No bacon,

Eight shots from that S&W pistol probably ruined a couple hundred pounds of meat. btw, look at the brush and undergrowth behind them in the picture. Tough place to be messing with a grouchy hog.

My biggest was around 300. I've seen a 700. Thought that was a big hog.
This is certainly a recent gen from a farm release/escape. |

WTF is a .50-caliber revolver?

Probably .50 Linebaugh. Like a slower, lower-pressure edition of the .454 Casull cartridge. There have been several really wide bore hunting-revolver cartridges invented recently, like the .460 and .475. They generally fall into the category of medium-velocity/very heavy bullet handgun round, for knocking down big heavy critters like this one, including big heavy critters with big sharp teeth.
The revolvers that chamber these cartridges are typically five-shooters, to maximize chamber wall thickness. That is a LOT of hog there. No wonder they backed the kid up with two rifle-bearing pro hunters. Buster, you were thinking of the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun). If you're not firing that out of an eighty-four-pound M2 .50-cal, plus its 44-lb tripod, it takes a twenty-some-pound Barrett rifle to shoot that. With a very efficient muzzle brake and a springloaded recoil absorber in the action. I'm told with the brake the report is extremely loud, but that the recoil sensation is more of a heavy shove than a punch.

As in, maybe black powder? Not the 50cal military round?

Ok. I see I'm a few years behind on handguns.

Excellent video! Thanks!
Jamison, the 11yo that shot the hog, used a gun like this. It has recoil compensation so that it doesn't jump like the guns in the video. He also used 350 grain bullets, but no other info available about the loads. He's one tough boy to control a hand cannon. I wonder if it would have taken 8 shots for a grown man familiar with that gun???
