"Jamies House of bent barrels" caught me by surprise, that was funny as hell. "Curved ammo not included" lmao
25:30 "this is the hardest wood i've ever worked with" lmaoo
It was technically true, but the wink just sent it into Benny Hill territory 🤣🤣
The wink got me 😂
Almost as hard as morning wood.
Oooh matron!
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.
it doesn't need the oxygen from the air because it has an oxidizer in it already.
Also a rocket is just a controlled explosion
every EV owner will learn sooner or later what thermal runaway is
@@fredEVOIXEvery ICE driver will learn that explosions hurt sooner or later
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?
Now that's a intro
Best mythbusters into ever!
How much does one episode make?
@@pakuma3 total agree
7:19 Loss of energy of 7%? No. It's a loss of speed of 7%, and kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
It was a 13.5% loss not accounting for spin
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).
@@user-ws5zu8jt8c The problem with variance was that they had limited time to make these episodes and also length of each episode, so many things must be cut out. In many episodes you can hear them saying that they repeated or tried more variety that they can count on it, but its not shown in the video due to time limit.
They never were very good with the physics of it...
We sent Adam and Jamie back to the old west to see --- Can you build a fully functioning timemachine ---Using only ducttape??
Since you can build x-ray with Scotch tape ...
Jamie doing a skit with an accent is so heartwarming.
Despite everything, Adam must have loosen him up a little over time ❤😅
Jamie purposely brought Adam on because he knew he couldn't carry the show by himself.
@@myztklk3v Adam had been working for Jamie for years already when the show was sold/picked up.
Lossened*
A tape measure is rolled in its case, and the centre does not contain tape. So hitting the centre in the third test, largest bullet, does not say anything about shooting the actual measuring tape.
I was just checking someone hadn't said thar before I put it up.
29:42 "Every single atom". That's an overstatement. They didn't have equipment to make such a deep vacuum.
22:08 Grantdalf. 😂
The animations were cool
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.
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.
RIP Grant, we miss you.
9:15 "if it does make it through we'll increase the caliber"
Hmm something seems off
Nice Intro i wanna see if a ShotgunSpear its usefull
7:01 for a plastic barrier that thing really can Stand Bullets
10:50 its the Position in the center there is a huge empty space more near the edges
there is Steel tape stoping the bullets
Powerhead, they use in them in spearfishing. Really need a bit of a barrel though, most of the power will be lost out the side and around the shells, not directing the shot.
40:31 classic Grant "Muahahaha!!"
I wonder if the bullet proof wallet talked about in the myth was a police badge wallet? I know some police forces give out wallets to hold your badge along with other identification and we know that from a previous episode that some older style badges were bullet prof. Doesn't change the conclusion as the wallet its self wasn't bullet prof, just thinking about what could've been in the wallet to make it bullet prof
lots of coins in the wallet have ability to stop many of pistol calibers.
Nothing is "bullet prof". What you're talking about is being bullet resistant, or being able to stop bullets up to certain caliber, not being bullet proof.
The Wilhelm Scream was used SO many times in this episode. :-)
33:48 Not sure where that theory came from, considering solid-propellant "kickstages" have been used in space pretty much since the first rockets to orbit.
Forget laser blasters in a space conflict…
BIG IRON
Only realising now that Jamie is low-key hilarious.
'Demolition Ranch' did an episode about guns with bent barrels.
I didn't expect hot oil to trigger the gun to fire.
bahahaha his aussie magician accent was so accurate
That 135 degrees bent barrel... The bullet had still significant energy but it also travelled sideways while going through the ballistic block!
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.
38:09 torys gun safety....
😲
Came here to say that.
Awesome, i love multible myths in a Episode.
Love that intro! Really nice rotoscoping animation.
One of the Best Intros, only thing missing was the original intro theme song
the .22 would probably gone through the center on the tape measure. Most likely nothing but a plastic spool inside there. The perimeter is where the wound spring and metal tape is.
It’s the part where they got the 10-22 with the upgraded trigger that gets me.
I don't think that 45 caliber round went through the tape.
The whole back was blown out
@@radnwavy5531you're misunderstanding, he's saying that it only went through the housing of the tape measure abd probably a plastic spool, but not the actual steel tape used to take measurements. There's no way it's wrapped so tight that a centre hit will hit it, they should have tried again hitting it off-center to see if that stops it
@@thecrazyfarmboy I agree. I misunderstood. And you're both right about the tape
The intro is amazing
You should try starch paste..
Under normal conditions, when left alone, it is like a "soft and watery slurry".
But when it encounters a hard blow, it becomes strangely hard.
This slurry can stop bullets of many calibers.
WTH are you on about about? Newtonian fluids do not stop bullets of any caliber... If you have no idea what you're talking about it's best to not talk about it... ;-)
22:48 Well if Kerry ever struggles financially she could always earn thousands making fursuits 😅
that intro animation definitely deserved a shout out...
They should have filled the barrel before bending it like they do when producing instruments. 🤔
They should have put a deformable mandrel in the barrel, first, to prevent kinking.
180 decree bend you can shoot our of your car from the window... and still hit the enemy..
i doubt that a tape measure stops a 9 mil
Ancient GoPro has art deco locomotive vibes
How on earth did they assume that rockets don't work in the vacuum?
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. I would say there's probably an inch of solid rolled steel all around that center peace which is why it stopped nine mm and 22 but the 45 penetrated. if the 45 penatrated the piece off center it may have stopped it.
There are special shotgun "spears" repel sharks ...
WHAT? Ich hätte geschworen das wird nen Rohr-Krepierer nach der Biegung o.o - unfassbar!
I laugh everytime they say they love duct tape ever since Adam admitted he really hated the stuff.
But can you cook 9mm bullets like in "Red"???
Hum...how about hockey puck vest.
I reject the results of the bullet proof tape measure . The first 2 shots hit the actual rolled up spring steel ruler side on , very strong , The third shot was in the centre , a weak part .
10:45 i would not say that. tape measures arent fully solid and they hit the middle of it on that one and normally thats one of the weak spots :D
its like shooting trough middle a spool of heavy wire and saying the wire wont stop bullets :D
and the first 2 shots hit the spool inside the measure so ofc those will stop. it also pains me when they tested if its safe behind the car but ofc they shot trough the middle of the car, but when taking cover behind the car best and safest spot is behind the engine block
True, they could have used stationary fired gun but this is close to real life shooting, its big luck anyway, more so that such a small object would get hit in the middle etc. The car one is funny yet still most people would hide that way.
The only downside of this show is being subjected to the stupidity of the imperial system:
"1000 feet per second" why not just use metres? Then you can easily conver staright into kmph
Because they're americans in a show for americans, what you're saying is like saying that a show in Japan needs to be voiced in French.
@@nattythepanda4692 Are you saying the metric system in English is a foreign language in America?
@@Bastardsword01 It is a foreign system, yes.
@@nattythepanda4692 No, that's not what he is saying at all. He's saying that science is a foreign language to americans.

#Questions
Type of metal used, tied to, making contact with the #ignition detonation wick (ie. light bulb filament) ?
Type of wire metal (ie. copper, nickel) used to carry the electrical charge ? (The myth seen a black and green coated wire)
Thank you
Demolition range do this before
I mean as they said: The Krummlauf already existed almost a hundred years ago.
(which btw translates to bent-barrel)
From what I learned, they came up with it because they forgot to design one of their tanks (I forget which one - I only know it was used mainly against the Soviets) with a coaxial gun or personal turret, so it was one of the most vulnerable tanks they had. The Krummlauf was their solution for not having to recall every single one of this tank model while still giving them something for close-range protection. Basically, just give the crew at least one, and through the slit on the turret or the top hatch, stick the barrel out and shoot, relying on the turret to twist around.
While it still supposedly fired normally (regarding the firing mechanism, that is), the bent barrel pretty much shredded every projectile sent through it (and possibly destroyed the barrel in the process if it was fired on full-auto), effectively turning the machine gun into a miniature machine shotgun that fired a spread. The problem, though, was that this meant that it had virtually no range and was really only good for when someone got right up to the tank - that, and reliably aiming it was pretty much impossible (though I guess because it ultimately behaved like a shotgun shooting an impromptu equivalent to birdshot, aim was not exactly a priority).
Birch = Hardwood ?
Not where i live...
Doesn’t seem like it but yes it’s classified as a hardwood
@@omnirath
You may be right, i haven't looked it up. I often worked with wood in my long life, but
Birch never felt like hardwood when i built something out of it.
Birch isn't a great wood to build anything with as far as I know. Still, pretty much every decidious tree delivers hardwood, doesn't it?
@@Tjescoo
Lot's of sheet wood / plywood is made of birch here in Europe.
@@TheElrondo the hardwood/softwood distinction have little practical application for us, I think the distinction between the two is basically deciduous vs conifers and how their vessels structure affect the grain of the wood, so it make sense in a way, but for people who work with wood birch (hardwood) is pretty soft and juniper (softwood) is damn hard
Why do they use feet "per per" second (ft p/s)? ft/s is so much more elegant..
And the wallet should have had some coins in it.. But tbh I recon it would only have added additional metal to enter the body. But anyways - would have been interesting to see.
I'm shocked, there's something that duct tape can't do?! My life is now a lie...
Somehow I almost expected duct tape to end up surprising us once more, but it won't stop bullets, fair enough haha.
That's impossible, no sleep for 11 days!
Im pretty sure the bend barrel myth is a bust with a higher caliber cartridge. At somepoint the bullet has enough mass/velocity and therefore to much momentum to change direction and will get stuck, split or pen the barrel
Yeah, need low pressure, or as the Germans made, specifically designed, so round ammo, low pressure, low velocity, soft bullets etc.
They could have dropped a bullet in the oil,without the pistol
How is this legal you say? Well, on the fancy fairs, this is completely normal.
8 episodes left with kari, grant and tory
25:31
Hook on Loop!
RIP Grant Imahara
Is Nokia Lumia bulletproof?
The bullet have to be short or it will get stuck in the bent barrel.
The tape measure question
It was shot in the middle where isnt any tape
Shme they didnt try again.
Tape measure stopped the 9mm but the 10 mm went through.
But....what ammo did you use for them? And what kind of bullets? What were the bullet speeds?
If you want to at least keep some level of science in your tests do mention "little" facts like that.
While regular guns regular cannons etc aren’t as flashy as laser blasters photon torpedoes and other sci-fi weapons the regular weapons are actually much more effective in space than the sci-fi weapons
Like an stg 44
The Soviet Union built a space station in the 70s with a big gun on it. They fired it in space after everybody had left. It worked.
Yup... There was a 2-barrel 23mm anti-aircraft cannon mounted there, because the soviets were afraid that Americans would try to attack or somehow sabotage the MIR (=peace) station. Or the gun could be used to shoot any objects that would orbit dangerously close to the station. Of course the recoil would mess with the station's orbit mechanics, so it would have to be compensated and adjusted after shooting.
I just want to thank Banijay for releasing all these.
RIP grant!
3:50 i was wondering, why they behind cover for the control
4:09 oh thats why 😅
TV regulations are very strict. You can find people doing much more dangerous things with way fewer safety precautions on CZcams these days 😅
They fired the gun in a vacuum at 1G on the surface of Earth, what if the weapon is fired at zero G⁉Well... the recoil of the gun shooting in space, would the gun become a rocket-propelled engine ❓🤨😉
I presume in America people dont have coins in their wallet? I see only paper money and plastic cards.
Not a fair test. The tape measure has a coil of tightly wound steel (the tape) inside it, that steel would be approximately 1 inch thick. The 9mm would have hit that coil. However, the 40 calibre went through the centre which is essentially empty space. The spring coil is in there, but in the centre of the case what's actually there to stop the projectile? You shouldn't try and bullshit a bullshitter.
if only there's a show where they don't just tell the myths...
Space is a vacuum... However there there is zero gravity. How does gravity effect a bullet
Gravity affects how far a bullet will go till it drops. Therefore, you know how it is without gravity.
@@phucletran2860 Yeah, in a vacuum without gravity, that bullet just keeps going until it hits something. Presumably, if you managed to get a large enough space with atmo but without gravity, the air resistance would eventually slow down and stop a bullet.
38:05 Tory points his weapon at Kari, he new he fucked up, it's plain to see in his reaction. It's always the hot chicks to die first. Bad Tory
No body is using glue on an aquarium though, issa silicone.
It's actually a type of compound that melts the acrylic slightly, which then sticks to iself
@@bl4cksp1d3r ah, that probably is how acrylic aquariums are made.
Myth related to bulletproof is not so easy... bullet proof means what? that will stop bullet? OK let it be... (even if it stop bullet hit person can die from blunt force trauma... ) But what bullet (what powder, what load, what weight)? what caliber? from what range? from what gun (length of barrel). All those factors can change result.
Gun in vacuum space... OK in vacuum it works (why shouldn't it? gun powder have fuel and oxidizer) question is if you can use gun in space... what about gravity? There still will be reaction force pushing back shooter. If gravity is week or there is no gravity at all (like in vacuum space) shooter will fly back... quite fast and far away... How fast? if bullet weight is lets say 6g (9x19mm) and is moving 400m/s then 70kg person would have speed of 0,0057 m/s in opposite direction. is this acceptable to drift away from space ship/rocket? ;)
This was Awesome. So how much are you guys selling the new bent barrels?
What is the combined I.Q. of all the Mythbusters?... Still they test Hollywood. As if Hollywood is not pure illusion!!?
Hahaha the hardest wood he ever worked with:D
I don’t just miss the show, I miss the era. Early/mid 2000’s was so calm.
Why the fuck can't they finish one story first before starting showing the beginning of the next one?
There 3as a gun produced with a 90 degree barrel to shoot round a corner.... No need to prove something that already existed

The .45 is lower velocity than the 9mm. It has more power cause it's bigger. 9mm is .356 cal which is quite a bit smaller than .451.
Total US Bollockls............
through and through, and through again? 🤣🤣
Jamie is so tired of Adam's shit in the intro lol
Often not wearing hearing protection in these and also only doing 1 shot of each, as if variances in bullets dont exist already. Need to do a group of them then compare to be scientific in the slightest. Not ideal way to present experiments like these.
