.500 S＆W Magnum (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
.500 S&W Magnum (also known as .500 Magnum, more rarely 12.7x41mm SR) is a pistol cartridge designed and introduced in 2003 as a joint effort between firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson and ammunition manufacturer Cor-Bon. The cartridge was developed for Smith & Wesson's then new X-frame revolver line, most notably the Model 500. The purpose of this cartridge is to be a big game hunting cartridge that would be suitable for hunting any game species in North America. In parallel, it was also designed to be the most powerful production handgun cartridge in the world (in terms of muzzle energy).
.500 Magnum develops a tremendously high amount of energy at the muzzle of a revolver, being able to push a 400 grain projectile at well over 1750 ft/s (~533 m/s) out of a 8.75 inch barrel, thus developing muzzle energy approaching 3700 Joule (~2730 foot-pounds force). Such performance is in fact greater than many rifles, at the cost of also developing extreme recoil.
