    i think when people say the explosions wont work in a vaccuum they forget that the explosives have all the chemical components required for the explosion in them.

      Well, that becomes obvious when the gun fires. Interestingly for me, it probably means that guns will go off underwater, which I had previously thought was impossible. After this, and thinking about it, it falls into the category of Sybil Fawlty's specialist subject, *the bleeding obvious.* When a firing pin hits the cartridge, there's no way oxygen could get in; there's a metal shell all around and behind the explosive matter with a shell in front of it; how would oxygen get in there?

    "A bulletproof material would be expected to stop any handgun" - No, lol. A bullet proof material is rated for what it can stop (as in, caliber), and can be expected to stop that caliber up to the specified amount of approximate shots. Also... Not sure what 40 cal you're referring to, but if it's a 45 ACP it's almost definitely gonna be moving slowed then a 9mm.

    @38:08 or 38:9 he realises.
    This take should have been reshot, or edited out.
    Not safe firearms handling.
    Not demonstrating how responsible adults use handguns.
    Despite the frame locked open that should confirm there is probably not a live round still in the chamber after the slide blew back and probably ejected a spent round.
    Range safety is about good practice always making no assumptions at all times, not about a general principle that you should do most of the time. It’s not an accident if nobody gets hurt ?
    It’s an accident when the fundamental principles are broken once, so that we learn from the accident that had no major consequences, and don’t have another sim😢accident that has catastrophic consequences.
    Those safety principles at gun ranges should be just as critical to scientists who want to teach science and entertain children.
    Don’t say “ no big issue “ because if he does it again in another situation in the future and someone dies, this video will go viral.
    Why is Alec Baldwin in so much trouble?
    Range safety was not a high enough priority.
    When Alec was advised what he was doing was unsafe, he ignored the younger woman.

    We are all learning, we learn from good instructions, demonstrations, and learning from our mistakes.

    Solid rockets are not usually used in space which is why people might think they don't work. They work just fine in space, however they have fairly poor thrust to weight ratio's and are difficult to make controllable. That's why most rockets use them as boosters to overcome drag. At launch their additional weight doesn't matter as much as they will be discarded halfway through and the fact that they aren't controllable isn't a big deal cause you just need a lot of brute force to overcome drag at low altitude. The upside is that they are fairly cheap, reliable and scale up really well. Liquid fuel get's tricky at large scales with large cryogenic tanks and a lot of complicated pumps and plumbing.

    • @mammaletsplay5295
      @mammaletsplay5295 3 месяца назад

      The ISP for a solid rocket motor is around 300. Liquid fuels get over 400. Yes, that's 1/3 more which ist significant. The Thrust for a SRM is the burning surface times the exit velocity (why its hard to pin a number to it). Which means that the thrust is really high. a LFR has a max chamberpressure which is way lower why the thrust is lower. For the escape of the gravity well its just way more efficient to use SRM. You would have to use many more nozzles with an LFR which lowers its ISP because you have to drag more weight on the ride and require more fuel to achieve the same thrust.
      Let`s talk about Saturn 5 for the controlablity thing, if i remember correctly each booster produces around 90.000 kN of thrust. If one booster is misalignemt by 1% thats a sidewards force of 90 kN for the entire time the booster is firing, that can alter your flight path.
      Some SRMs use flaps outside or gimble the nozzle to produce steering.
      that SRM are cheap and easy to manifacture is another factor why they are chosen often times. They are just dirty af. another down side: once lit they are going till there is nothing more left, control is almost impossible.

    If you know how a tape measure works shooting at dead center, probably any ammo will go right through it as it's probably just a piece of plastic in the center.

      Probably because when they bent the barrel they compromised the barrel itself. The internal diameter was likely damaged and it was smaller. It would have sausaged the lead round and then it would have lost rifling and tumbled.
      If they could have bent with a sizing rod inside in theory maybe it could have worked.

      Most cheap .22 rounds would likely have that sort of spread anyway. Only firing 1 shot each wasnt very scientific, then again, they never are on this show. A better test would have been use target grade ammo, which is more consistent. Also, slower. So many different calibres and bullet combos, and they are basing it off just a .22.

      @@stephencooper9753 Exactly this, it's within the outer range of variance for a lot of .22 lr ammo for velocity. What probably would be a bigger problem for this hand bent gun would be performance at greater distance, they probably messed up the twist rate along the bore by bending it like that, it will be variable twist (and not progressive, something increasing then decreasing) and with a soft bullet probably some rather uneven deformation. Very inaccurate. (Oh, and EDIT, unpaused and they mentioned that it was tumbling already) But, I suppose they're testing bending a barrel right back at the guy who is pointing the gun at them in this Myth so. Also, totally agree with you about the general "problem" with Mythbusters, they never take variance into account. I seem to recall some "toast always lands butter side down" and doing like two flips and expected a 1:1 result, which is such a failure of thinking about probabilities. But it's entertaining, and I think still kind of educational in a way that it stimulates the idea of experimenting (even if they're not doing it rigourosly).

    Bent gun. Bent in the backyard with uneven fold and all. But the exit speed is not the only thing that makes something deadly. First is that Balistic jell or just jellow?? The fact off tumbleling shoud stop a .22 round at max 12" and if distences will up, penatration goes down enormuslyin normal cases (straigt shooting) a .22". Remember a .22 is more likely to anger a badguy, then stop him.
    Bulletproff Wallet. Again, has this show fallen too sope-opra levels?? Not a singel coin in any of the wallets. The myth is from when all people had change in their wallet and todays wallets comes with steel mesh and inserts to make them Wifi and bullet proff. Just go look at any card wallet today, if not a "china barnd" it is most likely a steel casing.
    Gun in space. Answer without the testing. YES it can. Burning Blackpowder is self oxynating. It makes its own Oxygin on a cemical level, when lit. Gunpowder cemical formula. 10KNO3 + 3S + 8C → 2K2CO3 +3K2SO4 + 6CO2 + 5N2 => all the O's are oxygen bound in the componets, so it is self supplying on oxygen.

The equation is E=(1/2)*m*v^2 , here E is energy, m is mass of the bullet and v is velocity. So as energy is proportional to the square of the speed. loss of energy should be approx. 13.5%, not 7%.

    1. Was the assassin shooting a heavy subsonic projectile ?
    2. Did the bulletin ricochet because it did not hit centre ?
    If yes to above two possibilities, the bullet did not hit its target because:
    1. It was not aimed at the intended target and missed
    2. The bullet hit some part of the ball, and it changed direction enough to not hit the gangster.
    Not rocket science.
    Sorry mythbusters.
    Why shoot a moving golf ball in a test simulation ?
    Why not set 3 separate tests, ball in position then hit it centre, off centre and just clip the edge.
    Why not shoot at it from 40 or 60 yards ( like the assassin was in distance) low velocity sub sonic hollow point.

    Something I learned in a gun safety course, was that any misfire (such as a bang stick denting a primer), you wait 60 seconds (used to be 30 seconds) before the shell/cartridge is safe to handle. Delayed misfires happen....and there's one caught on video where the shot goes through the guy's baseball hat visor as he's just about to look down the barrel (something else you never do). Luckily his hat is all that flew off. Misfires in this video were super casual to say the least.
    I know it's got "don't try this at home" everywhere in this video, but a bang-stick is far too easy for teenagers to try.

If you were to take an x-ray of the coiled gauge, you would see that there is a blank space in the center, whereas the coiled gauge strip is from about 1/3 of the center to the edges. So the 22 LR and the 9mm both hit that coiled steel hardened strip, the 40 went through the center and thus ONLY penetrated the gauge jacket twice.

    Would have loved if they explained why the gun fired in a vacuum. It's simple, really, and the same reason why a gun can fire under water. The cartidge is a sealed system, the primer, case and bullet form an air tight package. Now that would prevent any form of fire if the case didn't have air in it.

    And additionally, propellants have their own oxidizing properties, meaning that they can provide their own oxygen to burn.

Would I purchase again? Yes if its for jut a plinker. Bit not for a serious service rifle.

Do they think that a pistol bullet would turn around mid flight and and hit someone or something?
