RUclips recommending me yesterday the channel. I'm excited to watch the old episodes. Never got to see many of the episodes after their "Behind The Myths" tour
31:51: One of the best Grant quotes in the show's history. And Herb's reply of, "it'll toast your waffles to almost 3000 degrees" ain't too shabby, either. 😆
You know. The number of times they're "I can't see where the bullet went" when they're shooting into ballistics material, I'm surprised they didn't get an x-ray machine to x-ray these heads. That would have been awesome.
Regarding the hammer exploding - they tested solid hit once or twice. While the old, used hammers were already pushed to the extreme point, one or two hits would not likely shatter them. They should have built a machine that repeatedly swings a hammer against the anvil and set for example 100 hits. They would increase the chances of seeing actual hammer explosion.
The hammer myth makes no sense to me. A hammer is EXPLICITLY made to transfer energy into (usually) hard objects. Newton's third law states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction, so the hammer MUST be able to handle the amount of force it's putting into the object is hitting. To say that two of them hitting each other would somehow cause them to explode makes no sense. The only way it could work is if the hammer was in a state of disrepair so great that it could no longer be used for it's intended purpose. It's like being afraid that two fencers in a duel could cause an explosion if their swords hit each other too hard- one, it won't happen because swords are designed to not do that, they will dull and dent long before that would happen, and two, if it did happen, that's an issue with the state of the swords, and in that state they wouldn't be using them in the first place.
they want to prove that the myth could be plausible and then intentionally use over pressured ammo that no hunter would ever load their shotgun with....
Alw3ays hat a problem with the Trombone myth. It´s not about the force that hits the conductor... if a metal object hits you in the face you automatically stumble backwards. There is not that much force needed.
I get wanting to avoid rabid fan backlash, but calling Plausible on the bore sighter barrel split is a bit dubious to me. We've seen all over Mythbusters that if a small piece of a compressed chamber fails, it can entirely defuse the rest of it as the compressed gas escapes out of the split. In order to have that 100% banana split, it would need to be such a huge amount of pressure that it would probably have to explode the rest of the gun too. Much more likely that a split like shown could have a 90-degree bend or something at the end of the barrel and the rest stays intact. The originals are definitely still faked.
@@evespirit I'm sorry, are you new to this channel? Discussing in retrospect what the Mythbusters did well or not is half the fun of these uploads. Go post that under someone asking them to revisit a myth as if the show was still ongoing.
@@grejsancoprative Sure thing. "Seeming likely to be true or believable." In this instance, the question isn't "Can part of the barrel fail if blocked?", it's "Is it plausible that a blocked barrel will cause the entire thing to split into multiple parts like a banana?" No, this is not plausible, because the most extreme result they got was a single piece splitting in a way that allowed the pressure to escape. There is no reason to believe that there's enough catastrophic pressure from a single shot to split any more than that. And besides, the pictures they were shown looked like clean metal was exposed between the strips, completely unlike experimental data.
I think part of the issue is the next step would be to test really poorly maintained guns and that insurance just wouldn't let them test those conditions. Barrel splits definitely do happen and your not wrong with a properly maintained gun it would be a ton of force; people can be really dumb with what they will try to shoot though, myself as a kid included i tried to shoot an antique shotgun and the barrel couldn't hold up. I think the original pic from the myth is fake unless someone happened to clean it up; other pics i have seen of split barrels that looked right not as sure.
22:10 Well that's just not true at all... In fact if you talk to anyone in vehicle maintenance in Vietnam they'll tell you that the ammunition the Vietnamese were using was really trashy surplus Soviet ammo and would often break up as soon as it hit anything even mildly hard which is why there were so many "I was shot but my lighter/bible/cross necklace/watch/yada yada yada stopped the bullet" stories from Vietnam.
I know that nobody related to Mythbusters is probably watching this channel’s comments (or the channel would certainly be taken down by now) but the most damning thing about the trombone mute myth is that the trombones don’t use a mute during the 1812 Overture. Beyond that, there is so much air space around the mute and the bell of the trombone (to allow the sounds/air to come out of the instrument) that there is no way an explosion would send the entire mute flying forward with any real speed.
I still can't get over how badly MythBusters fumbled the scope myth, when fat electrician was able to get it right in 1 go with a fraction of the budget if you don't believe it you can got watch his video on white feature, or on pew view, who is the one that took the shot
The sniper would absolutely be dead, bleeding out from massive head trauma and glass and metal fragments in his brain from his eye cavity. Even with a miss it would cause a serious concussion and make him ineffective.
480p? Like, really?? (Edit:I see some guys say that it was recorded in lower resolution or something to similar effect, but they are wrong. Pretty much every other season 4 episode on this channel is in 1080p).
Tory hitting himself in the head with the spinning metal arm, in an extremely Tory manner, is every bit the episode highlight.

I can't believe some of the things RUclips has on here for free. I really do think it's a great educational tool.

Only now I notice Adam's shirt in the Trombone retest has the famous quote of the show: "I object your reality and substitute my own"
23:08
"First

factories
USSR
In Tula
1928"
A trombonist would be blowing into through the mouth peice......adding pressure
The narrator had fun on this one lol
"Hold it hold it hold it... ! At this point there are so many one liners my brains about to explode!"
You know. The number of times they're "I can't see where the bullet went" when they're shooting into ballistics material, I'm surprised they didn't get an x-ray machine to x-ray these heads. That would have been awesome.
OK. I suggest that you supply them one.
Your move.
@@SusanPearce_H do you believe that Discovery would be unable to supply access to one?
@@SusanPearce_Hyou‘re aware they aren’t doing the show anymore, right?
Grateful for a different video 😊

Why?
Why would the magic number be 150,000 + 10?

There must have been more missed shots from Jamie for Adam to be that cranky.

They could have never done this myth. But guess viewers wanted them to test cartoon physics

9:06 the firearm expert's body language and voice as almost visibly winces at Tory's mistake lol 😅
A slug is a bullet.

well we tried hitting a hammer 10 times and it didn't explode. it must be impossible.

Lol. That banana peel barrel one was so completely, and obviously, busted. They just wanted to shut people up.
What happened? Why did they just start reposting already uploaded videos?
It's episode 6th from season 5th, year 2007. Whoevever uploads it, thanks, but pay attention to the details.
why is this the same as Season 5 Episode 7?
Yeah but If you order a hammer from Temu, without hitting with it, it will explode in hand. They didn't have today's stuff.
Uploaded 10 seconds ago and no views this channel has fallen off 😂😂😂
I think the worst episode was that one with the Moon landing. That episode is terrible. I can't believe they pretend that to be science.

It's almost like it was filmed before HD was a thing 😂🤣
Bro it's free , go buy it then
Pure flatscreener
@Khaos768 Yes, 480p, so what???
@@laurencepetervonstudzinski7507 if you can buy these I'm shocked this channel hasn't gotten DMCA yet
Mix of old episode's.
