Introducing the S&W .500blackout

[Codyology]

Just been playing around wanting to make something different. Idea came about in a conversation of what ifs. Friends sitting around talking about if they could make something new and what would it be. Yes completely useless but would be fun. Had some nickel brass that used large pistol primers and want to keep everything large rifle primers.

Now what are some of y'alls what ifs.

Effective range, four inches.

 

[Hayata]

Would make a very effective indirect fire weapon, me thinks...

Sure wouldn't volunteer to stand in front of it, though.

Beautiful... I'll take a box of 50!!!

 

[fz1boxer]

back in the 80's i think it was jdj that loaded something along those line

 

[fz1boxer]

yep they have several whisper's listed

 

[Trailrider]

I say test it out and post the video.

With a fast enough of a twist it would be awesome, but the 510 whisper(50bmg projectile) already exists.

750 gr (49 g) AMax 1,050 ft/s (320 m/s) 1,837 ft·lbf (2,491 J)

Wonder what the heaviest load a SW500 Handi rifle can take while going subsonic? granted the suppressor unless form1'd would be hugely overbuilt.

I like the looks of the 510 Whisper. I wonder how the 500 S&W would be with a heavy bullet from a TC!
