- Adam and Jamie explore the myth that bullets fired skywards can kill upon descending!
Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals.

"Kari Byron, former undercover martini tester" 😂
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.
Frank: "I have heard of people were struck by..."
My Brain: "A Smooth Criminal"
not even a sec past xD

Oh god, now that's in my head 😂
I love Adam's, Jamie impressions XD
Season 4 would probably be one of the best seasons for me and the rest older. Why? It's because everyone actually works together compared later seasons where they actually ended up separated working on each of their own myths.
More or less, probably one of the only other myths in the series where it got the 3 rating judgement. "Busted, Confirmed, Plausible".
Also, a bullet fired directly up in the air could still be lethal if there happens to be a descending parachutist overhead
at that point youre just shooting someone
why didnt they use a metal detector to find the bullets?
Indeed. Great plan
finding a pencil thick hole by eye is faster than walking miles with the detector.
Even put 10 of them on a mounting across front of car and scan in widening spiral.
@@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.
Depending on where they were there might be metal bits from other experiments there.
Having these be officially uploaded to YT is great.
Though, as a Brit, it's weird hearing the US voice over... even more confusing is the BBC logo and the MasterChef UK logo!
😂 Yeah, I mean, what in the world happened that they have US audio but UK video?! What's with this weird concoction?
the us voice over is way better than the weird aussie/brit one - and I am not from any of these countries,, just the us voice is so much better.
@@john1-29_aka_LHT-LFA it really isn't. The US one is so cheesy, but not even in the 'good' cheesy way but in the typically American, shrink-wrapped, weirdly orange kind of way that makes me feel a little bit like somebody's spat on my ploughman's
@@matthewwalker5430 your icon is orange
I think you would be surprised by how many words you wrote there that you don't understand.
So much for International Experts… MythBusters ROCK! 👍
lol considering how many have died from bullets that missed the target
I like this episode. Busted, plausible and confirmed.

You can tell the range officer is like “why am I here”
Jamie: It goes that way. (Points to balloon)
Adam: Your observational skills are amazing! (Is what he should have said :P )
I'm here for the "ping"
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. 😊
That delightful garand ching never ceases to......delight me 😊
30:04 the ping!!
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
Well, they did made a disclaimer, 13:08 and confirmed that it is indeed thicker. "But eh, it's close enough."
Damn you sound like a real pig farmer too
I can feel that thick south accent
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
Well to be fair, it can bounce off the human head as well. It's super rare, but there are people out there who survived gunshot to the head.
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 🤔
That wouldn't match a real world scenario
😅😊😊😅😅😅😊
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

wonder how many times that's been said before

42:04 Hmm, the C Grant writes down was already there when Anthony tried the Vodka...
Someone messed up during editing!
I use vodka to pull off my pain patches. It does make a difference!
How can they have found the guy that fire the bullet that hit the lady ?
16:00 what we all came to see even if we didn't knew
There is actually a vodka brand called Grants here in the UK lol
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.
Legendary episode though I miss the UK version which adds a little full stop
"Busted, Plausible and Confirmed, this myths: Dangerous!"
i think they could have used a metal detector to find the bullets in the desert
max bullet speed will reach after 5 sek with 225km/h simple physiks you can´t fall faster then the gravity pulls you down
Guns and vodka cheap booze, that’s has America all over it!
22:20 this is dead wrong. The bullet was flying at higher than terminal velocity, which means the shooter didn't shoot straight up into the air.
Might kill if you look up and the bullet hits you in the eye
Why didn't they use metal detectors in the desert?
Doctor gives irrefutable proof something is possible - mythbusters be like "we need to see if myth is real or not" 😂
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.
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.
^^ i'm sum'what relieved that they didn't teach me bs in the army
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....
btw, what is this guy doing behind Adam while Adam is testfiring at 15:00?
I mean, comon guys, is this seriously needed ?
What a baloney
A bullet is designed to give up all of its energy into the target. It'd be a pretty useless round if it didn't.
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.
@@hvr1874 I was referring to the rounds fired into the ballistic gel. They did exactly what they where designed to do.
Sports cyclists aparently shave their legs before a race, not for streamlinining, but to make the removal of plasters less painful!
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.
in a moderate wind it sure could if fired from a rifle. But then again, it's quite unlikely it was fired exactly at 90°
@@alceees That is what I thought as well, celebrating gun fire usually doesn't involve exact measurements or safety precautions.
Why did u banned this videos to me i have been watching few days now and u cancel me why
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.
Eichenblättriger Giftsumach not poison oak loock up first before you saying any shit
arnt pig skulls denser than human ones, i remember reading pigs have higher bone denisty
13:07 it's 'close enough'
"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
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
gravity isn't a "force"
What is it?

Second!!!!
2nd place is just first place loser.
FIRST!!!!!

@@michaelmayhem350 ok
I want Carrie so bad!
Her name is Kari tho. And she's married? And this video is like 20 yrs old
