@@PointlessDrummer Agreed the bullet would not have reached it's apex yet meaning it would still be lethal enough. If the same parachutist were to be hit after the bullet reached it's apex and starting falling he would be fine and depending on how soon he got hit after it fell it may not have even reached it's terminal velocity yet so it might be even slower.

@@PlittHD It's not about speed, it's about being sure nothing was missed, and detectors won't be fooled or waste time with all those visual false positives they were getting.
We thought back then it was tongue in cheek there but I think I remember from her "autobiography" that she did something similar along similar ends, somebody help me out here.
bullet fired straight up, i knew from start it's not lethal, those cases the doctor showed, were fired at and angle. it was hard to tell from that x-ray, but it looked like 60 degree angle or something like that. it's exactly what they said, it was fired under angle. i saw some people shooting fireworks pistol into air during new year's eve and they shot it under angle aswell. they thought they aimed 90 degrees, but it was closeer to 60-70 degrees.
Surely the only way to shoot the bullet straight up and have it come straight back down - you would you need to be inside a very tall building as that's the only way to eliminate wind at the top of the bullets trajectory which would push the bullet into a parabolic arc 🤔
It doesn't matter, it's dangerous when it's not fired straight up because there is very little X axis (side to side) deceleration, whereas on the Y axis (up and down) there is gravity that will completely strip the speed of the bullet before it's on the way down and therefore *falling* at terminal velocity. With wind the speed it can add is too negligible to have an impact, at least compared to the horizontal speed of a bullet *fired* in a ballistic arc which would be v*cos( angle to the ground). The 2 examples given are dogshit because a bullet that landed a mile away clearly traveled a long distance and not at terminal velocity.
Also wind is not a constant acceleration unlike gravity, so even if an object spend hours in the wind it will not gather more speed. So in winds of 30 m/s, which is hurricane level, the highest horizontal speed a bullet fired straight up can possibly get from the wind is 30 m/s
Take in consideration that this is just shooting bullets at 90°, straight up. If you shoot at an arms length, you'll be firing at 45° and your bullet will kill the poor soul at the receiving end. Also: you can determine trajectories of a bullet based on a few data, so you are going to get caught.
So....since they busted the myth about falling bullets being able to kill a person shouldn't the case with the guy who supposedly got killed by a falling bullet be reopened and investigated...?? 🤨 He clearly didn't get killed by a falling bullet.
Nothing they found contradicted the International Expert. It was shooting straight up into the air (Myth Busters) vs. shooting at an angle which conserved the spin and thus having the bullet still be on a ballistic trajectory.
You tested bullets fied straight up and falling straight down while losing spin - angled trajectory bullets just might have a higher terminal velocity maintaining their "SPIN" for maximum penetration.
Which is what they said after they visited the "falling bullet accident" expert where it turned out that the victims were all much further away from where the bullet originated from, making it an angled shot and thus not a "straight up" shot.
47:45 "Perfectly calibrated" to confirm your bias. Those bullets are not spin stabilized, so how is that a valid experiment to test spin stabilized bullets?
why would anyone filter vodka? i mean who drinks vodka for taste? you drink it for effect, not taste. also vodka gives me almost instant headache, i prefer scotch or whiskey or something similar, it doesn't give me headache and taste is more bareable aswell.
22:36 Yer no you don KNOW that, they are not going terminal velocity, they where shot at a angle, so they fly with a arc, so they hit a way more than terminal velocity...
Here in Mexico some years ago a small boy was killed by a falling bullet fired by a guy at a party nearby. The boy was hit in the cinema as she was watching a movie. Police even found the hole in the roof where the bullet came in. (EDIT: it was a boy, not a girl)
I do not believe that story for a second. A falling bullet would NOT have the power to go both through the ceiling of a building and then still having enough power to kill a person.
"only case in the world where a 4'th of july negligent celebratory gunfire was caught" no shit, they don't have free access to guns in the same capacity and nobody else but the Americans celebrate the 4'th of July.
i’m sure it happens around the world and just isn’t reported on as much. Look at all the videos from the middle east where they fire round after round in the air during celebrations
I'm not sure if this is a dumb question, but why is the terminal velocity of a flat spin bullet the same as one coming straight down? I thought, that can't be right but please explain it like I'm back in school please. 😊
as a loose expanation the mass is the same, bullets are round so its functionally eqauly aerodynamic. theres no real factor that adds extra resistance to slow it down.
To make it simple, bullets can't fall straight down due to their shape. The tail end of a bullet is much heavier than the tip, thus when you drop it, it will try to fall tail first. Even if you drop it straight down, by the time it reaches terminal velocity it will be traveling on it's side. The way an object falls, is ultimately based on the shape and distribution of mass. Humans & birds etc. can alter their falling speed by using their muscles to change their shape to change the amount of drag.
21:28 A bullet fired straight into the air, - does not result in a trajectory ending up a mile away. It might have been celebratory gunfire, but it was not vertical, the curve must have had some horizontal vector to hit that lady.
Pig is not a fair test being an ex pig farmer ive seen a pig take a1 shot from a shogun from 1 meter away and it all bounced off poor buger there head at that spot is thick
There's one other thing. They tested with bullet hitting pigs skin and bone under it. Lets say bullet hits an eye (for that person have to be looking up at the sky though). This way falling bullet can easily be lethal
Some guns in the US are registered - I.e. the state knows the gun and the owner. In some cases, registration of the weapon involves providing a sample firing of a bullet. In other cases, police investigations of firings from the gun will mean they have a sample on file. Fired bullets have a striation pattern - lines cut into the outside surface of the bullet. This happens when the bullet is fired. The rifling lines in the barrel - which cause the bullet to spin - also cut these lines into the bullet. Rifling patterns are imperfect even between two guns of the same kind. They’re considered unique like fingerprints. So the police match the rifling on the bullet to the rifling pattern they have on file, like matching fingerprints, and thus they know whose gun the bullet was fired from. Then obviously there’s a bunch of investigation to obtain evidence of who fired the gun and from where etc.
There are some methods that can help. For example, the bullets fired from most guns do leave some consistence trace, a signature, of the firearm due to the imperfections of the gun. Things like rifling or rifling imperfections can leave marks that differ from all other guns. Other things like low density areas like farmland where there are only a couple of people within a few miles of the victim. If the victim has cover over head and the bullet went through that too, the angle from the cover/roof to where the victim was hit can allow triangulation to where the bullet roughly came from to probably around 100m. There might also be people who witnessed the donut shooting his gun into the air. Most guns shooting in air are from celebrations and there tends to be congregations of people. If news goes out into the community that someone was hit by a falling bullet, some people who witnessed the guns firing into the air would likely speak up. The trick is just to put everything together.
This only disproved if the bullet is fired EXACTLY straight up. That causes it to lose all of its muzzle velocity. When not true, the impact speed can be much higher. Gravitational acceleration PLUS remaining muzzle velocity.
Why didn't they use the balloon to determine the wind speed up higher like at the peak of it trajectory and a bit lower and alter the aiming accordingly, i think that you could get the bullet to land really quite close to yourself with enough testing and repetition (even though wind speed and direction changes quite swiftly) and with a device monitoring the wind speed constantly i dare say you could make a pretty good estimate of where it might land and plan the test accordingly.
Well no, he gave examples that seemed to match the arced shot that is explicitly not "firing straight up in the air". The fact that the Mythbusters team was unable to find any of the 30.06 bullets does suggest that people thinking they're firing straight up could still injure people, but there was no thorough proof either way. Also, remember that the semi-scripted on-camera interactions the Mythbusters have with experts are generally just snippets for TV (and often selected for ambiguity to preserve the 'myth'). Not only would I be stunned if that doctor hadn't asked for the previous experimental results and methodologies to give more specific answers, I'm surprised he didn't volunteer to join them for the salt flat experiment day.
Nope plenty of different bullet types and designs of which only designs grouped as hollowpoints are designed to expand and dispense as much energy as possible into a soft target. Wadcutters are designed to cut a neat hole in paper, different boat tail designs are designed to have the longest possible stabile flight, lead bullets are cheap, copper and polymer coated to be cheap but not foul barrels, copper bullets are designed to not deform and stay in tact ... Etc etc etc
@@hvr1874 I already anticipated this response. For example a .50cal wasn't initially designed for a human target but is obviously very effective due to it's mass and velocity. A round designed for a human target is going to release it's energy into the target mass for maximum impact as per it's design brief.
don't worry. They got em at the slaughterhouse. No pig was ever harmed during this episode. It may have been killed prior to this episode, or actually during the making of this episode. But that is just collateral damage. It is about what is shown on TV is what is important. And so they made sure not to film that part. Meanwhile in the middle east....
what about spin? Even a 9mm spins at 50000-60000rpm. Rifles can spin 5 times faster (part of the reason they fragment) They would still be spinning during free fall. Likely, not straight down, but tumbling much more.
That's so called expert is actually wrong about the bullets being lethal in terminal velocity. Bullets behaves like an arrow when they have been shot at angle. However if that angle is too sharp it will stop at air, it basically drops down with it's own mass without any extra speed and that kinda the thing with terminal velocity mass, drag and gravity.
They really put Kari in a lab coat, with glasses, a tied messy hair bun and dark red gloss lipstick... That's like seriously not cool for a child entering his teen years. I remember watching this show then. Science and the experimenting kept me here, but also Kari too lol. She aged like a fine wine as well
"There ar LITERALLY calculations we could do within less then 60 seconds to specifically determine the terminal velocity of a falling bullet because humanity SPECIFICALLY researched this for centuries ... or we could do some completely useless shooting into non standardized bal-g and scribble up some pseudo-math that looks viable but won't even hold up against the simplest of scruteny ... let's go with Nr. 2!" ...

They really put Kari in a lab coat, with glasses, a tied messy hair bun and dark red gloss lipstick... That's like seriously not cool for a child entering his teen years.

gravity isn't a "force"
What is it?

"There ar LITERALLY calculations we could do within less then 60 seconds to specifically determine the terminal velocity of a falling bullet because humanity SPECIFICALLY researched this for centuries ... or we could do some completely useless shooting into non standardized bal-g and scribble up some pseudo-math that looks viable but won't even hold up against the simplest of scruteny ... let's go with Nr. 2!" ... I get it, really, it's more fun this way but ... come the fuck on, you need a piece of paper and a pencil to check the falling bullet myth, nothing else
