Really interesting video showing recoil with 38 Special & 500 S&W handguns
About the 1 minute 40 second mark begins the slow motion.
The wave down the shooters arm, beginning with wrist compression and snap, is instructive.

The comparison was indeed not up to snuff! You should have used +P loads in the comparison test for recoil on the arms. Now lets not forget to inform those viewers that the 500 magnum does in fact have a porting job on this pistol and if a person would ever fire that pistol without ear-protection, they could have bursted ear drums or lose their hearing. You sir must have very strong hands and arms! The recoil I saw from several others in the last year or so, produced much more recoil and one fellow hit himself in the cheek with the Smith & Wesson 500 magnum he was shooting.

Not to mention the fact that his "maximum" load in the .500 used a 350 grain bullet, which is a light bullet in the half-inch cartridges.
