game in the states, and act as a secondary 'finishing off' gun for very large game. Not every gun weapon of war. So, for the niche this gun was designed for, it makes perfect sense. There is a large group of handgun hunters in the world, and this is the biggest of the big gun for them.

[thechinadesk]

@awakeindeath

Clearly that was the intention. But the same arguments still apply. Just because one is shooting game animals rather than other human beings, doesn't change the characteristics of the firearm itself. A 500 Magnum is still going to weigh too much and kick too hard.

Exceed a certain weight, size, and recoil, and it makes sense to jump to a different firearm configuration, such as a Scout Rifle.

[RobWarrens]

@thechinadesk The design logic does make sense. There are applicable uses for this gun. Example: Campers, fishermen, wildlife rangers, etc. can carry this small weapon for protection from bears instead of carrying a large rifle with them. This gun was at one time actually marketed for just that purpose.

[thechinadesk]

@RobWarrens

I suppose it boils down to where one draws the line between firearm configurations. For me, the 44 Magnums such as the Smith and Wesson Model 29 and the Ruger Super Blackhawk, are right on the cusp.

The 454 Casull, and the 460 and 500 Magnums are way over the line.

But hey, as long as someone is spending his own money, fine by me.

[TehManBEarPiG]

1. I've fired one of these (I'm 14 btw) and it winded me, I'll tell ya this gun is for the brave of heart and...

2. @cod kid, no I don't think you can and you would have to have some serious balls to try it, and also alot of money

[MegaGamerRO]

Caliber ?

[PsychoCatIndustries]

Would that qualify as a wrist killer?

[Cerberusballs]

I wonder if it's possible to duel wield these things......

[MrEpicFail1]

@Cerberusballs gtfo the grown ups are talking go back to your call of duty

[Cerberusballs]

@MrEpicFail1 I've never played Call of Duty. I'm a Halo fan myself. And you have to admit, a video of a man dislocating his shoulders trying to do exactly that would be very entertaining.

[Cerberusballs]

@MrEpicFail1 I'm more of a Halo fan myself. And you have to admit, a video of some jackass rolling around in the grass behind his mama's trailer wailing in pain with two badly dislocated shoulders and with a pair of these thundermakers at his side would make for a very entertaining twenty seconds, wouldn't you agree? Oh, and last time I checked, "grown ups", one of which you claim to be, know where the shift, comma and period button are of the fucking keyboard.

[westcali84]

Ok, now we can hunt a blue whale! lol

[GutenTagFaust]

There never was a watermelon. It was a figment of our imagination.

[crownroyal111]

ahahahaa

[andresayz4545]

question - can you shoot the .50 cal beowulf rounds through this?

[CydeWeys]

@andresayz4545 Nope, they're different cartridges that happen to be similar in appearance, bore diameter, and muzzle energy. But that's about it.

[101pokedude]

what a waist of watermelon

[Theslydonkey]

holy shit how longs the barrel? it must be fucking massive or the gun would be fucking unnacurate

[Eliterule213]

your fruit killing skills are remarkable

[cocitos27]

POOR. Poor. watermelon(slient moment)..never stood a chance

[jimmym35x]

So glad I bought this piece, I've had it for almost 2 years and luckily for a would-be criminal I haven't had to unleash it. Screw putting a home alarm sign in your yard, I want one that says "Protected by Smith & Wesson"

[guizmo5555]

id like to shoot a moose with that

[Namasu604]

those are some fine watermelons you're shootin there, what kind are they? Carolina cross? Seedless? If they're seeded you mite be able to grow yourself a shooting range in a couple months.

[Eyeball1975]

Very cool, but you get much nicer presentation if you use a knife to cut water melons! :)

[TheTmk25268]

beautiful

[TheGogitta]

dear santa...

[Jaahaah]

What has more foot pounds of energy behind it, the heaviest load S&W .500 or a 12 gauge shotgun slug?

[CheesyMcpleasy]

Holy fuck that was awesome!

[laksemann]

Why do everyone kill the poor whatermelons? :(

[brisinger444]

now i understand why it is used for hunting elephents...

[SelkitFox]

Nothing quite like a good dose of concentrated KE. Splat.

[cyruzj]

try shooting some coconuts



[merctp45]

i keep seeing these watermelon videos cabbage videos, man Y DONT U SHOT SOMETHING BIGGER! BIG CALIBER, BIGGER TARGET like a piece of dead cow

[yakuzawarlord]

Vaporized. You shot it back to its germinated seed state. The watermelon literally traveled back in time.

[AmbroseOh]

GUN goes BOOM! , and WATERMELON goes BYE-BYE!

[mofo316ok]

can you put a scope on that?

[dwebb210]

@mofo316ok People have put scopes on the 500 magnum, and they are very accurate. 

[stoopidoooo]

@dwebb210 would it fuck up the optics though, like because of the recoil

[Egamer1]

@dwebb210 dont wanna lose grip of that after firing

[meg4010]

@mofo316ok yes you can put a scope the s and w 50 cal i take mine to the range and fire 150 yards its a god damn rifle

[mofo316ok]

@meg4010 Awesome is there any way to soften the recoil of the gun though?

[ludwigdrummer1]

Man, the sound on this vid of that .500 Magnum is friggin' AWESOME!!! Love that blast from each round. Way cool video!

[00000168]

o_O I would NOT want to get shot by that.

[spanky061970]

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE.

[dwebb210]

@tehdude15 Were you dropped on your head?

[guitarzan1283]

@dwebb210 i think someone smacked him upside the head with a real .500 s&w and he just thought it felt like it was 18" long i dont get the 5.00 though think he just failed 1st grade math good vid though

[someguy33119]

@dwebb210 lol, imagine what a 5.0 magnum would do to that watermelon

[Eyeball1975]

@tehdude15 Hahahahahaha...... I can't believe you just said that. Funniest thing on you tube for ages! pmsl :)

[wschappell]

@tehdude15 5.00? Really? A five inch caliber handgun? AHAHAHAHAHA! Not only were you dropped on your head, I want some of whatever your smoking!

[hogger129]

@tehdude15 - The bullet diameter is 0.500". Therefore, it is .50 caliber. It doesn't matter that there's an extra 0 on the end of it. It's still a 12.7mm cartridge like many other .50 caliber cartridges.

[abot19]

@tehdude15 erm 5.00 would be a 500 caliber, its .500 that is a 50 cal

[timd789]

@tehdude15 you obviously have not a fucking clue what you're talking about. calibers are expressed as decimals. meaning that .5 .50 and .500 are exactly the same. its called the .500 because that sounds cooler. it could be .500000000 magnum and that would still be half an inch. stick with video games buddy.

[anthoniokl]

@tehdude15 actually the s@w500 mag does come in 50 cal its called a 500 because because its a 500 grain cartridge they also have a 700 grain measurement for the ammo in this pistol as well.i own one.before you post something get enlightened about the product you fucking pouge

[netrioter]

@anthoniokl come on man.. theyre all .50 caliber..caliber is about inches....44 mag is a .440 thousands of an inch round. a 500 is a 50 cal...the 45 cal is .450 thousandths of an inch. the 9mm would be a 35 caliber (.354 inches)..the 7.62 mm is a .309 cal (almost a .308 winchester)...you need to read up too my friend. ALL 500 S&W rounds regardless of grain is a 50 cal...and they make a 290 to 775 grain round for your "500 grain" gun thats also in "50 Cal"

[phattacorider]

@tehdude15

Whatever you're smoking, I want it cuz it sure as hell fucks you up!

[bringerovdeath]

@tehdude15 5.00 cal would be larger than the 120mm cannon on an Abrams tank

[tehdude15]

@bringerovdeath i know -_- im ashamed of that comment -_- its actually equal to 144mm

[netrioter]

@tehdude15 are you high? its 8 and 3/8's inches for the REAL 500 S&W Magnum handgun...with any diffuser in it. its a .50 caliber,always has been. .500 is HALF A FUCKING INCH..a .50 CALIBER DESERT EAGLE SHOOTS THE .50 CALIBER 50 ACTION EXPRESS...SAME CALIBER....but way different and weaker round.THE .50 BMG IS HALF AN INCH but smokes both rounds i mentioned put together.Next time..read before you spout off about things you have no concept of.

[tehdude15]

@netrioter hey... hey you... do you see how many months that comment has been out? do you see how many views this vid got? do you know how many smart asses have replyed to that comment? 100+ so back off. you should have stayed quiet cuz lots of other ppl have been annoying me

[netrioter]

@tehdude15 remove the original post and you wont get harassed for your ignorance...just sayin

[moltendown]

@tehdude15 your retarded if it was a 5.00 and would remove your arm from its socket. caliber means diameter in inches and .500 is a 50. 5.0 would be a five inch bullet. do some research genius

[XxstryaexX1]

@tehdude15 dude stop playing black ops its  .50 CAL a 5 inch gun bore would not be practicle and would be more dangerous for the shooter and DO YOUR FRICKEN RESEARCH

[bananasofthesea]

@tehdude15 i hope you realize that 5.00 is not 500, 5.00 is equal to 5

[hamsteryte]

@tehdude15 Retard...

[bobbylockes]

The birds are so used to the sound of gun fire they carry on singing. This must be in america.

[stoopidoooo]

R.I.P. Mr. Watermelon

[mustafayesiler]

wow wtf

[B3NFU1M3R]

I WANT ONE.

[MDAirsoft93]

OMFG. that is powerful LOL

[Foxxie0kun]

Awesome!

If you only need raw power at a range of a couple meters and can put at least one of the five shells in your target, the M500 is a great choice in sidearm.

Personally I'd prefer a Sig Sauer 9mm due to higher capacity and lower recoil inherent in 9mm semi-auto pistols though.

Have you tried at longer ranges to see how well the M500 stacks up in accuracy at a bit longer range than in this vid? I daresay the recoil would be a bitch due to the big bullet and powder charge.

[Nylme7]

Someday, the watermelons will rise up and you will be there to stop them. >:D

[Yumyumtuna]

Only several watermelons were harmed in the making of this video...

[MMBNM]

nice dude really nice if i tried shooting one of those things without knowin how it knock me on my ass

[666smokeskull]

THats one way to make a fruit salad!!

[qklese]

@AmazingKnifeThrower Smith and Wesson 500 magnum is the most powerful handgun in PRODUCTION! You can't compare that to a rifle

[blah1752]

If he was pointing this pistol at your face, would he have your attention?

[blah1752]

@dwebb210 Too bad people don't understand that this is the largest production handgun...

[g1942transient]

That's one way to spread the seeds for a watermelon patch!

[jduran1995]

LOL! I think you'd last quite a while in a zombie apocolypse even though you only have 6 rounds to dispose of at the time.

[dwebb210]

@jduran1995 Because of the incredible power of the 500 magnum, the revolver can only hold 5 rounds.

[DeltaTangent]

I want to loop this video over and over again.

[PeekaPeep]

Okay, I'm convinced. I'm getting one...eventually, lol!

>;-D

[Majik1911]

Holy monkeys... lol



[horspla2000]

@ :30 ........vaporized!

[lisolangka]

watermelon shake? anyone? damn power...nice aiming...:)

[Flyytb]

god bless guns

[stupidmf44]

im gettin a S&W 500 with a 10 inch barrel, its gonna be badass

[hayabusarocks]

why are we talking about melons i see a stump?

[hayabusarocks]

i thought i saw green

[kai199191]

stand 3 feet away from the watermelon and shoot it. lot of fun that way! lol

[tytig94]

Where did it go?

[Amiskone]

"what watermelon, i dont remember seeing one"

[josebainurrieta]

poor watermelon :)

[Marcohazard]

That's why M500 doesn't appears in Mw2 , it's too powerful ! ! !

[Cr4zYH3aD]

What would happen if someone would shot it sideways like in the movies ?

[D347H2]

That is such a sick gun lol <3
