Every time I see Jamie having fun, my heart grows a little warmer.
JamieBot only feels human when it's causing pain.
Watch out for heartburn!
Mythbusters are rare, and sadly even more rare today. R.I.P. Grant and Jessi ❤ from a lifelong Mythbusters fan.
No way, dude ... I knew about Grant, but Jessi too..?
Damn... I'm so sorry.

I’m watching mythbuster with my 9yo son right now. And for sure they are helping us making core memories together! Someday when he hears about a myth, just a random myth, he’s gonna think about me, as I’ll think about him whenever new episode comes up! Thanks a lot for uploading these!
This is exactly what my father used to do with me and even after his passing I've gotten the best memories from it and I will cherish them, always.
Cheers to you and your son and many more of these amazing memories
This is very nice and way better than watching some short crap or crap pranks.
Hehe^^ A new generation of curious, explosion loving MB fans!
I hope he doesn't get hurt, when he builds his first pipe bomb.
Better teach him to remote control now from a safe distance, better than later. 😅
I'll let you know that this is exactly what happens with me. I'm 25 now, and when I hear a myth or anything to do with Mythbusters I think about my dad and when he, my younger brother, and I would all watch it together. We even submitted a myth together on their website.
It's definitely core memory making and also a way to "trick" your kid into learning. It's good edutainment.
I remember watching with my dad when I was younger, absolutely are core memories. I’m glad to hear you are sharing this with your son 👍🏼
For the first time ever I can enjoy mythbusters without commercials and randomly selected instead of the network showing the same few episodes over and over for some reason.
Jamie really hammered Adam with that bat lol
Jamie couldn't believe Adam didn't drop the gun.
Yeah haha, he freakin nailed him. That was hilarious.
Nailed him so hard, the handle grip broke lol
Jamie knew it would hurt.
he is immune to forearm shock now.
I think a big part of the gun dropping myth, is the scare from the shock. You tend to drop things when they suddenly get a massive shock. Even if you could of actually held on to it.
why this didn't work: when you fire a bullet, it starts out relatively slow, then picks up speed as the powder finishs burning and propels the bullet out of the barrel. the initial shock would only be about 200 ft/lbs. by the time it leaves the barrel it's 400 to 800 ft/lbs. the impact of a bullet after leaving the barrel is 2 to 4 times more than the fiorce you would feel just firing it.
@@richtravis9562 the most generous interpretation I can surmise of the claim made in your comment is that it is incorrect to compare a force with a positive acceleration to a force with a negative acceleration, even if the two forces are equal. Am I correct in understanding you?
@@nibs7252 when you fire you feel the initial acceleration suddenly; as the bullet travels down the barrel, the bullet CONTINUES acceleration as the powder finishes it's burn; by the time it leaves the barrel, it's acquired 2 to 4 times as much force. you do feel all that force, but it's an sharp force then gradual force. when a bullet strike a target, ALL that force is instantly transferred. so, more like the baseball bat example. yes, i could phrase it better.
you have to dig pretty deep to prove this, btw; everyone goes straight to newton, not taking into account the bullets acceleration in the barrel. kinetic energy being applied for 1/100th of a second, as opposed to that same kinetic energy being applied in 1/1000th of a second.
@@richtravis9562 I see, your argument hinges on a) whether or not a bullet impacting the gun is brought to a complete stop or not and b) whether the firing or the impact take longer from start to finish.
RIP Jesse and Grant
I miss them so much. Sad to think we’ll never see the full Mythbusters crew together again
Stop typing rip here, it gets a bit lame now.
When u got nothing substantial or funny to say, be quiet.😊

It is not funny nor is it substantial what you have said so far as a response to me.
Now, do us both a favor and get lost.

Thanks so much for the full episodes.
I love this show.
Miss it.
We got it now! There are so many great people making similar type content now. I'll admit that Mythbusters has a special feel.
@@Jim-Stick There are a lot of great people inspired by Mythbusters making great content, but Mythbusters was one of the OG's and holds a special place in my heart, and many others.

The "shooting a gun out of a hand" myth has ben done in 1993 by Officer Mike Plumb from the Columbus PD. He shot a .38 revolver out of the hand of a guy who threatened to kill himself. Done from a prone position 82 yards away, almost head on. The guy was unharmed, the gun in three pieces. Yes, there is footage.
I think that was done with a rifle, so quite a bit more force, but still plausible since few would expect it coming, and if I recall correctly the guy was holding his gun somewhat loosely in that situation since he was just slightly suicidal, not a hostage taker or anything.
@@EricLing64 It was a sniper rifle, so definitely more force. He waited until the guy had the gun between his legs, to minimise the chance of injury.
He held the gun pretty tightly, but the impact was so big, the gun broke into three pieces. No matter how good your grip is, you're not going to hold on.
Of course a very specific and unique situation, but it can be done, which is amazing.
Was he endangering others? Why exactly did they stop him, was he threatening to do it in a public place?
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly To stop him from killing himself and to take away the threat he might shoot someone. The sniper was told he had to make the shot without injury.
There are some articles that explain it all.
I SAW that! The single most amazing shot I have ever seen. The stuff of legend
4:30 “Perfect” sounds EXACTLY like that old street fighter perfect/adlib
It's uncanny
i had the exact thought lol
I literally said aloud it in the street fighter style right after
5:24
I can't believe they actually got Sandra Bullock to do this skit
the grin on jamies face just before he hits the target gun with the base ball bat is is priceless . this show is going to always will be a part of Americana . an yes i think mythbusters need a star on the walk of fame . thanks for posting the full episode's i pass them along to the groups on facebook that love this show as much as i do .
I especially love it when they address the crew on set, the camera and mic people, the editors _and the insurance folk_.
They missed the obvious reason why Adam could hold onto the gun. While he didn't know WHEN it was going to happen, he did know that it WOULD happen.
It's that Jamie is holding it the way you hold a real gun, with your whole arm deliberately in position. Adam's arm is loose, so swings to the side, minimizing the initial effect of the force.
and the finial test was a joke that’s not a proper way to test it you can tell buy thr drastically different facial expressions from when he hit the gun with a bat to where they where shooting it
@@ant8779 I don't think EITHER of those tests were actually comparable to the gun being shot.
There actually WAS a case of hostage situation where the police sniper actually did shoot the gun out of his hand. And I don't know why the show didn't show the video, since it happened in 1993. And it also makes it definitively confirmed. czcams.com/video/QhECHpArQSg/video.html
@@The22ndDoctor But even Adam would likely have dropped it more often than not if he had no idea ANYTHING was coming. There is no way he wasn't at least somewhat preparing for it with his grip.
I'm not sure they could really test it with a totally unsuspecting test subject, like get Tory or Grant. IT would probably be too dangerous to just hand them the gun and remotely trigger it. I guess they could tell them to point it toward a target but not shoot and just hold it there.
@@FUGP72 That's with a rifle carrying seven times more energy on impact than the pistol does, they are wildly different things.
God, one of the best shows of all time. This was my childhood. RIP GRANT and RIP JESSIE ABSOLUTE LEGENDS.
In the 90’s a sniper shot a handgun right out of a guys hand sitting on a lawn chair in a intersection on live tv. He was unhurt.
I actually own the first prototype of the "bus" that Tory made at the 7:00 mark. That thing is pretty epic!
sweet you lucky duck . big fan of your youtube channel
Nostalgia at its finest I loved this show the first time and and loving rewatching these episodes ha thanks for uploading full episodes
The impulse from hitting the gun with a bullet is much higher than that from shooting a bullet, because it takes place over a much shorter time.
It’s like this channel sparked to life over night.
You, anonymous person who upload those MythBusters videos on CZcams... I love you so much
Recoil is definitely different than impact
I know right? That just drove me crazy, with all their prior research and knowledge how could they not know that? Anyone who's shot a gun could tell you
Thanks so much for another full episode. It's a good day whenever that happens.
Tory: "Aren't there any massage therapy myths?" 🤣
Yeah.... the recoil of a firearm kinda breaks Newton's law. You actually feel only a small percentage of the impact strength because one is a compressible gas and the other is a solid going very fast coming to a sudden stop. This is one of the many reasons that a 4 year old child could fire a 357 magnum and not drop it but a .22 can break bones on impact.
It's also about mass. a person holding a gun weighs a lot more than a bullet. Both get the same energy, the gas expands equally in all directions, so it pushes the bullet in one direction, the back of the chamber in the other direction, but also against the inside of the barrel. But since the bullet is so much more lighter, it accelerates faster. Bullets are also somewhat pointy, so they will go deeper into the target than the gun.
And Newton's third law also explains why you can't send someone flying with a shotgun.
If the pellets had enough energy to send someone backwards, the same energy would act on the shooter. Which turns the shotgun into a jetpack.
And that is after the shot already went through the air and had drag acted upon it. So it's slowed down.
15:47 I would argue "no damage to the hand" is a pretty bold statement given what happens to the 'index finger' and how much shrapnel is flying around... so I appreciate the editors immediately following Adam's words with the high-speed footage, making sure we understand how overconfident he was ;)
I wish they had extended cuts that could explain why the steering was so sensitive or why the bus was so hard to control
MythBusters, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
I love how the orange cowboy is behind Grant in the Speed lead up
They definitely messed up not writing Myth-bus-tours on it 😂
They might have asked but discovery or whoever said no for some reason, but don't quote me I don't know for sure.
Boooooooo
@@cleverusername9369 this is myth busters not ghost busters bud
We miss you Grant.
I appreciate you guys uploading British episodes of mythbusters but PLEASE upload more episodes that aired in the US. There are so many good ones.
I never thought I'd say this but this makes driving a bus look kinda fun.
You guys are comparing the force of a primer propelling a bullet, versus absorbing all the expelled force of a bullet. It's 2 VERY different things. The “Newtons Law” was just shooting a gun sideways, a lot like a corner shot. If you guys did the math, you'd know its absolutely NO comparison. Except for backing up your theory there's literally no reason to let go, Adam sure saw through it and he's the smaller of the two. I also think his test with the bat was way more plausible just based on the stats alone
"you guys!... it's not an official channel.
I'll make sure to let 2009 Adam and Jamie know
Exactly what I thought. Similar but not quite the same.
Adam is taller than Jamie. You're right about the rest. It has been done by a police sniper called Mike Plumb from the Columbus PD. All the way back in 1993, so they could've researched it for this episode.
Who tf is "you guys" bro this is a TV episode that aired in 2009 lollll, did you never watch mythbusters growing up?
I need more!!!
Most likely the shooting the gun out of someone's hand thing... Even if it doesn't straight up knock it out, it's going to be one painful jolt to the hand which would be likely to cause a person to just drop their gun on the spot.
10:54 💀 damn bro, thats back to the future type of "too soon"
This was the first episode of Mythbusters i ever remember seeing
In high speed footages delay between of shot and recoil looks funny.
Honestly unbelievable that these don't have more views
The speed gun Grant has is the Hotwheels brand one, I recognize it because I had one experience growing up.
If they had hit the ramp properly, the bus might have kept going a good bit faster. The drive wheels lost their grip on one side and the undercarriage scraped on the side-edge of the ramp, both of which probably slowed the bus down a lot.
The model rebar is a nice touch
“However, I’m not gonna be done until I see what the audience is wanting to see” I love this show so much
85 mph swing is pretty good there Jaime 😂
6:05 That look of genuine terror on dude's face!🤣
Looking back on this, one flaw I saw in the initial shooting tests is the conclusion the other cowboy would be harmed. The shrapnel would be hitting thick, hide pants. That might offer some protection from injury. Not much (some scraps or shrapnel embedding itself a smidge), but some.
Still, the merit is that harm would be done.
Just by watching Jamie prepping to whack Adam's target pistol, grinning under his mustache and Adam bracing himself for the worst as always and our Mr. Super Mythbuster finally whacking it out of his hand with Adam feeling the jolt and freaking out, how perfect can you get?
That's pure comedy gold! If the Mythbusters sent any clips of moments such as that to America's Funniest during their tenure, THAT would've been at the top. I cracked up as all living hell after seeing that again, it was THAT FUNNY! 🤣
Also, on the bus jump myth, Grant, Jessi, and Tory got that one nailed; there's no way anybody can defy gravity to pull off that jump from what we've seen during the small scale experiments and from result replications with the bus falling extremely short on the results of what Speed showed even when taking the factors at play into consideration. Also, given that they wrecked another fence during the making of the episode, did they have the fence guy on speed dial during that time?
RIP Jessi and Grant. Gone way too soon. They will never be forgotten
The real problem with the bus jump is they didn't consider the obvious reason it worked in the film.......it was Keanu Reeve's wholesomeness that let the bus soar over the gap!
Bus and crew to moon for experimentation.
NASA: no
Space X: how soon?
Elon: ah em, ah I think ah em aaaah next year
Some of our current gun channels could re test these gun myths with modern ammo, like fmj's and brass solids
Grant is on fire in this one
Accelerating a bullett is not the same as stopping one though
I wonder why the failsafe didn't kick in with the bus. I mean I assume he did what they normally do which is that the break engages if the signal falls away.
32:53 I thought it was a cat on the ramp then I saw it was crane in the background xD
25:42 What a weird forklift tire 😮
"Forgot to carry gravity"
Hahahaha 7:50
"you forgot gravity".
Just think of the improvements for if the bus was done now... easier streaming of a good detail camera from the drivers perspective to the remote driver allowing easier steering.
Torie and the gang sounds like an old episode of Archie
RIP Jessie. Fastest woman on earth.❤️
Any stewardess is faster.
the rc car was already leaning forward
As someone who has experienced a comparable situation would say that something in the hand impacted by a round in flight versus the recoil of firing a round is incredibly different.
All due respect to Newton I must insist that the final testing method is flawed, the bat was much more comparable
24:30 ngl, that shot goes hard.
Regarding the gun one, I wonder if the force felt is really the same between shooting a gun and holding something that is hit by a bullet. When you shoot the gun, the force is spread out over a longer period of time as the bullet accelerates down the barrel. When a bullet hits something, that force is felt at once. I'm not sure how much of a difference that would make, but it might make some.
Love Y’all ❤😊
Rip grant and jessi, we will never forget them
We miss you Grant and Jessie
A police sniper shot a gun out of the hand of a man sitting on a park bench, threatening suicide. Didn’t hurt him. True story.
Definitely a bit of a difference between a sniper and a revolver though.
I wonder how Grant could have gotten the steering more calibrated. And how reliable an 2008-2009 radio control transmitter would have been to do that.
9:37
LET ME OFF THIS BUS!
The side shooting pistol is a neat idea in concept, but whilst it does captures Newton's 3rd law, it fails to take into account the mass and force of impact from the bullet itself.
In this scenario, the blowback you're getting from the gun firing off is only from the force of the gunpower, and doesn't take into account the additional force added by the bullet impacting.
Kinda weird they didn't consider this, especially since the baseball bat to handgun, they calculated the force of impact there, but I guess overlooked it when designing the actual gun idea.
A camera in the bus acting as the busdriver eyes would maybe have worked?
It hurts my heart to see them shooting perfectly good pistols.
Imagine they had used a drone fpv camera for steering the bus
Were all 4 wheels on the ramp? REDO!
Thank you Grant....if there is a Nerd heaven, you've already been there.
I only just realised that Adam is wearing a nostromo shirt from alien specifically either kane or dallas (Parker didn't have the patch on the right sleeve and Ash had a blue shirt
Just saw that, myself!
Did Adam sketch that Cowboy on the fly? O.o ( 2:33 )
10:54 It is ominous that Grant says he and Jessi "didn't survive the crash", considering that both have sadly passed on.
Back when there wasnt 3D printers and they were excited to have "vacuum form"
"Vacuum form" is still being used today, in fact many automotive industries still rely on using it
Its cheaper, faster and more efficient
Its not really a thing of the past
@@Sliptied yeah probably, it's just interesting to see people use the old tech
With a "mechanical" hand there is no allowance for reflex action even an airgun pellet at 12lb sq inch will elicit a reflex reaction (anticipation + surprise + realisation = reaction - gun dropped!). However, to hit a pistol from most angles would take an extraordinarily accurate shot (unless electronically aimed) so I would suggest the hit rate would be somewhere above one in sixty.
Even channeling the spirit of Keanu Reeves …… so I’m building an ouija board for the living to get this experiment to work .
Grant is so funny
21:08 A lot of energy and a lot of pain, but not nearly as painful as in the case of Adam holding his "target pistol" with his finger on the trigger. I think that situation would result in extreme damage to his finger, his hand, and even his wrist.
10:55 DAMN... I mean.... that's spooky ^^*
It really is lol, goosebumps
Anyone else notice how front heavy the small scale test bus was? If you look at the wheels, front and back, and compare them you can see its front heavy. Now that doesn't mean the myth wouldn't be busted, of course it would, but that bus didn't stand a chance being that heavy up front.
thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou
Tory: hey look, I survived the crash
Grant: I don’t think we did (Grant and Jessi) That’s a shame…
That hits a lot harder now…. I pray they knew the Lord Jesus. God bless their families in Jesus Name and the Mythbusters crew too
The western myth was interesting. 2:55 in Germany we call this Klett. 20:10 poor Adam.
Sad the bus jump was not that big success.
I think the way they built the RC bus was incorrect. They didn't have proper weight distribution. For example the weight of the engine being in the rear like a real bus.
The issues they had with the bus are what airplane engineers call pilot induced oscillation...
Happens when the delay between action and reaction of the system is getting too long
SWAT snipers shoot knives and guns out of suspects hands all the time. But i guess it's different than in the old days with old gun tech
So the bus jump is possible with equal weight all across the buss and it would have to go about 300 mph and it would only get half way on the other side
How do they calculate scale speed. I cant wrap my head around what a speed of 1:2 is. It cant be 50% of the speed since we are dealing with 3 dimensions. You can calculate how fast the small bus would need to make the jump bit that itself is not scale speed.
19:24 this made me laugh
The concept of the 'Newtons Law' gun never made sense to me in this episode. To me, using that is like saying "since the forces are the same, throwing a baseball is the same as haveing something your holding hit by a baseball."
That analogy doesn't work. Throwing a baseball means applying leverage through your whole body to move your arm fast and then let go of the ball. That takes way longer than the sudden, instantaneous impact of something being hit by a baseball, so the forces are not comparable. Newton's Law does apply to bullets being fired because the force of a shot making the gun recoil and a bullet hitting a gun are both practically instantaneous, and thus they're effectively the same. It's more like punching a punching bag versus the punching bag hitting your fist as it swings back.
Grant getting to live the dream of full size remote control cars.
what i don't get is how come they didn't put a camera in the bus or better yet, a top-down drone view to drive it? basically just turn it into a GTA bus
