    Yesterday I went to Elk Neck with my brother and two of his coworkers that never shot before. We took the normal line up for beginners, .22LR, 9MM, 5.56, all of which they loved and did very well with. We also took some stuff for ourselves, 12ga, 45acp, and .460 S&W( affectionately named "Thumper"). His two coworkers jumped at the chance to fire those as well! Especially the .460. Needless to say, the .460 stole the show! We all had a fun, safe, time and got two more people into firearms! We took a slow motion video of me firing the .460 and here's what made everyone smile the biggest.

    Sweet Jesus.

    When I scoped my 460 and sighted it in at200 yarms. I was shooting off sandbsgs. On 1 shot I accidentally got the frame under the cylinder gap over the edge of a sandbag and the cylinder flash blew the bag wide open sending sand everywhere.

    Great shot OP. Here's a site where a guy in Finland set up a high speed camera and came out with some fantastic shots which include the actual bullet. A .44 and a .500S&W are represented...

    What great links with photos and descriptions. Thanks for sharing. I like big balls of fire coming out of the end of a barrel. It ranks right up there with quality fireworks.

    OP. It looks like your revolver is completely engulfed in a huge ball of fire. AWESOME photo. I'd be careful with that beard.
