1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Please, don't try anything that you're about to see us do at home. Ever.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
That was fun.

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Then, Carrie Grant and Tori.

4
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
You want a piece of me?

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Take a bullseye view testing the age-old adage.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Red flag to a bull.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
And will the saying, Bull in a China Shop, stand up to science?

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
What?

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Ridiculous.

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Who are the Mythbusters?

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Adam Savage.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Arzoo Pond.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And Jamie Heineman.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience.

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
That is so strong.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Joining them, Grant Imahara.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
That doesn't look dark at all.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Tori Bellachy.

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Bang it, bang it, bang it.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And Carrie Byron.

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
High explosives and electricity.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
They don't just tell the myth.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
They put them to the test.

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Now, I want you to posit a story with me.

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
A husband and wife are going on a summer vacation.

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
They have some guns.

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
They have a little bit of ammo.

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And they want to store them in a place that no one would find them and steal them.

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
But they don't have a proper locking gun cabinet.

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So, the husband comes up with a plan.

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
He thinks it's ingenious in a place no one would ever look for guns or ammunition.

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
His oven.

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I'm not sure what, but something tells me there might be a problem with that.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Your intuition is correct because they come back from summer vacation.

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And I guess famished by the long drive, the wife goes to make a roast, pre-heats the oven,

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
and...

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Metal popcorn.

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Exactly.

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
They have a very healthy diet that evening of lead.

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Incredibly, it's true.

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
We have several reports of careless gun owners using their kitchen oven to store their munitions.

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
But the fan site is clamoring for answers.

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Would the bullets even explode at standard oven temperature?

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And if they did, would they escape the oven with lethal consequences?

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
What's the plan?

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Well, astonishingly, we have more than a few reports of this actually happening.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Of people storing not only live ammunition, but also loaded guns in their ovens and accidentally turning them on.

48
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
And I think we should test both scenarios.

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Okay, well, let's get in the oven and get to work.

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
All right, so we've come to the South San Francisco Police Department because they've got a shooting range that we've been filming in,

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
well, ever since Ice Bullets.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We've also done finger-in-a-barrel, shooting down a barrel, bullets fired up, and bullet in teeth.

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Today, we're going to be shooting at a bunch of oven doors.

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Now, this is a control for our ammo in the oven test to see exactly how bullet-proof an oven door is,

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and if it's not, how lethal is the bullet after it gets through.

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:27,000
With the help of supervising adult John Stankovitz, Adam and Jamie intend to fire a variety of weapons at the steel and glass of the oven doors.

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Here comes another grant.

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Look at that.

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And to find out if a door-piercing shot is lethal, Grant is going to play the part of the curious, careless chef.

60
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Jamie steps up for the first test, and he's using the smallest weapon at his disposal.

61
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Fire it.

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:58,000
But even the .22 caliber pistol easily penetrates the double layer of toughened glass, and Grant's head.

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
It's about three inches of penetration going through both panes of glass.

64
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Well, I'd call that a kill shot.

65
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Yeah, pretty much without a doubt.

66
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
But what about the steel?

67
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Grant and his ballistic bust breathe a sigh of relief, because the round failed to make it through.

68
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Yeah, I'd say your reason to be protected by your oven from a .22 shell.

69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I think it's time to try the .44.

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Dirty Adam and his magnum are next.

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
But this time, the metal door frame is no protection.

72
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The .44 caliber round gives Grant a lethal headache, and Adam and Jamie have their worst-case scenario baseline.

73
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Grant wants to know what's next.

74
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
That would be the shotgun.

75
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Now, none of the reports our researchers uncovered mention a loaded shotgun.

76
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
But if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

77
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
All right, Jamie, here's your motivation.

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
This oven door is run off with your wife.

79
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And you decided to gear up and get even.

80
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So don't worry.

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Oh!

82
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
I guess the moral is, don't elope with Mrs. Heineman.

83
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
I think that's enough.

84
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Okay, play time's over. Let's get the results.

85
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It may seem that the testing we've done today here is a little gratuitous.

86
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
I want to make it clear that we're just trying to get a really good control.

87
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:43,000
We want to know what these bullets do to the oven doors, both the glass and the metal, in the worst-case scenario.

88
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And they all seem to be similar amounts of pretty darn lethal.

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
But that gives us a perfect baseline with which to continue the testing.

90
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And the next thing we do is we start baking some bullets, getting some lethal popcorn.

91
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
What did you just say?

92
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Okay, I heard what you said. Why did you say it?

93
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Dude, we're doing rodeo myths.

94
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Oh, cool. Which one?

95
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Red flag to a bull cowboy.

96
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
That's when the color red, like, infuriates the bull and it comes charging after you.

97
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
I have always wanted to test that.

98
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Yee-haw!

99
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Now he's on board.

100
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Okay, so how are we going to test this?

101
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I think it's really simple. I'll just put on a red sweat suit.

102
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I'll stand in the middle of the ring and we'll let some bulls out and see if they charge me.

103
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
All right, slow down, partner. Before you start racing around in red, there's rodeo in town.

104
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Grant and I will go down at the cow palace and find out exactly what you'd be in for.

105
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Because we make better decisions about your safety than you do.

106
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
A good idea.

107
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
With Tori's career as bull bait on hold,

108
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Karrion Grant mows you down to where bulls are treated like royalty

109
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
and the clowns put their limbs on the line.

110
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So you are a rodeo clown at the Grand National Rodeo?

111
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Yes, sir. Sure am.

112
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
So is this a dangerous job?

113
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Oh, yeah, it can be a very dangerous job.

114
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I've last raced my pancreas, I've had a bull stick as horned through my arm.

115
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I've had a bull that I didn't even see him coming hit me right in the side.

116
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
He actually broke my femur in four places.

117
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Oh my God. Okay, now I'm a little scared for Tori.

118
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
What would a bull, one of these bulls, do to a guy like that?

119
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
He can take a cowboy and toss him about 30 foot in the air.

120
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
It's unbelievable how strong those animals really are.

121
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
That's 1,800 pounds right there and I mean it's coming on full force, it's nothing nice.

122
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
That's a mouse.

123
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Sorry, you're not getting to that ring until we're sure the bulls aren't going to charge you.

124
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Sorry, so how are we going to test this myth?

125
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Well, this myth is about color, so I think first we need to isolate the color red,

126
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
see if that's what makes them charge.

127
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Let's hang up a couple different colored flags and see if the bull goes for the red one every time.

128
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Cool. You know one other thing we should test is the presence of a human and motion

129
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
because those matadors are constantly moving when they're in the ring.

130
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Okay, we can build a set of robotic matadors.

131
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Alright, so the team begins by making three makeshift matadors,

132
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,000
each capable of waving a different colored flag and you could say they're itching to get started.

133
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Wait, no, I got another itch, but it's lower.

134
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Can you reach that one? I can't reach.

135
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
We're all dying, not really. I'm dying to get into the ring with that bull.

136
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I don't know if Karrion and Grant are, but it's just too dangerous.

137
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
So what we're going to do is use these molds to make some foam bodies.

138
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000
We already have Grant's head cast. We need to make Karrion's now and then eventually I need to make one of mine.

139
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
It's new.

140
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
So Karrion, what are we going to do next?

141
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Well, what we're going to do right now is weld some of that stuff together and then maybe I'll do something dangerous.

142
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
That sounds amazing.

143
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Next, they need to put a body to the face and Karrion has insisted they make them out of foam so they don't hurt the charging bulls.

144
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
That's great. Alright, one down, two to go.

145
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,000
As Tori completes the trio of foam bull bait, it all gets a bit weird.

146
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000
See the thing is, people don't know this. You get rid of the head, you get rid of the identity of the body.

147
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Remember, you got to get rid of the hands and feet too.

148
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
A little rough on your partners there, aren't you?

149
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Before Tori does any more damage, Dr. Frank and Grant brings the three foam bullfighters to life with a cunningly placed drill and a few hinges.

150
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:09,000
This rail is going to go a colored flag. Right here is a drill with a little crank and when I activate it, what it will do is move the flag back and forth, just like this.

151
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Hopefully enticing the bull to chase.

152
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
The final pieces of the puzzle are the colored flags.

153
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
This is how lazy people sew.

154
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Now, of course, we're going to test red because, well, that's what the myth is about.

155
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Does Chi-Hee look like me now?

156
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Then we've got white. White is such a high contrast red, we thought that, you know, that would be the perfect opposite.

157
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Alright, dude, that's awesome.

158
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And lastly, blue, which, you know, I figure if you're looking at a black and white screen and you saw these two colors, they'd be very similar.

159
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
So the Matadors are dressed to test.

160
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
That's what I'm talking about.

161
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
It's time to head on down to the ranch.

162
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Coming up on Mythbusters.

163
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Hot bullets! Get your hot bullets, Diaz!

164
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Things heat up and go off when Adam and Jamie put a gun in their oven.

165
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Adam and Jamie are testing the myth that a kitchen stove used to store ammunition is not just a really bad idea.

166
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I think that's enough.

167
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
But lethal.

168
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000
The guys are basing their investigation on an incident that supposedly left a husband and wife diving for cover.

169
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And their kitchen riddled with bullet holes.

170
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,000
So, what formerly was just an oven from the thrift store now is a full experimental platform.

171
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
We've painted it white so that our high-speed camera can see clearly what's going on.

172
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
We put tempered glass over here, several sheets to protect the camera.

173
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
We put the bullet down there, we pipe in some gas, we get this thing hot in the H.E. double hockey sticks and we watch some science happen.

174
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
There's three questions we're going to answer with this test.

175
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
One is, will the bullets really go off in the oven?

176
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I think the answer is going to be yes.

177
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Number two, will they get out of that oven?

178
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
And number three, if they get out of that oven, how lethal are they?

179
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:17,000
In our control tests, in the shooting range, we have done a little bit of calibration of some ballistics material that is soundboard and plywood.

180
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
We know what it means to be a lethal hit in this arrangement.

181
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000
So, any bullet that gets out of this oven through this door is going to be hitting this real bullet swallowing backstop.

182
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,000
While Adam rigs a remote temperature probe, Jamie tweaks the oven for high-speed heating.

183
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
What's good?

184
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Hot bullets.

185
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:48,000
The first test is a .22 caliber shell, which is placed on the rack with the bullet facing the door before the heat is cracked out.

186
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
That's perfect, hold it there.

187
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And with the cameras rolling, it's all systems go.

188
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
260. My oven never heats up this fast.

189
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:03,000
And while we wait for the .22 caliber casserole to cook, let's do some learning.

190
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Let's talk a bit about how bullets actually work.

191
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
They're in four parts.

192
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:21,000
You've got the primer on the end, you have the case, you have the propellant inside, that's the gunpowder, and then you have the bullet itself on the end.

193
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Now, how this all works is that when you have this in a gun, there's a spring-loaded hammer that fires a pin into that primer.

194
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
It sets that off and that ignites the powder.

195
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Now, at that point, the bullet is pushed out of the case and it starts to go down the barrel.

196
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
That's how it works.

197
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Meanwhile, back in the bunker, things are heating up.

198
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And at just over the 500 Fahrenheit mark, dinner's ready.

199
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
There we go.

200
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
But what happened?

201
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Smells like science.

202
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Bunker cam shows the glass of the oven door remained intact.

203
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
It's quite clear you oriented the bullet pointing out the window.

204
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Yeah.

205
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:09,000
And yet, the only dent that I see is in the back of the thing, which means that has to have been made by the casing.

206
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
And there's a casing right below that.

207
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yeah.

208
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
The shell casing was much more dangerous, it seems, than the bullet, which bounced off of glass.

209
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:26,000
When a cartridge is cooked, as opposed to shot from a gun, the powder sends the lightweight shell casing flying and not the heavier bullet.

210
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:34,000
So on the next test, they up the caliber to 44 and flip it so the bullet faces the back of the other.

211
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
So what's on the menu, Monsieur Sabage?

212
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Oh, now, you're waiting for the temperature to climb for my greatest creation, 44 calibre soufflé.

213
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
472 degrees.

214
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
There it goes.

215
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Good.

216
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Ha ha.

217
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
The glass is still there.

218
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
No breaking of the glass.

219
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Yep.

220
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Just like the 22, the shrapnel from the 44 round failed to pierce the oven.

221
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
So let's go for broke with a 50 caliber monster.

222
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Let's take a comparison here.

223
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Oh, there's the 44.

224
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Oh, wait, and there's the 22.

225
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
If anything's going to cause significant damage to the oven, it's this guy.

226
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And around 10 minutes later, it sounds like Adam's prediction is spot on.

227
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
That's the explosion I was looking for.

228
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
A look at the high speed reveals a more energetic detonation than the previous tests.

229
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Oh, we have broken glass.

230
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
We have broken glass.

231
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Broken but not breached.

232
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Only the inner layer of the double glazed oven door was shattered.

233
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
It was pretty violent, all right, but it's still inside the oven.

234
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Even the 50 cal wasn't enough to get out of this oven.

235
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I'm really pleased with these tests.

236
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:08,000
I think we've definitively proven that an oven at normal temperatures can get plenty hot enough to make bullets explode.

237
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:17,000
What I'd like to know now is, if I chambered a bullet inside a pistol and put it in the oven, would it explode in any way that would be dangerous?

238
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Going back to the myth, our guy not only stored his ammo in the oven, he left his guns in there too.

239
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:32,000
So this test is the absolute worst case scenario, a loaded 44 caliber revolver facing the door.

240
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Hot bullets! Get your hot bullets here!

241
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
I think that went off.

242
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
I think you're right.

243
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I think I heard glass shattering.

244
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
The evidence paints a deadly picture.

245
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:54,000
The bullet left the barrel at a lethal velocity, shattering the toughened glass, before penetrating the wooden backstop.

246
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,000
It's a perfect result for us because the ammunition in every way that we tested is totally busted.

247
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
None of it ever got out of the oven with any force that could be construed as dangerous.

248
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000
However, the moment you put one of those pieces of ammunition into a weapon, it becomes really deadly.

249
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
That, my friend, is a kill.

250
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Yeah, putting a pistol or gun loaded in your oven is a very, very easy way to get yourself shot.

251
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Yeah, not just shot, shot and killed.

252
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
A loaded gun in an oven could kill you. Myth confirmed, I'd say.

253
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Confirmed.

254
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000
As amazing as it seems, we're gonna ramp this puppy up, we've got can fire spear, can't get some buckets of barbecue bullets, and even still, we couldn't fit it all into the episode.

255
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
To see what we had to leave out, log on to discovery.com slash mythbusters.

256
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Coming up next on Mythbusters, will a red flag make a bull go nuts?

257
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Not right now, Grant, it's a really bad idea.

258
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Carrie Grant and Tori are testing red flag to a bull.

259
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Alright, so, red flag to a bull, where do we stand?

260
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
All the flag waving dummies are done, and we've dressed up the Carrie one in red.

261
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We'll see if that drives them wild.

262
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I'm sure it will.

263
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
That's good, because I got some bulls for ya.

264
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Rodney the rodeo clown set us up with a friend of his, who apparently has some angry bulls.

265
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Sweet, alright, well let's pack up and get up there.

266
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
I heard that.

267
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
But, back to the cuddly bulls.

268
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,000
So, our three amigos have their bulls, and their destination, the Kish Bull Ranch.

269
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,000
And this series of tests has been designed to find out if a red flag will make a bull charge.

270
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And if not, then what does?

271
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
The team will compare static flags to movement, and introduce the makeshift matadors.

272
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
But first things first, the setup for the single red flag test.

273
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Let's run a zip line all the way across the arena.

274
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
We can tie a flag to it, just leave it static first, see if the bull charges.

275
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
These bulls look ready, they look more than ready, so maybe we should get out of the pin, and get the tests going.

276
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Okay, test number one, static red flag.

277
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Okay, go ahead, let the bull out.

278
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Oh, this guy's full of fire.

279
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Dude, he's going for it.

280
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Just like the myth suggests, the bull is not happy with that red flag.

281
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Well, maybe we should try the blue flag, and see if he has the same reaction.

282
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Okay, let's switch it out.

283
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
The bull totally charged the red flag, but it was the only thing in the pin.

284
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,000
So, to make sure that it's the color that attracted the bull, we put a blue flag in the pin, and we're going to do the testing with another bull.

285
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Wow.

286
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Ah!

287
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Well, he did go for the blue.

288
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
He's totally convinced, unless he goes again.

289
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Here we go.

290
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Here he goes.

291
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
This is great.

292
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Yeah!

293
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Are you satisfied? Would you say he charged the blue flag?

294
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
He definitely charged the blue flag.

295
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
But satisfied I'm not, I think we should try the white one as well.

296
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
But the single white flag yields exactly the same result.

297
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Oh!

298
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
There's your answer.

299
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:29,000
It seems that any flapping piece of cloth annoys these bulls, meaning this myth is already on shaky ground.

300
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And the next test, a multiple choice, confirms that suspicion.

301
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Yeah, bull!

302
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
White, blue!

303
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
That was perfect!

304
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
All three!

305
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
That three flag flyby means only one thing.

306
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
These bulls just don't care for color.

307
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
But if it's not color, what exactly is it that's bothering our bovine friends?

308
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:59,000
This next experiment will test the theory that it's a moving flag and not a red flag that infuriates them.

309
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Gone for blue?

310
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
With Grant in control of the blue flag with his remote control.

311
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
He's going for the blue!

312
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Yeah!

313
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
The results are there for all to see.

314
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Move it, move it, move it, move it.

315
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Look at that!

316
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Yeah!

317
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I am totally convinced!

318
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:28,000
It's movement that triggers an aggressive charge response and not the color red, which leaves the myth looking busted

319
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
at our trio of tall tailed tacklers speaking in bold.

320
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Those are whales.

321
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Next, Torridor Torri hopes he'll be breakdancing and not breaking bones when he steps into the ring.

322
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
This is starting to feel like a bad idea.

323
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Remember, don't try this at home.

324
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
We've got years of experience that keeps us safe.

325
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Back at the ranch, Carrie Grant and Torri are hot on the trail of the red flag to a bullman.

326
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000
We've done so far, it's taken several different colored flags, red, white and blue, and compared them to motion.

327
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
And it looks like at this point, the bull is preferring motion over color.

328
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
What we're going to do now is add the human element.

329
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:26,000
We've got our three dummies lined up and they're going to be waving their flags and see which one the bull goes for.

330
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Oh, oh, now it's going for white!

331
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000
What?

332
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Look at that!

333
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Now that is conclusive.

334
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
The bull went straight for the white dummy and Grant's stunt double requires CPR.

335
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Don't give up on me now!

336
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Are you done playing with yourself?

337
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,000
There's two dummies still standing and for the final showdown, the guys decide to up the ante.

338
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Apparently these guys have a Mexican fighting bull and these things are trained just for that to attack.

339
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Oh, he just moved past!

340
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Oh, wait, look at that!

341
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Isn't that cool?

342
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
It's like the last one standing is Carrie Red.

343
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Yep, quite simply, color is irrelevant.

344
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
These bulls just want you to butt out.

345
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Well, now that we've wrecked three of our dummies, I guess we have one left?

346
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Well, buddy, it's your turn to suit up.

347
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Are you serious? I get to go in the ring?

348
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Yeah, well, you know, we've proven that Red specifically is not what's making them charge.

349
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:36,000
So I'm fairly certain that if you put on a red suit and stand completely still and the bullfighters run around you wearing other colors, that you probably won't get hurt.

350
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And to confirm Tori is unlikely to be gorge for science, Grant Carrie and our hands-on expert from the University of Phoenix, Professor Andrews, have been discussing a bullseye view.

351
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:56,000
So far our findings do not show that Red does anything magical. They seem to go towards movement rather than actually for the color red.

352
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Why is that? Are they colorblind?

353
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Well, it's a common misconception that they are colorblind, but in fact they're not.

354
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
In the last ten years, people have looked at animals with hooves and found out that they're what's called dichromates.

355
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:17,000
They can see two main color types. Humans are trichromates. We can see the rainbow and all the colors in between.

356
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Color perception is a complex field of study, but basically the human eye has three types of cone cells that help us distinguish color.

357
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:37,000
But cattle only have two. So although they can see reds and blues, it's likely they see the world with a muted palette of color, like this.

358
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Okay then. So bulls can see red, but there is no scientific evidence to prove that makes them any more enraged than any other color.

359
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Absolutely. There is no scientific evidence to support that.

360
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Which puts the final nail in the coffin for Red Flag to a Bull. And risking joining the myth in this coffin is Tori, who's quite literally putting his limbs on the line for science.

361
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Nervous? Hell yeah, I'm nervous.

362
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:15,000
This is our ultimate test of the color red to a bull myth. Now what Tori's going to do is he's going to wear a full red jumpsuit and stand in the middle of the arena completely still.

363
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000
We have two professional bullfighters that are going to be running circles all around trying to attract the bulls.

364
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:31,000
We think that motion is what sets them off and not the color red. So if the bulls attack the cowboys, they don't go for Tori, we will have definitely proven something about this myth.

365
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Personally, I'm really concerned.

366
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
This is starting to feel like a bad idea.

367
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Tori, are you ready? I don't know.

368
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Yeah, I guess.

369
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Let's do it.

370
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Okay, release the bull.

371
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
This is it, the moment of truth.

372
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Oh my gosh, running around.

373
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:02,000
It's a good start. The angry 1,000 pound bull has so far only charged the moving cowboys.

374
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Somebody come back to this side now. Come over to this side.

375
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:12,000
But suddenly with the cowboys out of position, Tori is left exposed. Will the myth or Tori be busted?

376
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Everybody stay sharp. He's on the Tori side of the ring. He sees Tori.

377
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
More movement, more movement.

378
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Good job, dude. Good job.

379
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
He's looking right at us. I know, I know.

380
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Tori and Tori survives and as the bull is ushered away, everyone lets out a big sigh of relief.

381
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
All right, should we do a couple more? No.

382
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I'm not going to lie, that was a lot of fun. But we proved something too.

383
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Yeah, the color red is not what causes the bulls to charge.

384
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
They had no preference to color at all. In fact, it looked like they were going for whichever one was moving the most.

385
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
A good thing for me, red flag to a bull is busted.

386
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Busted.

387
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
I'm glad you're not.

388
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
That was fun.

389
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Jamie and Adam have confirmed that a loaded gun in your oven is a recipe for disaster.

390
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
That, my friend, is a kill.

391
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,000
But the guys are still fanning the flames of this myth. They want to test bullets on an innocent old campfire.

392
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
We've seen what happens when we put hot bullets into an oven.

393
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,000
But I like to know what happens to them when they're unrestrained and we have plenty of reports of people throwing bullets into a campfire.

394
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
So I think that's what we should do next.

395
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Sure.

396
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000
So it's hot bullets, take two. And this time there won't be an oven door inside.

397
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:59,000
We're going to do this remotely and I've come up with the idea that I might use this little remote control robot that I have.

398
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
So I'm going to put some sort of a thing that I can tip or dump things into the fire with this safely from a distance.

399
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Meanwhile, Adam's been building a ballistic teepee.

400
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000
This is the system for detecting exactly how lethal bullets thrown in a campfire are.

401
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000
I'd love to use ballistic gelatin around the campfire, but because it's thermally reactive, it would melt.

402
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
So I came up with this idea of wood and sound board.

403
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And I'm going to place 12 of these around my metal framework in the middle of which will be the campfire.

404
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:39,000
This won't catch on fire, but as bullets are exploding in here, if they're lethal, we're going to see the marks they make in the face of these triangles.

405
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
It's time to hit the Alameda County Bomb Disposal Range with a munitions expert.

406
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000
His honorary myth buster, J.D. Nelson.

407
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,000
First up, there's a fire to be built, so our overgrown boy scouts swing into action.

408
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
I think that's about the fastest fire I've ever built. It's dry as a bone out here.

409
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
You know, it's making me hungry for lunch, that great wood smoke smell.

410
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
That is bloody delicious.

411
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000
After lunch, Jamie takes us through the test setup.

412
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
This whole setup is very simple. We're going to have the robot back over near our blast chamber.

413
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:24,000
The fire is going. We're going to load the bullets into the dumper on the robot, send the robot in, dump the bullets into the fire, see what happens.

414
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Sparky the robot takes his deadly cargo on board. It's a brass cocktail of 50, 44 and 22 caliber bullets.

415
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
This is sparky!

416
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,000
With the fire roaring at over a thousand degrees, Adam and Jamie are expecting an instant reaction.

417
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Okay, anybody have issues? I'm going in.

418
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Go for it.

419
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Okay, going down.

420
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Perfect!

421
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
I could not have gone any better.

422
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
But the show ain't over yet. At a close encounter of the ballistic kind...

423
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Everybody get close to the shield.

424
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
I heard those suckers going whizzing by us.

425
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Reminds everyone of the difference between this and the oven test.

426
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
There's no steel box slowing down the shrapnel.

427
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Oh, that was one of the big ones.

428
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
That was fun.

429
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Okay, now I'm worried that the fire coals could set fire to our uprights.

430
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
So I'm inclined to wait a few minutes, but then head in with the hose.

431
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Why don't we unhinge one of these blast chambers and walk out with it?

432
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
I feel like we can get close enough with this.

433
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The other thing is that...

434
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Alright, let's walk with one of these in front of us.

435
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
I'm just keeping the panel between me and the fire the whole time.

436
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
It's clear there's a whole bunch of bullets that are just not fired.

437
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
They got ejected from the general mayhem there that didn't go off.

438
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Which is actually an important part of the myth because you could throw a bunch in the fire

439
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
and then think it was safe and go back in and then get nailed.

440
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Right.

441
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Oh, there's some hits.

442
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:21,000
The early conclusions from this forensic assessment indicate throwing bullets on a campfire could be lethal.

443
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
This right here is a 50 caliber bullet.

444
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Probably came out of a casing just like this.

445
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
You see how much energy that is.

446
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
It's a brass pipe bomb.

447
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
But a closer look reveals key details.

448
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Once again, it's the lightweight casing that becomes the projectile and not the bullet itself.

449
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Check this out.

450
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
This is the deepest pair of hits we took.

451
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
This one matches the rear of the casing exactly, even the dimple.

452
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Yeah.

453
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
That's the deepest one out of all those hundreds of bullets

454
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
and I don't think that would even still break your skin.

455
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Yeah, I think personally you'd be pretty bloody, but you wouldn't be dead.

456
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Well, you know me and Jamie, the fun can't end just there.

457
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
There's been plenty of idiotic things that people have thrown into campfires

458
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
and we're going to try as many of them as we have time for.

459
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Next on MythBusters, Carrie Grant and Tori let up full loose in a china shop.

460
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Ridiculous.

461
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And Jamie and Adam surprise no one when they ramp things up.

462
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Whoa!

463
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Music

464
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Carrie Grant and Tori have already busted the myth that bow vines are bothered by red.

465
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,000
But the ball's still rolling around this bullpen.

466
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Well now that we have access to a whole herd of angry bulls,

467
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
there's a saying I've always wanted to test.

468
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
What's that?

469
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Well, you know how they say Tori is like a bull in a china shop?

470
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
No.

471
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000
I want to know what's going to happen if we actually put a bull in a china shop.

472
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
You mean is it going to be just dish carnage?

473
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Yeah.

474
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,000
It's a vivid simile.

475
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000
When you say someone is like a bull in a china shop, it means they're clumsy.

476
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
A clutch.

477
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And you know, likely to break stuff.

478
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,000
But surely it's time this old wives tale was put under the microscope of modern science.

479
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
And to kick things off, Carrie and Tori are down at Thriftown.

480
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Grandma?

481
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Where Carrie manages to get enough crockery to stock a china shop

482
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
before Tori gets them thrown out.

483
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Back at HQ with the help of the fast forward button,

484
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Carrie marks up some bull friendly foam shelves.

485
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Now I'm pretty sure that this foam board is not going to hurt the bulls.

486
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,000
But to make 100% certain, I want to test

487
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
to make sure they don't get harmed.

488
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000
After they fix those shelves and Tori's bulls, it's back to the ranch.

489
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Where they set up shop inside a bullpen.

490
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
This one looks like it's ready to go without the bull.

491
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
That's the worst one.

492
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
With the china stack precariously and the thousand pound bulls raring to go,

493
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000
surely we're about to witness the most predictable outcome in this Buster history.

494
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Bullvine Bedlam at a whole heap of cracked crockery.

495
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Oh dang! Here comes the bull!

496
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Look, he's totally avoiding all the china.

497
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Oh no!

498
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Nope.

499
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
He's actually doing a lot better than I thought he would.

500
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Absolutely.

501
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Come over here.

502
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Come on, come on.

503
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,000
He's praising.

504
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
He likes what he sees.

505
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
So the first guy has let the team down.

506
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,000
They were expecting the bull in a china shop to be like, well, a bull in a china shop.

507
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Whoa, he's getting right through the shelves without knocking over a single piece.

508
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,000
That was cool.

509
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Even when they upped the ante, two bulls in a china shop.

510
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The expected carnage is distinctly underwhelming.

511
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Look at that.

512
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
They're very careful of the breaking china.

513
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:22,000
We've tried actual bulls in our mock china shop and I have to say I am really surprised at how nimble they are.

514
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
They're almost daintily avoiding the shelves that we've set up.

515
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
They just don't want to break the china.

516
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Check this out.

517
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000
You know what, I didn't even think I could run that fast in a china shop.

518
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
This is ridiculous.

519
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Like all great Mythbuster stories, it's the ones that defy expectations that give the team the greatest pleasure.

520
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000
They came here wanting crockery catastrophe, but they got a bull ballet.

521
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
That was nothing like I imagined it to be.

522
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
In fact, I think we're going to have to just admit it.

523
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
It's a stupid saying.

524
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I'm never going to use it again.

525
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Bull in a china shop busted.

526
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Busted.

527
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It's busted.

528
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000
I think it's a gravy boat over there I want.

529
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Got it.

530
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Yeah.

531
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
But probably not lethal pastime.

532
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
That was fun.

533
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
But they ain't done yet.

534
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:54,000
There are a host of news reports and claims by fans that campfire conflagrations with beer kegs and aerosols are lethal.

535
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Exposure to temperatures above 120 degrees may cause bursting.

536
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Roll it.

537
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Here comes the bug spray.

538
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Go for it.

539
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Now it's possible you may ignore the warnings on the can.

540
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
This is the kind of thing I do on the weekends.

541
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Or you think the elaborate safety precautions are just for show.

542
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Let's give some deodorant to our robot and send him to the fire.

543
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000
But really, don't try this at home.

544
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
There we go.

545
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Perfect.

546
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Because seconds or minutes later and you won't know which this could happen.

547
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Oh!

548
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Where's the other one?

549
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,000
The other one's out front.

550
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Yeah!

551
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
That was awesome!

552
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Quite simply, it's the reason a myth buster gets out of bed in the morning.

553
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Oh my god, that's like, it doesn't get me better.

554
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Oh, it's staying in frame.

555
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,000
It's cooperative.

556
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
But what about the myth?

557
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Would these fireballs be fatal?

558
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Well, I don't necessarily think it's lethal.

559
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
It's definitely took a while to happen.

560
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
So you might think, oh well, I guess nothing's gonna happen.

561
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
And come back over and hear, boom!

562
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
All of a sudden your head's in a fireball and you're missing an eyebrow.

563
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
And I know what that's like.

564
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Am I missing an eyebrow?

565
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Next up, I think though, we're gonna go to the main big source fire instead of a small one here.

566
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Because I got something really big to surprise Jamie with.

567
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Bullets and paint cans aren't good enough for you, huh?

568
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000
No, we have something else that people have thrown on a campfire.

569
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,000
What's that?

570
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Beer keg.

571
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,000
It's a dangerous frat boy stunt and the fansites are abuzz with rumors that it could be lethal.

572
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000
And the myth busters are reaching to find out.

573
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Oh jeez, hold on, hold on, hold on.

574
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Dude, no, throw a full keg onto a fire.

575
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
It's just not gonna happen.

576
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Okay, here's what I'm envisioning.

577
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
It's the end of the night.

578
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
There's only like a quarter tank left.

579
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Beer's almost gone and it's warm.

580
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And they're all sloppy drunk.

581
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
And that's when someone throws a keg on the fire.

582
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
I throw the keg on the fire.

583
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
We need to get rid of most of this beer.

584
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
With the keg primed and ready to blow, Adam and Jamie turn their minds to safety.

585
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
The fire is really hot and this is not an undangerous thing to do.

586
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
But we have a couple of pieces of safety gear here.

587
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000
One, we've got the fire suit which can protect us from the heat.

588
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000
And the other is, over here with the Alameda County Sheriff's bomb squad,

589
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000
and we've got their bomb squad van, and in the bomb squad van is a bomb suit.

590
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Hell, people of Earth, I come in peace.

591
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000
So what we're gonna do is Jamie's gonna put on one, I'm gonna put on the other.

592
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000
And suited up in the bomb suit and the fire suit,

593
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
we're gonna go put that keg exactly where we want it.

594
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
This could be a huge explosion.

595
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
There's an awful lot of energy contained in that fire

596
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
and that energy is gonna be transferred to that beer keg.

597
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Yeah!

598
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
We need to be careful with this.

599
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Okay.

600
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000
This could go off right now or an hour from now, for all we know.

601
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
But that fire is hot.

602
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Yeah.

603
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Which means it's gonna bring the stainless steel to its fatigue point

604
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
and it's gonna build up a tremendous amount of steam pressure inside from the gallon of beer we left.

605
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Yeah.

606
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
So hopefully those two things will combine to make it go off within,

607
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I'm guessing, 20-25 minutes.

608
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Which as it turns out is a pretty good guess.

609
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Because 20 minutes later...

610
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Oh!

611
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Okay, everybody in close.

612
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Cave Shrapnel coming to us down.

613
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
It's the patented myth buster Big Boom.

614
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Oh!

615
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Yeah, it smelled like roasted grain.

616
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
That's pretty darned.

617
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
That's an explosion.

618
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
That was energetic.

619
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
No shrapnel though.

620
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000
No?

621
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Not that I can see.

622
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
A closer look confirms Adam's hypothesis.

623
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Because despite peeling like a metal banana, the keg is still in one piece.

624
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
As far as I'm concerned,

625
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,000
if any single piece of this actually, I mean...

626
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
That almost made it off.

627
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
That almost made it off.

628
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Any piece of this, especially this center cap, which really almost made it off,

629
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000
comes off of this with the force that we heard, it's tearing right through you.

630
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
That hits you in the head, you're dead.

631
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Hits you in the chest, you're dead.

632
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
That's nasty.

633
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000
An opinion not tempered by the slow motion details.

634
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Wow!

635
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Look at that!

636
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Talk about a beer shooter.

637
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000
That is... wow!

638
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
I tell you, anything in front of that beer keg are log, rock, a stone,

639
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
going to become a lethal projectile.

640
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
That was like a cannon.

641
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Alright, let's recap this.

642
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Things to throw in a campfire.

643
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
What is the case with bullets?

644
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Bad idea.

645
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Minor injuries, probably not lethal.

646
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Erisal cans.

647
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Also a bad idea.

648
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Also probably injuries, also not lethal.

649
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And beer keg.

650
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Bad idea to waste beer.

651
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Very dangerous, possibly lethal.

652
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
I'd say a high probability of being lethal.

653
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Yep.

654
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And never could I do to waste beer.

655
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000
So do you have a chocolate?

656
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
I thought you had it.

657
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Oh no.

00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000

And we found out that bulls are welcome in your wacky china shop.

663
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
