When I was younger, I'd laugh at Adam's silliness and wonder why Jamie was always so serious. Now that I'm grown up, I can't even imagine having to listen to that pirate voice all day.

Was going to say something along those lines. The guy is one of the best for the special effects industry and has a huge understanding of all things engineering. Then he makes a total A&& out of himself with stupid antics and costumes that really are not needed to really present the ideas and materials. I had to fast forward past the bulk of these episodes when he starts acting like am immature dingdong.
Tori was just trying to be funny here. No one will ever know exactly when they'll die the only consultation is we all have to face it. Dying at 50 vs 80 makes no difference when you're there
Myths like these are made for mythbusters .its fun to see them take on the challenge of myths like this .to a large point myths from movies an tv shows an history was the bead an butter of myth busters .
Yes it was. If I remember correctly, navies in the age of sail would use chain shot ( two medium size cannonballs with a length of chain in between ) to damage / destroy the masts of enemy ships.
Pirates weren't known for cleanliness, and i imagine wine bottle cannon shot wounds would infect. Love your work, as always. Some of the best science recorded for television.
17:12 I’ve been watching this since I was young enough to not be left home alone and this is probably the first time I can remember noticing the “years of special effects experience” they reference in the intro coming into play! ❤

My husband is an editor, and I used to not like him ‘ruining’ movies by showing how they worked. Now I find it fascinating! I think it’s really fun how editing messes with your perception of reality.
I mean chain shot was an actual type of ammo used. granted it was mainly used to destroy rigging but clearly would do damage to people if your clearing the deck
I love that Kari is quoting Shel Silverstein’s I’m Being Eaten by a Boa Constrictor: I’m being eaten by a Boa Constrictor, a Boa Constrictor, a Boa Constrictor. I’m being eaten by a Boa Constrictor and I don’t like it one bit Oh no, it’s up to my toe! Oh gee, it’s up to my knee! Oh my, it’s up to my thigh! Oh fiddle, it’s up to my middle!

The curators of the Swedish ship Vassa built a replica section of her hull with the proper sized timbers. Then they ordered a 20 lb bronze cannon and took them both to the Bofor's proving range. The splinters off the replica hull would have been devastating to any crew not directly in the line of the cannon ball. Think flying baseball bat sized splinters.
@@shoopmahboop1374 I know wooden spoons probably date back extremely far. I heard that pirates mainly ate hardtack, having meat vary rarely. Food selection wasn't great on the high seas is all I'm saying. I can see that kind of utensils being common amongst the masses, but Pirates where limited to food that was slow to spoil.
Just for the record you can walk on the bottom of a lake with a barrel over your head creating a pocket of air. My Grandfather and his brothers did this back in the 1940's in the detroit river. My one Uncle sadly passed during this crazy event but its is possible just extremely risky.
True but there's a difference between a barrel and a boat in terms of bounancy still really cool story would have in interesting if they testes that too.
Oops we shot a few houses with that " experiment " lol. We all remember that. Right 👍. I don't know what I would think if I had a cannonball come through my house
The original boat stunt was performed in a Burt Lancaster movie when he used aboat with his mate to escape underwater. I think it was named Scarlet pirate, or pirate some colour
29:00 they really should’ve done this test against wood, but I suppose the silverware and nails wouldn’t have made it through. And they already prove splinters don’t do anything. But I feel like that’s where you’re trying to damage a ship the most is in its wooden parts. You’re not trying to scrape shots just above the top deck.
One of the few times I saw Tory genuinely uncomfortable on the show. Normally he's mr tough guy daredevil, but being buried in sand made him change his tone real quick.
Think Adam was onto something with the extra weight thing, but didn't take it far enough. I bet if they had attached enough weights TO THE BOAT it could have worked better.
It's rational that pirates would need to tie up the person they bury just to get them in the sand in the first place. I don't see why they would untie them when they finish burying them. Escaping would be a lot harder bound and buried.
I mean, they could have attached weight to the inside of the boat; just enough to make it slightly less than neutrally buoyant, but that would have made it impossible to carry to the water. I still feel like they should have addressed it, though.
THE SAND NECK TYE WOULD BE DONE RIGHT ON THE SHORES EDGE> Not only that but the sea would be coming in< and the sand would be heavy and wet< MAKING IT FAR HARDER TO GET OUT. You would be dead if you could not get out in less than his 86 minutes.
"Kids" now a days are talking about Adams voice n stuff...but I am thinking about the times when rounds escaped and went.... in those days what would be known as viral... due to escaping and tearing up homes quite a long distance away.
It doesn’t matter. The weight needed to be greater than what would the boat normally drown. Even a small boat would require a huge amount of force to counteract the buoyancy
How easy is it to escape the sand when your arms are tied behind your back and legs likely tied together to boot since I doubt the victim willingly stood still while being buried? Most frequent improvised ammo would be the ballast kept in the hull to balance the ship. Sigh...and as usual, the Adam and Jamie demonstrate their total and utter lack of knowledge of firearms by not putting a wad of cloth or something else behind the silverware so as to ensure that the blast doesn't just flow right through the stuff - that's why the grapeshot was packed in a cannister with sawdust.
When I was younger, I'd laugh at Adam's silliness and wonder why Jamie was always so serious. Now that I'm grown up, I can't even imagine having to listen to that pirate voice all day.
I guess I'm still so young, I still laugh at it
I can only imagine if my least favorite coworker was doing a bit all day, I would lose my mind. I don’t even like to hear him cough more or less play a character
Jamie being fed up with it 2 seconds into the bit is why we love Jamie

Genuinely hits so hard in a post Grant world.
Jokes on us, he's in a better place😭😭😭 So glad we got him when we did🥲💔
It's sad in the first place that we're in a post-Grant world.

Years ago, I’m in elementary watching Mythbusters on discovery Channel before school now I’m an adult watching mythbusters on UA-cam before work.
Something about Adam’s gleeful laughter is so contagious. My cheeks are hurting from smiling so much!
I love Adam getting fully in-character as this growly-voiced pirate captain, and Jamie having none of it
Adam sounds more like a Warhammer ork then a pirate and i love it xD
I think adam would enjoy Warhammer alot
He sounds like a mugger to me
Maybe if we can together lad wez can conv him to join da Boyz and dress like a propa Ork and not a skinny hummi free booter.

So thankful for these episodes. My whole childhood
These full episodes are the best thing to watch on the second screen while working!
Chain shot was a thing, It had a small cannon ball attached on each end and put in a wooden form so it spread on firing. Nasty..
Yes it was. If I remember correctly, navies in the age of sail would use chain shot ( two medium size cannonballs with a length of chain in between ) to damage / destroy the masts of enemy ships.
You both are correct.
@slimnim1753 . Beside being a history nerd I have some nine pounder chain shot . It came in a range of sizes from musket to 18 pounder.
Yea bolo rounds
Grape shot was a nasty thing as well.
I'm watching this for Halloween and it's counting, dangit!
Me too
We're all pirates for Halloween tonight me hearties
Happy Halloween!
Pirates are a key costume
Ayooo day late but started this last night too LOL.
Pirates weren't known for cleanliness, and i imagine wine bottle cannon shot wounds would infect. Love your work, as always. Some of the best science recorded for television.
Adam immediately breaks character for how gruesome that chain was
Dude, chain shot was fuckin nasty. Like bar shot but way worse.
@Lil_Warrior_Princess dude nothing. I am a fellow princess
@Werewolf_Korra sorry, I have a bad habit of using that for everyone. But yeah chain shot was nasty stuff.
Dude isn't neutral?
seiing grant still hits hard
Oh geez we're up to his knees!!
Ahh fiddle were up to his middle!
Ohh heck were up to his neck!!!
😂😂😂😂
Kari quoting Shel Silverstein was my favorite part!
Now go look up The not So kid-friendly Shel Silverstein stuff. 😆
It's a poem called I'm being eaten by a Boa Constricter -- in the book Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Oh man... just watching Tory buried like that is making it hard for me to breath.... GASP. I would be freakin clean out.
Ive been binge watching mythbusters since ive found them on youtube, thanks for bringing me back to my childhood
Her face in the mini excavator is absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A pirate's favorite letter? You'd think it be R, but tis always the C.
Yea, I don't think that any pirate would of buried anybody alive without tying their hands up so they could not dig themselves out
“would have” is the appropriate phrase, not would of. If no one tells you, you’ll never know 🤷♂️

39:35 Kari and Grant have a genuine Wayne and Garth moment. Grant especially was channeling Wayne's World to a TEE. New favorite Mythbusters moment.

Adams face at 03:49 when he says "...in the swimming pool" is totaly epic.
Man the boat they got for the dhingy sub part was really quiet nice. Shame they drilled a hole in it.
thank you so much for uploading this
I mean chain shot was an actual type of ammo used. granted it was mainly used to destroy rigging but clearly would do damage to people if your clearing the deck
I’m pretty sure the prisoners in the sand would be tied up aswell
Also if they wearing some type of belt methinks they would maybe tie some rocks or wood to it
@@derekdreke4990 Very possible
Why add the cutlery backwards?.. just why?
47:50 Actually, a pirate's favorite letter isn't 'R'. . .
'Tis tha 'C'!
🥁🥁🥁
For the rowboat submarine myth to even work, you would need to be so heavy that you could sink the boat by just riding in it normally
That's a good point lol
Adam has always been my hero and this is why. He makes science and work fun
watching this while making a pirate hat for tonight!
As I recall chain shot was an actual thing in naval warfare back then.
It really is no surprise that the chain did that much damage.
Long Live the Pirate Republic!
RIP Grant, we miss you buddy ❤
UA-cam is getting stupid with the number of ads.
I love that Kari is quoting Shel Silverstein’s I’m Being Eaten by a Boa Constrictor:

The only thing that makes Jamie show emotion is Adam's pirate impersonation
Great job digging urself out of the sand! Happy Halloween to The Mythbusters team!
Well of course the grapeshot is deadly! lol. It's specifically meant for clearing the decks of crew.
47:24 And The Chain Reaction is also RECYCLABLE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The glass may not be lethal, but it could definitely take an eye or two.
I definitely had a strong pucker factor with the buried in sand bit. Multiple people die every year doing that.
25:17 Jamie’s brain just broke at all the possibilities 😂
Chain shot was used for taking down masts, sails, and rigging.
When Jamie said peg leg I immediately thought of zip ties and bias plys.
"I'm Being Eaten By a Boa Constrictor." -Shel Silverstein
34:54 Dudes, this shit is so hardcore XD Steak knives flying at the speed of sound XD
Adam's way too proud of his pirate accent here. I just can't with this one.
Would a high speed wiggle get one out of wet sand? Like reverse quick sand?
youtube before youtube.
"Stop doing that with your hair its creepy" 😂
The curators of the Swedish ship Vassa built a replica section of her hull with the proper sized timbers. Then they ordered a 20 lb bronze cannon and took them both to the Bofor's proving range. The splinters off the replica hull would have been devastating to any crew not directly in the line of the cannon ball. Think flying baseball bat sized splinters.
would pirates even have silverware? unless it was just stolen from the rich, it wasn't a common thing then.
The would have tin or lead forks and spoons, silverware is a general term nowadays but eating utensils were common and metal ones were fairly common
@@shoopmahboop1374 I know wooden spoons probably date back extremely far. I heard that pirates mainly ate hardtack, having meat vary rarely. Food selection wasn't great on the high seas is all I'm saying.

Why didn't the 3 stooges figure that the sand necktie victim would most likely be bound, at least the hands🤷🏼♀️

Oh we need The Slow Mo Guys to record this chain coming out of the cannon.
I'm curious if a blank cannon load would be lethal because of the pressure wave.... IDK if it would be deadly but it would probably suck. 😂
One of the few times I saw Tory genuinely uncomfortable on the show. Normally he's mr tough guy daredevil, but being buried in sand made him change his tone real quick.
more more more please 🙏🏽
Think Adam was onto something with the extra weight thing, but didn't take it far enough. I bet if they had attached enough weights TO THE BOAT it could have worked better.
The other problem though, that they didn’t address, is that increases the difficulty of moving the boat.
It's rational that pirates would need to tie up the person they bury just to get them in the sand in the first place. I don't see why they would untie them when they finish burying them.
Escaping would be a lot harder bound and buried.
I still have a problem with the hydrogen car they didn’t put any electrolyte!!!! When I saw that as a kid I knew it was a mistake
I mean, they could have attached weight to the inside of the boat; just enough to make it slightly less than neutrally buoyant, but that would have made it impossible to carry to the water. I still feel like they should have addressed it, though.
I'll be honest in close proximity anything coming out of a cannon in the receiving end is not gonna be a good time 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
47:02 No high-speed shot of the chain going through the pig, eh? Maybe that would've been too hot for Discovery Channel.
5 gallons of air is about 50 pounds of buoyancy.
You'd think a pirates favorite letter would be R, but actually it be the C.
I probably didn't get the special effects joke as a kid even though the show literally opens with them saying they have 30 years effects experience
46:07 Poor piggy pulling Gus Fring

I think the boat Adam and Jamie used was a lot more voluminous, and a lot lighter than the boat in Curse of the Black Pearl

Also depends on how hard they packed in
I mean, a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, on top of the weight of the sand and the increased viscosity of the medium.
There was a video of a man who’s boat sank and they found him alive in a tiny air pocket in the boat on the bottom of the ocean
I would like to see them challenge digging a human deep hole in wet sand. It is near impossible to dig a hole at the water line.
Gore Guts Savage. Waaaagh!
The real champion here is Jamie. Putting up with how annoying Adam was in this episode.
