    In that hat myth, velocity is the enemy. You want the largest, slowest round available as that is most likely to impart enough energy to make the hat fly instead of just flop.

    The lock pick in this one is not a device that picks a lock, it manipulates the rods inside the door that are attached to the lock. Normally referred to as a slim Jim. It by-passes the lock all together.
    Also I loved the reply of Grant, and Tory not even answering…. He’s jimmied a lock or two.

    @leonneldayoc5715 Před 7 měsíci +18

    The breaking out of prison myth would apply to older jail cell used in local county rather than a secured jail cell. The jail model they referenced to is much more advance than the usuall local jail cell shown in movies

    • @Dariush27
      @Dariush27 Před 6 měsíci

      But that doesn't really matter since he died from the blast right? If he survived the blast he would've been able to escape so it would've been confirmed anyway.

      for some reason people who leave college with multiple degrees aren't smart enough to think of the simplest things, just like it happened in the Kill Bill Coffin escape episode where they didn't think that after the first hit the wood would be weaker.

  • @tomedwards7382
    @tomedwards7382 Před 10 hodinami

    The thing is...some cars DO have their side airbags in the door, I believe the 1997 BMW 5 series is one example of many. When side/head airbags first came into being they didn't deploy as quickly and so a fair proportion were mounted in the doors. It was only in the early 2000's when technology advanced that they moved the thorax airbag to the seat and head airbag to the roof on most models. Those door mounted airbags...I'm sure they could accidentally be deployed by an errant lockpicking tool.

  • @toro5280
    @toro5280 Před 28 dny

    Yes, they maybe should have gone a little further. For example in "For a few dollars more" Manco goes to free that Sancho Perez dude from jail and Sancho uses his mattress to shield himself from the blast. I would be curious if this would have worked, even though I doubt it. Busted eardrums may be the least of his worries.
    Also from the same movie comes a scene where Clint shoots at Lee Van Cleef's hat until it is out of his range and he is out of ammo. Then it is Lee's turn and since he has the benefit of a longer barrel he empties the cilinder without letting Clint's hat hit the ground. Probably not possible, butit would have been cool to include the scene as a reference.
    Still, just minor nitpicks, a very enjoyable episode. Thanks a ton.

    You made that wall out of wood there was no way that these steel bars were gonna yank. In westerns the idea was that it was a brick or stone wall around the window giving up.

    • @toro5280
      @toro5280 Před 28 dny

      I haven't seen much westerns, mostly Leone's, plus a few classic, iconic ones, and a few of the modern ones. But I remember the scene from "For a few dollars more" and it was like you say - a mortar wall , or brick or something. Not wood.

    Should have had buster laying down and maybe on the other side... I'd want to be as far from the explosion not on the same wall and sat upright... You'd be curled in a ball in the far corner most likely... One of the problems I've had with the show over the years was it's choice of circumstances kind of baffled me sometimes.. like in this case.

      @@squidgert566 there’s a lot of bones left after med schools are done with corpses and it’s actually quite common for skeletons to end up in “civilian” collections. That’s what happens to most, actually. At least at the school hospital my family and I work with, people know what they’re getting into. Maybe not as specific as “goth bones store” but they know they’ll probably end up, end-of-journey, in stuff like that.
