Why on earth do guns this powerful and expensive exist? I am a person completely against revolvers, yes, but that's not the point. The Desert Eagle falls into this category too. Who on earth buys the world's most powerful handgun? Is it just an expensive way for men to increase their masculinity? Realistically, you buy a gun for defense, or if you're in the military. No ordinary civilian will ever buy this, it's too expensive, large and overpowered. As for the military, both the gun itself and the ammunition are far too expensive, and it can't mount a suppressor or weapon light. And why oh why do Treyarch keep putting the Deagle in CoD? No realistic military will ever use one of these, and while I understand CoD doesn't keep realism very high on the priority list, it should at least understand that military sidearms these days are all 9mm semi-automatics, that are suppressor adaptable, and not freaking hand cannons. Why do gun makers constantly try and outdo each other in this stupid, expensive, impractical game? Can someone give me one good reason why guns like this exist, please? Alasdair. | |||

Additional Variants
.500 S&W Magnum
Is the Bullet specificly made the this Gun and how much bigger is it compared to say the .357 Magnum.
Basically a .357 mag is pushing a 158gr to a 180gr bullet...but the .500 S&W push anything from a 300gr to a 500gr bullet, and someone is even making a 702gr bullet for it...just crazy big but not as good ballistically as a .460 S&W.--Spades of Columbia 17:03, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
The Punisher
When did Tom Jane use it? I know Ray Stevenson did in War Zone, but I don't remember it in the first one. -SasquatchJim.
He provided the voice in the videogame. That's the only time he "used" it. Mercer 16:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, got it. -SJ
Question
They say the S&W 500 is for hunters who need something powerful enough as a backup weapon in a real emergency... but what kind of emergency would a hunter use the S&W 500 for? --ThatoneguyJosh 13:18, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
In the event that your out bow hunting and a bear happens upon you through the thicket. My source? Personal experience. Some would call it overkill, but when a bear attack is a reality and a good possibility in the neck of the woods your hunting in, you want the biggest self defense weapon your money can buy. - Mikey
- A bear or any predator charging at you when you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.--Mpe2010 14:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
As Michael Bane has said about other guns, "it's perfect for when the velociraptors come right through your front window." -SasquatchJim.
So... in Michael Bane's mindset, we are now hunting dinosaurs when we use the S&W 500? --ThatoneguyJosh 07:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Well, to be fair, he was talking about a Howdah pistol when he said the dinosaur line. But, the S&W seems like it would fit the bill for a sidearm as well. -SJ
Missing links
Your missing Machete, Transporter 3, and lock n' load with R. Lee Ermy.
- Well, why can't YOU put them in? --Jackbel 08:35, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
