S&W 500 magnum slow motion (cylinder gap)

S&W 500 Magnum ultra slow motion. It is my understanding that this was filmed by S&W during an investigation into accidental doubletaps. This 20 second clip was originally the first two seconds of a 30 second clip that I cropped and slowed down to show the cylinder gap flash.

The "accidental double tap" was from inexperienced shooters firing this monster and then when it was making a b line towards their face they caught it and squeezed the trigger with their "oh shit death grip."

@Mchermsquatch You don't know what you are talking about. Watch the video of the girl that experienced it. It happens MUCH faster than a person can do with intent or thought. S&W recognized the issue and made adjustments to the design once they acknowledged the issue was real.

@dwebb210

So what you're saying is that the shooter fired the pistol, then without squeezing the trigger a second time, the double action hammer cocked itself back and fired again...

You are a dipstick.

[dwebb210]

@Mchermsquatch - Seriously, you still don't get it??? The person squeezing the trigger doesn't have time to stop squeezing. The gun literally runs away from, and outruns the trigger finger. By the time the palm of the hand slows the recoil, the trigger has reset. The finger, still trying to squeeze off the first shot, is now pulling the trigger on the second shot. It happens so fast the shooter doesn't even know what is happening. Do I need to draw you a picture?

[Mchermsquatch]

@dwebb210 If the shooter never releases the trigger then it is impossible for the trigger to reset. When the trigger is fully compressed the sear is all the way forward and clear of the catch on the hammer, the hammer WILL NOT lock itself to the rear on its own, only by manually cocking the hammer or releasing the trigger to reengage the sear. Not only have you shown your inexperience with firearms you have displayed a complete lack of logical thought. Read the S&W report.

[dwebb210]

@Mchermsquatch The shooter isn't actively releasing the trigger. The recoil causes the gun to run away from the trigger finger faster than the finger can keep up. The trigger does reset. The next shot is double action. The video clearly shows how this is potentially possible. The reason for the video was S&W's investigation into numerous reports of this happening. It is EXACTLY the same physics involved in bump-firing a rifle, but I wouldn't expect an uneducated dolt like you to understand.

it was so slow you cant see the gun lift up

@Mchermsquatch Think of bump firing, that's what happens with this very high recoiling gun, the trigger will reset during recoil, then the finger (Which is still rigid from the first shot) fires it again

@dwebb210 I love it when people get busted for talking out of their asses. Thank you.

@dwebb210 Handloads, recoil setting off primer?

I liked the part when the cat jumped of the roof.

[shock312]

just market it as a 2 shot burst pistol... CA legal!

haha

[Darkman2023]

@PowerTheQwerty Basically what's happening is the gun is going backwards faster than your finger does, causing the trigger to reset. Unfortunately, the finger is still going backwards when the palm catches the gun, causing the gun to go forward, forcing the trigger back.

@dwebb210 ive read your argument....i still have no clue what the hell is going on..

Thanks for the vid dwebb. I know you're right, hammer bounce is not uncommon, especially in hard recoiling revolvers. I've never had a cylinder turn, or get a double fire, but I've had double hits on one primer many times.
