Some dude made a 50BMG upper for his 1911.

Holy crap! I'm glad I would never try something like that. Also glad he wore a helmet

The 500 S&W is more than enough recoil for me. No need to build a 50BMG pistol. But at least now we know it can be done. I bet he never posts the accuracy results for a 5 shot group.

I bet it never reaches five round total until it's 9th owner...

 

[Hey]

F-that

Get whacked in the helmet every shot. 💀

While I admire the skill and engineering that went into this, I think it makes the statement that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
On the other hand, the only way to make it funnier is to actually put sights on it. The velocity has to be straight garbage.
I think that is is the exact opposite of the wellrod, while still being a bolt action pistol.

At least its threaded so you can run your silencer on it.

I would shoot it without the helmet IF the slide has a huge soft ‘bumper’ installed on the front.

All you have to do is install a heavy duty anchor point in the concrete and run a chain up to it to limit vertical travel...

I’m impressed - no flinch

Reminds me of my first time. I was alone too...made the same sounds...but no cameras.

YT suggested that video to me last night and I could not remember where I saw this thread. I LOL. Too much adrenaline watching it.

Too funny. I'm glad he thought ahead and used the helmet.
