Do it now. 584 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720 So Roger fills the chamber with pink noise. 585 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,720 That's a whole range of different frequencies blasted out together. 586 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,720 It's like an earthquake. 587 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,720 And the volumes cranked way up to 150 decibels. 588 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,720 It's the speaker moving, and it looks like it's vibrated, but the pin doesn't look like it's separate. 589 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,720 Yeah, it looks like the whole mechanism's moving, but the pin is not going up and down. 590 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,720 Yeah, still a little hard to tell. 591 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,720 What is accelerometer reading? 592 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,720 It's responding about the same at all frequencies. 593 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,720 What does that mean for us? 594 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,720 Well, it's not resonating it, it's moving, but it's not resonating at any one particular frequency. 595 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,720 The pin hasn't moved inside the housing. 596 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,720 That's good news for the Russian mob and a kick in the pants for the myth. 597 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,720 But maybe testing the pin alone wasn't the best plan. 598 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,720 So I put the gun back together. We've loaded it with the blank. 599 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,720 I have the gun pointing nose down with the safety off. 600 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,720 That way it gives us the best possible chance for this gun to go off accidentally. 601 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,720 Okay, hit it, Roger. 602 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,720 Bring on the noise. 603 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,720 That is menacing. 604 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,720 And this is with the safety off, so it's giving it the best possible chance, but still it's not firing. 605 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,720 Yeah, if this happens at all, it should happen fairly quickly, and it's not happening. 606 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,720 So Roger pulls the plug. The resonant frequency theory fails to fire. 607 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:18,720 But if you think it's over, if you truly believe we'll end this myth with a shameful shutter, you so don't know this show. 608 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,720 Next up, the boys turn chicken for a science. 609 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,720 Oh, oh, oh. 610 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:43,720 Adam and Jamie have decided to see for themselves if holding a huge handgun the wrong way could really blow your thumb off. 611 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:49,720 This myth is all about escaping gases, some of which propel the bullet out of the barrel, 612 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,720 but some that escape right here from this tiny little space between the cylinder and the barrel. 613 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720 It's those that could cut your finger off, man. 614 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,720 Or so the story goes. 615 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:07,720 Despite the high-speed gas shots and a shocking photo of a severed thumb, Adam thinks this myth is, well, a myth. 616 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,720 But Jamie begs to differ. 617 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:18,720 When I first heard about this story, I wasn't so sure that a revolver would be capable of blowing your thumb off through the side like that. 618 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,720 But having a review of the high-speed footage, I kind of think it will. 619 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,720 The gun is firmly secured in a clamp that's screwed down tight to the bench top. 620 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720 Now all they need is a stunt thumb. 621 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,720 If you think these look gruesome, you don't know the half of it. 622 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,720 But the best way to tell you how these are made is to show you how they were made. 623 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,720 I remember it like it was yesterday. 624 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:51,720 Faced with the task of replicating that miracle of evolution, the human hand, the mythbusters' first thoughts naturally turned to dead chickens. 625 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,720 By the way, I touched this chicken before I touched anything else. You want to take the meat home? 626 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,720 Adam stripped a whole cooked bird. Not for the meat, but for the bones. 627 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,720 He traces a template over his left hand and even marks the three joints in each finger. 628 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,720 I managed to get almost all the bones I need out of a single rotisserie chicken. 629 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,720 Jamie's building his own version of a stunt hand, also made entirely from poultry pieces. 630 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:25,720 And while Adam sutures a carefully crafted left thumb, Dr. Heidemstein shows he's lost all sense of proportion. 631 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,720 It's actually the left hand, you know, that's the thumb and the four fingers. 632 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,720 And I picked them so that they're the correct lengths and everything. 633 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,720 Do we have a show of hands? 634 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,720 As the dominant hand, Jamie's massive mitt of chicken meat gets to take the first shot. 635 00:30:50,720 --> 00:31:00,720 It's wired securely onto the gun butt with care taken to place the thumb in precisely the right, or rather the wrong, position. 636 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,720 I love it. Alright, let's do it. 637 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:08,720 It loads the gun and cocks it. With the trigger tied to a string, all Jamie has to do is pull it. 638 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,720 The gun is hot. You're good to go. 639 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,720 And gun horror in three, two, one. 640 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,720 No decapitation. 641 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,720 Definitely damage, but yeah, it's still there. 642 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,720 I think that your drumstick bone is way too robust for a human hand. 643 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,720 What I see on the chicken hand and what I see on the high speed is that the gases are coming out and they're definitely having an effect. 644 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,720 I have no doubt you'd be burned by this, but I don't see any decapitation. 645 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Lucky Jamie's skin is thicker than the chicken's. He's even prepared to offer some sage advice. 646 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,720 The major amount of gas is right out through the metal there. 647 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,720 Okay. 648 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,720 So if you want to be sure it cuts it off, that's where to put it. 649 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:52,720 Alright. Here we go. 650 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,720 Adams anatomically accurate avian appendage in three, two, one. 651 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,720 To the naked eye, this looks like real damage. 652 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,720 Now for the expert analysis. 653 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,720 Okay. 654 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,720 Wow. 655 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,720 What Adam means to say is they've shredded one chicken finger and shattered another. 656 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,720 This one is torn to shreds. 657 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,720 What about that one? 658 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,720 That is cut almost clean through. 659 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,720 Wow. 660 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,720 There's no doubt about it. 661 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,720 Adams carefully constructed chicken hand at the right size bones to simulate human fingers. 662 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,720 They even had three joints right where they're meant to be. 663 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,720 That is totally clear. 664 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,720 Those gases have cut through that finger. 665 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,720 Absolutely. 666 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,720 That is one of the more gruesome things we've ever filmed on high speed. 667 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,720 Well, it doesn't get any more definitive than that. 668 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,720 Nope. 669 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,720 It's confirmed. 670 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,720 Totally confirmed. 671 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,720 Well, let that be a lesson to you. 672 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,720 If you've got to have a handgun, make sure you know how to use it. 673 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,720 I can't believe you can eat buffalo wings so quickly after that. 674 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,720 What do you mean? 675 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,720 I'm going to cook up Franken-hand for dinner. 676 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:06,720 Ha ha ha. 677 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,720 After failing to trigger these unstable Russian rifles with a red hot car stereo. 678 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,720 Not one round has gone off yet. 679 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:27,720 Carri-Torian Grant take one last shot at this myth with a truck that's tailor made to bump up the volume. 680 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:33,720 Now I know this car didn't do what we needed, but I think I have some renewed confidence in our backup plan. 681 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,720 Oh my God!
