I saw on mythbusters, where a revolver can absolutely cut off a finger from the gases escaping between the wheel and the barrel.
i think they were sayin a 460 and the 500's ..large hunting caliber revolver pistols

I love Christmas lights. They remind me of the people who voted for Obama. They all hang together; half of them don't work, and the ones that do, aren't that bright.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do
not understand, no explanation is possible.
A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
When I gook a handgun safety course about 10yrs ago, during the live fire portion, the instructor pointed out the danger of the B/C (Barrel/Cylinder) gap by strapping a raw bone-in chicken breast to the side of a .44mag revolver and firing a round...
The escaping gases cut the chicken pretty severely... I have NO doubt that the damage could fully sever a guy's finger...
If anyone doubts this, they should try it and post a picture of their hand. Just think about it, there is enough gas to propel a bullet from 0 to 1000+ fps in only a few inches, while leaking out from the cylinder gap at the same time.

If some one is stupid enough to put their finger in front of the cylinder of a revolver then they deserve to get their finger cut off. They shouldn't need mythbusters to confirm this.
