True to its real-life reputation, '''.500 S&amp;W''' in Mazeworld is, since its introduction, the '''most powerful handgun caliber''' of the game. Developing immense amounts of power, it is the ultimate offensive handgun cartridge, which can kill or severely cripple most non- or lightly armored targets. Though the performance drop can be felt abruptly between Kevlar-3 and Kevlar-4, this caliber remains a serious threat even for higher ACs.

The .500 S&W (also known as .500 S&W Magnum) is a very large revolver caliber developed by Smith & Wesson and Cor-Bon. It is considered a top-tier caliber and is the best handgun cartridge of the game.

Real-life data

Smith & Wesson, which developed the legendary .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum calibers, had always been in the spotlight in firearms and ammunition development. But since the .454 Casull's introduction, a magnum variant of the .45 Colt, .44 Magnum had been eclipsed as the most powerful revolver cartridge in the world…

…That is, until 2003. Smith & Wesson presented at the SHOT trade show their latest invention in revolver cartridges: the .500 S&W Magnum (or just .500 S&W), intended as a handgun, hunting cartridge capable of taking down all North American kinds of game, but especially developed for one purpose: being the most powerful revolver cartridge in the world.

Since the undeniable success of the .44 Magnum and Smith & Wesson's famous Model 29 revolver, due in no small part to the success of famous movie Dirty Harry, S&W had sought to reclaim the title of being the firearms manufacturer that produced the most powerful revolver in the world - and they succeeded. Designed from the outset to fulfill this objective, the caliber develops, depending on bullet type, between 3400 and an astounding 4100 Joule of muzzle energy; such power was never seen before in revolver cartridges.
