Hi
Can I get the nitro express image tattooed on my back?
500 Nitro? One word, Insane! Sore hands? Oh Lordy, I cannot imagine why 🙂
Awesome video Scott. You and your big guns never cease to amaze me
Maybe try gloves 🤣
When Scott admits the recoil hurts, that's the handgun to definitely avoid
This comment is so underrated
Yeah watching the slowmo and see how the recoil is going thru his arm up to his shoulder,you could tell that this thing is areal Kicker. :O
Underrated
lets not forget that it literally made him bleed shooting one handed lol, that thing is dangerous regardless of wether or not its pointed at you
@@thebard5019i think he absorbed the shock better with one handed, but at the cost of his hand lol. I'd use a sturdy glove, keep a good stance and brace yourself
As a european, I want to thank you for adding a cartgidge to the comparison I'm familiar with: the nerf dart!
Yes being from the uk this was helpful for me as well it’s about as close as we ever get
In sweden we just shoot 6.5 mm in everything. Dears, elks Russians invading finland.

@@matsv201 finally after 20 or so years when studying in Sweden and being show their hunting rifles i get to learn they use 6.6mm. Nice.
Have to admit, I’m not wild about guns but seeing how much respect Scott has for them as well as how he tries to be informative and entertaining has really won me over to him
My friend if you aren't a fan of firearms how On earth did you find this?

Being a single shot it's an excellent beginners pistol. Safe, reliable and easy to control.

It's absurd that the TC Contender has a little lever on the hammer to switch it to rimfire from 500 Nitro .
April 29 of last year (almost a year exactly) this man, correction, this legend posted a video that shook me up and had me moved how tough he is. Literally less than a year later, shooting a 500 nitro express handgun one handed. Comeback player of the year award has already been decided NFL
Has it really been a year since that 50 BMG blew up in his face???? WOW!
true dat
We can all agree that this is gonna be the next fun that almost kills him
Just put a thumb in it
@@wadewilson8011two years now 😱
This man is devoted to own every caliber/ gun that starts with a 500
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
And then the handle went snap
or higher
Especially the .500 oogity-boogity. Illegal in most Star Systems!
He needs to get a 500 Bushwhacker if he hasn't already, it's a 500 S&W except the chambering has been modified to accept specially made rounds that fit the entire length of the cylinder but won't fit in a standard 500. It's actually the most powerful pistol because of the fact that the round are made for short barrels unlike pistols firing rifle rounds, like 4,000+ ft/lbs of energy. Check out this gel testing of it, one round made it through 3 gel blocks and still had power to get through around 4 inches of wood: kzhead.info/sun/e7iDkaeQiKKDrKM/bejne.html
Watching the fluid dynamics of the shockwave traveling through your muscles in slow motion was pretty impressive.
For a man who claims to not bleed, he certainly does a good job of the 'recoil jiggle'. It's actually pretty insane to see how the recoil coursed through the entire side of his body, right to the torso, even down into the stomach area.
For real tho
And he's not 100% healed up.. 🙄
Have you seem the whip of a rifle barrel in slo-mo? Often a part of the guns so called “harmonics”. Minor factors like that can contribute to why a gun might like a particular load over another.
Even shooting 50AE out of a Desert Eagle, you can feel the energy just coursing up your arm into the torso. I can’t imagine what this BFG feels like..
@@TKO593 I want to know if anyone has tried to use those harmonics to make the "best sounding gun" if that even exists
I love this video per usual. Scott handling a cannon like a boss also per usual. That being said as much as he hates the .500 magnum, you should make Matt shoot this 😁
Better yet, have Brandon shoot it. Just have EMS on standby to fix his wrists.
I comment then look and we had the same thought on that lmao
Can't wait for the next reunion of Scott and Matt I am sure he will make him shoot that hand cannon
Same thought here! :D
I came here to make the same comment. The belly aching would be epic.
Man your ability to stay on target, given the incredible flinch factor is legendary!
This guy shoots the most insane firearms. They all look painful. As a Kentucky myself im proud of this channel.
You just KNOW a gun's recoil is ridiculous when even Scott is wrestling with it. Those are some mighty impressive fireballs, too.
I still like the 30 carbine pistol fireball
Yeah. When he fired it the first time my mind went "Nope, don't need to try shooting that".
@@andersjjensen your mind and body are saying nope, but the urge in your heart keeps urging you to try it, who will win in the end?
@@danielm.595 My mind will. I have shot things with unpleasant recoil before. It was fun to be able to say I've done it the first time, but after that it's just a masochistic exercise with no reward.
@@andersjjensen however, if you ever get pissed off by your wrists specifically you know how to remove them
You need to let Matt shoot that so that he can start tolerating his 500 S&W better LOL. I'm impressed that you didn't get hit in the bill of your cap. Shows just how strong you really are.
was going to say the same thing!
Matt seems to play it up a little with ye olde wristbreaker, but this behemoth might have the potential to actually injure him. Let him wear that helmet and strap on some sort of wrist support lol.
@@johnathanmcdoe LMAO!
That’s what I’m saying.
as a fellow country boy loved it but don't think I could shoot it that much, learned my lesson making my own pistol out of a 12 gauge single shot.good video Scott
I have a Thompson Center pistol in 30-06. The recoil is brutal, and yes, I usually end up bleeding a bit too. I can't imagine what that .500 Nitro Express recoil would feel like. I'd shoot it though...maybe only once, but I'd definitely give it a go!
You can actually watch the recoil go from the gun right through your arm and into your body in slow motion when you fired it with one hand. That was wild as hell.
All I can say is...I thought a .44 mag had a kick
It gave him Granny bingo arms for a second there.
In the 2nd or 3rd slow-mo the wave of energy can be seen going from his chest down into the soft tissue around the side of his abdomen.
@@seeharvester definitely a description you need to copyright.
You can actually see the shock from the recoil travel from Scott's hand, through his arm, and down his torso! That's wicked!
High speed video is awesome.
@@SlideSugar how about longterm effect of camping at zhernobyl? I hope those Russians come tell later how it bite them. Digging in the red forest, lallallaa.. Lead is nothing beside that :p But radium in watches could be even more bad. It's sad story when those young women's paint part's whith radium+phosphorus paint, then got it in body, teeth dropped and they died. Man made horror.
scotts a pretty solid dude but his entire body was jiggling from that recoil. Thats a hella lot of power
Slow-mo at 0.25 playback speed is incredible.
I’m astonished at how much freedom can be packed into a gun
You get not only a like, but a comment for that one. Freedom on my free friends!
It's crazy watching the recoil energy travel through your arm and into your torso!
"This is the most recoil i have ever felt in a handgun" I trust Scott, He knows a thing or two about recoil....
Demo Ranch: This is the biggest handgun in the world! Forgotten Weapons: Actually, this is the biggest handgun in the world! Scott: Laughs in 500 Nitro Express
Actually, Ian already surpassed both of them after showing off the Lil' Deuce from the Double Deuce 2 bore rifle video that he made. If this 500 nitro express pistol is a pocket cannon, the Lil' Deuce would be a pocket NUKE.
@@noob-zx4cv Pretty sure that thing just shoots shot out not an actual solid projectile. I’ve made a 4 bore pistol with a similar barrel length before as a fun project and there’s no way it’d have any effective range let alone be able to fire a solid slug. Basically just a giant punt pistol.
Color me deeply impressed with the sacrifices you make for your audience. THANK YOU
I realize the nerf dart was probably there as a joke, but that's actually a good way to give a reference scale to people who aren't as familiar with guns and might not know how large different ammo is. One day Scott will stop getting injured by high-powered break actions, lol
He needs good gloves

A 700 nitro pistol would be scary and i think would be one scott would be nervous to shoot but also one in trex would be insane cuz its already the honey badger of all rounds
I know Mr. Reeder , he only made a few of those on the Contender frame. The big boys like that need to be on the Encore frame, with a muzzle brake ! I have shot one of his 500 Nitro Express Encore rifles and that was a fun ride ! Thanks for the great videos Scott!!
The fact that you can see the sheer force of the round transfer its energy all the way up the muscle of his arm is absolutely astounding. And that’s just the force of the bullet being loosed from its casing. All that force, imparted onto a thumb tip sized bullet. Incredible.
Reading your comment was like poetry. I teared up, bro.
I just finished my time sitting on a jury where the prosecution referred to a .45 ACP as a "hand cannon." Thank you Scott for showing what a REAL HAND CANNON IS. Pissed me off so bad having to hear that.
You can always tell when prosecutors are lying (not that they don't already) when they have to use overly extravagant terms like that
Lmao you actually went.
@@ChiTownGuerrilla pretty sure you have to unless you have a valid reason, that's the case in Canada.
I'd have acquitted on that alone. If they're gonna lie about that, what else were they lying about to put someone in jail?
@@Adam-rs4en It was a very big motivator for us to dig much more into the evidence and there was literally NOTHING that disproved it was self-defense, and a REALLY glaring piece if evidence that showed more than a 50% chance the defendant was acting in self-defense. We acquitted on that

@@tobyrix7082 if you're talking about that Serbu RM50, that's not what I mean. That Serbu is absolutely huge and also features a stock, you can't really carry it around too easily. I am talking about just a pistol/handgun juuust big enough to hold a .50 BMG, but also small enough/light enough so you can hold it with just one hand and not struggle too much because of the weight. Hand Destroyer 5000 lmao
For a pistol in 500 Nitro, it's surprisingly accurate. You have to love that sporting purpose clause.
does not need it. correct bore diameter.
There's a weird phenomenon with big bores. I've had a bunch and they all seem to shoot well. I've had a gang of .458's and they all were very accurate. I had a Ruger tang safety .458 that would literally stack bullets at 100 yards.
Why would it not be accurate? It's a quality pistol that's been gone over by a master gunsmith.
@@gearjammergamer8560 It's not too weird when you consider any machining errors or wear in the rifling is going to be minimized in both scale and effect, and the cartridge itself is going to be more consistent as a percentage of total charge weight... even out of an industrial automated loader.
I think you need to invite Matt out to compare with the 500 Magnum! 🤣
Matt want nothing to do with this I’d bet. Lol
Make that happen ! Or at least let Scott do it by himself. I would love to see that on some vests or some targets that could take some damage
Seen it before-commenting now-love the slow mo on the one handed shot-he's beefier now a days-but still handled it like the beast that he is 👍🤟🙌💪
...that was good explosioning, my favorite was the can lids. Thanks for the post, awesome niftyness.

I think Matt would LOOOOVE this one 🤣 probably felt a disturbance in the fabric of the universe when you fired that first shot
Now that would be a good vid seeing Matt shoot that
AHAHAHAHA
I hope scott makes it happen
Sorry, I don't care about Matt!
@@ianrawlings2546 No one cares
Wow! One handed acuracy like this is Amazing.
Love these videos Scott! Keep bringing the wild, hairy big bore calibers we never get to see!
That thing is beautiful yet a powerful beast. Seeing the slow-mo's is just a delight! Thanks Scott for another wonderful video!
Very few handguns would make flesh jiggle like that! The 500 Magnum is probably the only one that comes close.
People that are familiar with contenders know that they can't even be chambered in normal magnums due to frame stretch. Thats what the encore was designed for but even the custom encore barrel makers won't EVER make a 500 nitro barrel for this platform because the pressure is too high! This gun is insanely dangerous and needs to be destroyed or it is going to stretch out and eventually blow up. Look up Match Grade Machining on KZhead and the Encore they built in a PRC cartridge. They only got a few shots out of it before the frame stretches causing dangerous headspace so they blew it up. Scott isn't a Thompson Center expert but someone needs to tell him that this is a bad idea.
@@rustyshakleford5230 finally someone else who sees this. Even a 444 marlin can cause malfunctions with this platform.
Brings new meaning to the phrase "hand cannon." Very impressive.
The meaning of this is a tad outdated. I would choose this against zombies over Scott's pistol: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfeifer_Zeliska_.600_Nitro_Express_revolver kzhead.info/sun/o9GIoMiSkWN8ZY0/bejne.html Because you might have to shoot a little faster kzhead.info/sun/nJ2HhLqMjp5rq3A/bejne.html
Scott seems like a fun guy to hang out with. Also, all the colors were a blast to watch.
Definitely entertaining Scott. Your videos are always good
The level of marksmanship with that gun is remarkable.
Hmm, let's hope Scott doesn't discover the pistol chambered in .50 BMG

Might be one of the coolest weapons I've ever seen. Always had a thing for wildly impractical had cannons. The sorta thing that'll hurt the user more than their enemy because whatever it's pointing at won't live long enough to feel the pain.
I like TC contenders and enjoyed the clip on the 500 nitro express,I thought my 357 herrett had good recoil but wow that thing is wild,thanks
Farout. Seriously impressed how Scott shoots these cannons. That pistol is stronger than it looks. Made me nervous how small the chamber walls appeared.
I'd never shoot that stupid thing for fun, but I'd do it for the kind of money these youtubers must make. It's GOTTA hurt though. No fun at all. Hell, I even chickened out on getting a .500 S&W magnum and settled for a little old .44 mag. Now THAT I can enjoy shooting.
7:48 If you pause and go frame by frame with the period key you can see the muzzle blast create a ring of fire around the zombie head. Pretty damn awesome.
This was an absolutely hysterical video, thanks! 👍
You are an Absolute Madman!! Love your videos! Great job
Out of all the hand cannons Scott has featured, this 500 Nitro Express _looks_ like it truly packs a punch! That and the ornate craftsmanship is sublime.
Punch? More like a horsekick to the balls
I have to tell you: the more Kentucky Ballistics videos that I watch, the more I like Scott and his channel! And I'm so glad that "smell-o-vision" isn't a thing yet!
Even so, I could imagine the smell of nasty cheese... too many days in my youth spent in a supermarket, tossing out expired product. Yeesh.

I’ve never had a gun or shot one but I come to this channel because I like the entertainment. Keep it up !
That slo-mo camera is the gift that just keeps on giving Clark! Scott, you're gonna run the wildlife off shooting that nasty stuff LOL!! This has to be your best video ever. I hope there's a company out there that seriously regrets NOT sponsoring this video.
Hey can you please do a heckler and Koch p30l against ballistic dummy I want to see what John wicks gun will do to a dummy
Scott's marksmanship is unbelievable! 😵💫
I love it! This video decends into some beautiful chaos
First and foremost, the slo-mo footage was very very impressive. Also what a beautiful pistol, well hand cannon… 🔫 And YES I was entertained! 🤩 😮
Gary Reeder is a pretty well known pistol smith and he sure did a nice job on that thing didn't he?
great slomo indeed. you could follow the ripples over his body from the hand to the belly. that gun kicks hard.
Hey Scott you're the only other person I know that's crazy enough to try the 4" .500 S&W Magnum one handed with wood grips and 700 grain underwood ammo... I did and got 1/2 inch tear on the webbing of my hand 🤕
I watched funny shoot a 500 magnum he said I don't want any more of that that was enough for me I'll take his advice
@@ouiroc the 4-in makes a big difference because it's so light, with 700 grain ammo it definitely stings even with the stock cushion grips.
"it's a pretty stupid concept...but I'd like to buy it." I relate to this quote more than you could imagine
Very Fun and Entertaining,Thanks put a smile on my face
It was just crazy seeing the transfer of energy from the recoil traveling down your arm when replayed in slow motion.
Worst recoil I've ever dealt with was a S&W 340. That's the scandium frame hammerless .357. a full house .357 that weighs less than a 38 airweight. Fired five rounds and thought a bomb was going off in my hands each time I fired it.
i love my 340, shoot it all the time. its extremely loud but recoil isnt bad imo
Recoil is subjective after all... for guys with little girl wrists like me a 340 is a nightmare 😂✊😂. Glock 19s feel a bit snappy... it’s sad but true.
Those 340's with full 357 loads are like holding a handful of bumblebees.
@@rslover65 it stings for sure.
You handle that 500 like a Boss. I own a contender and love it, but would never have imagined that big monster caliber on that platform.
This is the best video I ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂I like that you have sense of humor❤thanks for great video
Make Matt from Demo ranch shoot the 500 nitro
This guy is amazing. He goes to his range to shoot (guns and videos) and basically have mindless fun. Every video is almost the same, with the same catchphrases and targets. Yet it's always so entertaining, because he has SO MUCH FUN, it's addictive. I love this simple content, keep it up and never change, Scott!
Always entertaining. I can’t believe you shot that one handed.

That recoil going down your arm into your chest was impressive.

i am watching u from Egypt, and u r the best man show I have ever seen. Plus, i like your choices for the guns keep going.
You actually make the recoil look not all that bad. I'm sure it is absolutely insane though. You handle recoil from both rifles and pistols better than anyone I have ever seen.
