Mythbusters Bullet Baloney Photos

One of the better ones lst night, don't think this is a repost! Bullet Baloney Photos http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/photos/mythbusters-bullet-baloney-pictures.htm

Shoots in vacuum, hot oil and best of all a 10/22 bent 180 degrees! I'm surprised the bent barrel didn't collapse the bore too small without using a tubing bender. They DID lose some MV but not all that much. Pretty cool show!

I know im a geek but I love mythbusters!

Lots of neat things tested.

 

[BlackBart]

Yeah, talk about THE job supreme to have. They get paid LOTS to do that stuff!

If I can't do that I wanna be the next ChumLee.

And Kari isnt hard to look at either.

Nope, not at all but I best leave that alone. Megyn Kelly would never understand.

I will never look at water heaters the same anymore. ;-)

My kids and I love that show. They watch it all the time on Netflix without me though I went to their live show which was just ok. I don't really know what I was expecting though. I like the gun and car/truck myths the best. That wedge thing they put on the truck awhile ago was wicked.

Rawl......

Can you ask her nicely to jump up and down, maybe stand on her head????

 

[remrug]

Got to admit...thats not too flattering for her.But alot better looking than the other two.

 

[stu929]

Its not the best look for her but in her normal clothing shes pretty cute.

One of the best featuring Kari. Not only is she cute as can be, she sure is a good sport, too.

The Germans during WW2 had a trench machine gun that had a bent barrel so that they didn't have to poke there head up to shoot. They filled the barrels with sand under pressure before they bent them to keep the bore round . They worked very well ! And if I remember correctly they also made a bolt action rifle the same way.

Seen that before.... they used nothing in this case, just cherry red heat. Bore did not close, rather surprised me since I made many a aluminum and stainless aircraft tubing sections. Benders were a must for most serious bends.

Again, even on the 180 they only lost maybe 10% MV, pretty surprising.

Love the show. Sometimes i wish they were a bit more scientific... but I still would KILL for a job with them!!

I have not experience with this. I get the point of a bender (guessing it goes inside whatever you are bending and prevents the internal diameter from changing), but what is it/how come it it doesn't also collapse? Just trying to visualize it.

Here's two, 1st very similar if done right the radius won't crunch or flatten out. The other a bit more serious. Large stainless cannot be done unless maybe by Hercules.
Back to the rifle... amazing it didn't close... maybe because of the heat???
Some of the large powered ones have a jig that you place the old one in and it duplicates the original, kinda like a key machine.
