Talk:Smith & Wesson Model 500

.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)

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)

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
