367 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000 These are effectively like plain old bullets, and they'll penetrate quite well. 368 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Buckshot in three, two, one. 369 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 So, how did the buckshot stack up? 370 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. 371 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000 They almost all of them, if not all of them, made it through. 372 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Yeah. 373 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:10,000 With the buckshot penetrating with ease, the mythbusters can't help but take this one to the extreme. 374 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Both Jamie and I are now compelled to answer the following burning question, 375 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000 which is, how many pizzas does it take to attain something that is totally resistant to buckshot? 376 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000 And that's what we're about to answer. 377 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Call it random, but they pit 15 pizzas in five warmer packs against a nine-pellet buckshot blast. 378 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000 And Jamie's getting a real taste for it. 379 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000 One. 380 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 They unleash pure buckshot power. 381 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000 But did it make it through? 382 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000 Box number one. 383 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000 And what do you know? 384 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000 The buckshot cleared the crusts clean through to box number five. 385 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000 It didn't make it through the back. 386 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Wait, we got to open this up. 387 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Pizza number 14. 388 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Oh, it stopped. 389 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000 14 pizzas. 390 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000 So it kind of worked. 391 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000 The buckshot stopped at pizza number 14. 392 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 But would it sell as a bulletproof vest? 393 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Oh, check out my new bulletproof vest, man. 394 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Oh, you cannot mess with me. 395 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000 An animated Kari, Tori and Grant are putting Kill Bill to the test. 396 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000 They're trying to find out if you can cuff your way out of a coffin. 397 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000 And with punch data gathered from martial arts expert John Fitch, 398 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 next, the team needs a casket. 399 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000 And that's where Kari comes in. 400 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000 I'm going to make it as realistic as possible, so I'm going to use all the same materials. 401 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000 I'm going to make it all the same size. 402 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000 And then we can see for ourselves if we can punch through a real casket. 403 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000 It's three-quarter inch pine made to funeral and movie specifications 404 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000 and comes with a see-through side for testing purposes. 405 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000 Then there's the grave site. 406 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000 That's Tori's contribution. 407 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000 So I've come up with the design to test this safely. 408 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000 What I'm going to do is build a box that will hold the six feet of dirt. 409 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000 And then what I'm going to do is raise that up off the ground four feet with steel legs. 410 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000 And then what I'm going to do is put the casket underneath that box. 411 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Once I have the casket in, we have the dirt in place, 412 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000 and we can start testing whether or not it's possible to break through the casket 413 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000 and dig through six feet of dirt. 414 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000 More on that later, because right now it's on to the punch itself. 415 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000 With John Fitch unavailable, that's down to Grant. 416 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000 And no prizes for guessing his design. 417 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000 That's right. I'm going to build a robot. 418 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000 Using the robot will match it to John Fitch's punching strength 419 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000 and then try and punch for the coffin later. 420 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000 And thanks to the wonder of editing, it's a case of no sooner said than done. 421 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Voila, a robotic punching machine that can give the coffin a fearful coffin. 422 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 I call it the RoboFist. Here's how it works. 423 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000 First, air comes into the regulator, gets regulated to whatever pressure I want, 424 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:09,000 gets stored in air tank. Air tank goes to a high flow valve that lets air go really fast. 425 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000 That gets split into two tubes that go down to the bottom of the piston. 426 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Now, when those fire, these two valves allow air to come up very quickly and goes, 427 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000 very fast. Three, two, one. 428 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000 I think it's working! 429 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000 And that means RoboFist is ready for a test. 430 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000 And I'm just going to dial up the pressure until the robot can punch as hard as John Fitch. 431 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,000 Remember, even with a tiny three inch punch, John Fitch managed a whopping 1,400 pound wallop. 432 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Grant's going to have to match that exactly. 433 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Grant gets things rolling just short of 200 psi. 434 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,000 Here we go. Three, two, one. 435 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 And what do you know? 436 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000 You're beauty! 437 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000 So, at 185 psi, the robot is punching at 1,430 pounds, 438 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000 which is exactly the range that John Fitch can punch. 439 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 And it's punching at the right speed. 440 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000 So now, it's time to bring in a casket and see how the robot does against that. 441 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Next up in the Bullet Bonanza, Body Parts. 442 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000 What's up next? 443 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Well, people come in all shapes and sizes. 444 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 And the fans' next question to us is, 445 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000 is there a shape or size that could render someone bulletproof? 446 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000 I.e., could someone provide enough baddie tissue or muscle tissue 447 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 to where a bullet wouldn't get to their vital organs? 448 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000 I don't know why, but that's kind of twisted. 449 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Which means you like it? 450 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Yeah. 451 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Alright, back to the range. 452 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000 People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, 453 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000 but can you ever be so big, be it muscly or obese, 454 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000 that you can be bulletproof? 455 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Well, back at the range, knowing Jamie's fondness for lard, 456 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000 the boys are starting with fat. 457 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000 That is what is in your gut. 458 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Actually, Adam, it's what's in a cow's gut. 459 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Pure bovine blubber. 460 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Oh, yeah. 461 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000 To be at the correct consistency, 462 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000 the fat needs to be at human body temperature of 98 degrees. 463 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000 So, first up, it gets a nice warm bath. 464 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000 That is wrong. 465 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Wrong is right. 466 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000 But will this gruesome glup stop a bullet? 467 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Well, for Adam, the answer is fat chance. 468 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Yeah, I know what you're saying to yourself. 469 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000 I mean, after the, oh, gross part, 470 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000 you're saying this is stupid. 471 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Why would fat stop a bullet? 472 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Well, it's part of the tissue that make up your body, 473 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 and bullets aren't made to go through your body. 474 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000 They're made to expend as much of their energy in your body as possible. 475 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000 That's how they do their work, which unfortunately is killing. 476 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Thus, fat ought to do a pretty good job at stopping a bullet after a while. 477 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000 But how much fat might they need to stop a bullet? 478 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000 The record for the greatest gut ever was awarded to Walter Hudson, 479 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000 who had a ginormous girth of nearly 10 feet. 480 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000 That equates to a layer of 16 inches of fat right around his belly. 481 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 So, that's the number to beat. 482 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000 You ready to pack some fat? 483 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000 I don't like the sound of that. 484 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000 With no time to chew the fat, 485 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000 the boys load the 16 inches of lard into the dummy's tummy 486 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000 to replicate Walter's waistline. 487 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000 Now, you're going to need all the fat for this recipe, so don't lick the mixing spoon. 488 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000 The acrylic tube of fat represents belly. 489 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000 The tube of ballistics gel represents vital organs. 490 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000 For fat to be an effective bullet stopper, 491 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000 it's going to have to be stopped before it makes it through all of this fat 492 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 into the ballistics gel and the torso here. 493 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Is it going to actually do that? 494 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000 My guess is it might actually make it through. 495 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000 To ensure they hit the fat frankfurter head-on, 496 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000 they set up a remote firing mechanism, 497 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 laser-rained for accuracy. 498 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:16,000 And they're starting slow by using a 45 handgun that fires at just 900 feet a second. 499 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Which means, if this makes it all the way through our fat and vital organs, 500 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000 every other kind of round we could fire wood as well. 501 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000 In other words, if the world record amount of fat can't foil the slowest slug, 502 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000 it's Mayday for the myth. 503 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Eyes and ears, clear to fire. 504 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Firing in three, two, one. 505 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Well, nice clean center hit. 506 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Ah! It made it all the way through. 507 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000 So not only did the fat not stop it, the internal organs didn't either. 508 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 It went right out his back and kept them going. 509 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000 So there you have it. 510 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000 The idea that an obese human is carrying a homegrown bullet-proof vest is blown away. 511 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000 So the question, will fat stop a bullet?
