DCMJ Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That was a good sequence. I think creating the "human analogue" hand was as interesting as proving/disproving the myth itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XDm525Forty Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) They don't ever mention what caliber the revolver they tested is (that I noticed), but I'm guessing it's a .460 or .500 S&W? Edited June 9, 2013 by XDm525Forty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I know the myth is true Last year a guy at our range had a 460 or 500 smith, he let some else shoot it, the gun jammed with the hammer back. for some reason, he grabs the gun from the guy with his hand covering the barrel cylinder gap, and it goes off He didn't lose any fingers, but it blew a gash at least 1/4" wide, across the entire palm and about as deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Saw a fellow use the canvas top on his jeep to steady his hand and slit open the canvas from his revolver’s gap side blast. I don’t recall the caliber, but it was a magnum (.357/.41/.44) and he wasn’t happy. The chicken bone hand emulator was pretty cool. I’m not sure that Mythbusters is always real science but I do enjoy watching it and think it would be a kick to be part of their crew, they look like they are having a blast!

kevin c Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I shot my 629 with a full magnum load over a Dillon ammo bag as a rest. Cut into the fabric and chewed up the plastic zipper on one side with just one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I shot my 629 with a full magnum load over a Dillon ammo bag as a rest. Cut into the fabric and chewed up the plastic zipper on one side with just one shot. I feel so much better that I'm not the only one to do exactly this!

Griz Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 A Bianchi Cup Open revolver with a big gap leaves a nice tattoo on the inside of your forearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The silhouette revolver shooters put canvas on their jeans when shooting creedmore. They load hot and lots of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yep- that's called a blast shield. One shot without one will train you. Mine is made of an 18 wheeler mud flap. It works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
