Man lets pistol get away (video)

[ShunZu]

Simply amazing how lucky this guy was (and what an idiot, too).

Also a good vid to watch if you're considering getting that S&W 500.

Warning: The F word is in this video. Parental discretion advised.

that's the oldest video ever.

That's not a S&W 500 ... it is a .600 Nitro. Two very different things.

And yes, this video is years old.

a) don't hold the pistol with your left hand forward of the grip.
b) use a firmer grip and stance

and yes, that's a very old video, but I'm sure there will be one or two who haven't seen it and safety is best taught with repetition.

far from the S&W .500, which kicks substancially less-even in the short barreled version.

The gun is a Thompson Contender firing a .600 Nitro Express


nearly 2000fps with a muzzle energy of around 7500 ft/lbs


very good video!

 

[ShunZu]

600, sorry.

Apologies, just stumbled across it myself. So, it kinda was NEW to me.

Been under a rock writing, ya know.

 

[LTB15J]

no, dont feel bad

not everyone has seen every video ever put up.

not everyone has seen every video ever put up.

I have. I dont mind re-seeing them, i just hate when they make a lap around the internet and when i seem them again the facts are completely wrong. Like this being a .50bmg or a 700 nitro express or the worlds first nucular powered .22.

What are the facts?

What are the facts?

(A) the shooter is just a big sissy?

(B) some calibers are so powerful they get away from ya?

(C) He shoulda sandbagged the barrel!

Let me guess; it's the one with the heavyset guy shooting the Contender that goes flying out of his hands.
