Although in Adams story Jamie was throwing beret randomly. However we can see that Adam gives a command and then Jamie throws it. Seems a bit different from what Adam was telling, but maybe some things were off camera and then they decided to shoot it.
@@teamscarletdevil6915 of course. But probably it was off camera. I certainly recall Adam saying Jamie was tossing beret at random. So I guess it happened next (it is to easy on command, but if Adam hits the beret when he is not expecting, then he can have it).
From experience of multiple episodes of Mythbuster, there's a second dimension to "safe": reliability. It is safer when you can reliably set off an explosive at exactly when the experiment needs it to go off. If it doesn't, then you'll have a live explosive that can go off at any trigger AFTER it failed to trigger on time, thus posing immense risk to the bomb tech to disarm it.
@@nickyoung9108 But there's no real way of disarming shattered triggered live grenades dude, at least not in the traditional sense of "disarming bombs". Controlled demolition is the only real possibility if that's even necessary (at least given how they always shot the fuse out of the grenade before it could reach the main charge, after which the explosive material is spread all over the ground making it much less dangerous).
43:50 It actually does make some sense if you think about it. Grenades are made to fragment so they are not going to be able to withstand a lot of impact without shattering.
There's definitely a random dude standing in the line of sight of the grenade beside the bunker at 35:08? Am I missing something? Edit: it's a cameraman but it really does look like he got lucky and didn't get hit by pure chance. He even steps in behind cover after it already exploded
He is filming also at 34:16 Worthwhile to remember that grenades don't have infinite range. Lethal range is about 5m and 15m to wound. It is possible to get wounded from shrapnel even farther away but the small fragments lose speed and energy the farther they fly. All in all, they have producers, insurance guys, bomb tech and whatnot on location so i doubt Mythbusters just gives finger to them all. What you see was okayed by them all.
I wonder if the 308 round could detonate the grenade while the spoon and pin are still in place. Also a very common hollywood trope - someone shooting a grenade on the opponent's belt and it blows up.
Only thing the pin does is ignite a "fuse" inside the grenade, nothing more. Fuse burns and ignites the sensitive detonator. The sensitive explosive in the detonator is separate from the spoon and the pin, it doesn't care what the spoon and pin are doing or where they are.
44:55: "...the 45mm round..."? Damn, this one would be the granate But really, you can nearly destroy everything going point blank with a shotgun 😆 They should have gone at least some ft away
I would have liked to see different types of grenades instead of always the same weird red ones. Not sure if the active explosive ingredient varies but since some can explode from shock it would be interesting to see if a bullet could trigger one even without a blasting cap. TATP for instance could explode from shock, but well, it also regularly explodes from normal handling so that stuff is not the most practical to say the least, but it's one of the most heavily used ones in terror attacks because it's so easy to make. So yeah, "Can you save people from a terror attack by shooting the bomb" might actually work, although I can completely understand why no sane person would like to build such a dangerous IED just for some Hollywood effect myth busting.
22:20 I might be wrong here but with actual bullets having a much higher velocity it would potentially be easier to hit a flying object right as you wouldn't have to lead so much?
not just higher velocity, they are just a lot more accurate. Paintball guns aren't very accurate, even at short distances the balls don't fly straight. You can see how weird they act in the air so even if you lead the shot perfectly it could still just not go where you aim
@@iggywow that as well yeah. Those little balls are hardly aerodynamic to stay stable with those speeds. It's funny how when you revisit Mythbusters after all those years you find a lot of flaws in their testing. Although most can be explained. Like this one where they where not allowed to fire a gun into the air on national television. Something that these days on UA-cam is hardly uncommon 😅
@@SyntheticFuture If you have seen a gun fired that does not have a rifled barrel it's also just all over the place. Yeah, I think they did a pretty good job on the core concepts though within the time constraints and regulations as you say.
22:50 Magazine, or mag, not clip. Clips are used to load mags (such as en-bloc, moon and stripper clips). Hollywood messed it up and it persists. Not a huge deal but a science show is a science show! If you empty your clip, i.e. fill your magazine, as the grenade hurtle towards you... It's too late!
I recall in one of his videos Adam was saying they couldn't get a hand on real grenade and they were usually using grenade body filled with c4 or similar explosive. Or was it that they didn't have permission to use one as intended (meaning pool the pin and throw)?
it's likely that later on they could no longer get the permission for the grenade after not just they but the insurance companies realised quite how sketchy an unreliable explosive like that was
The fact that Jamie and Adam can stand in front of each other with firearms, or can drive just past the other at high speeds, or stand below a crane operated by the other, shows how much they trust each other. Not friends my a$$! That was just for publicity, you can't go through what they did together and not call that a friendship. It's just a different type of friends.
They both explicitly said they aren't friends, they're just professional and didn't let that affect the show. Y'know, something that competent and reasonable humans do.
Trust and friendship are two totally different things. Adam has stated many times that they both thought well together and were well synced but on personal level they lacked the same "sync". While in work enviroment, we very often trust our co-workers and experience alot of things together. Yet, outside work we usually have different friends. Sometimes co-workers are friends outside work but it's not some rule written in stone. I've had lots of good co-workers who i trusted always and had fun working with but as time goes by and workplaces change, they are not in my life anymore. My friends still are.
31:27 Let me just wave this incredibly dangerous explosive around by the only thing stopping it from detonating😶 (and yes I know it’s probably inert, but you treat inert as real always with weapons)
11:26 I LOVE that noise. That is the best noise. No contest.
I think we found the most satisfying sound in the universe.
A wet Fart
I laughed a lot when I heard it. Truly awesome.
perfect the exploding cement truck but this a close second
"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"
35:08 Can we talk for a moment about that person just half protected by the container door, that's a Darwin award waiting to happen
Nah cameraman has plot armor but i was just about to say the same. How was that allowed
It was obvious I saw it as well and couldn't believe it, it takes almost 2 secs to fully disappear...
Just watched a video of Adam telling the story about shooting Jamie’s beret and how long it took him to get it…thanks algorithm!

@@d4slaimlessI mean Adam talked about the story only recently and the filming happened like 10 years ago. the memory could have deviated a bit.

Adam telling they use a blasting cap on the second granade because its safer. We can all see the first one destroyed the whole setup.😂😂😂

Failing to spot 45mm is pathetic
43:50

fun fact adam didn't get jamies beret until years later
Though I don't think Adam ordered him a new one, as per the deal
One thing this taught me is that if I have a shotgun in hand and a grenade lands at my feet, I'm shooting it with the shotgun.
"We love Banijay Science" we all say in unison
Though the audio may be outta wack sometimes, they're still posting great episodes of mythbusters. 🤩
I like seeing JD the bomb tech smiling 🙂 I bet he had a blast 💥 working with MythBusters man 😂

44:58 “compared to the buckshot, the *45 mm* round. . . ”😂😂😂 technically wouldn’t that be a grenade on a grenade!
27:15 LOL nice shot camera guy!

are you going to upload season 3?
LMAO The opening scene is great.
Please repeat the series!

I think everyone likes the mythbusters
4 double ended mags included will definately help.
That was very enjoyable! 😎
That paint grenade sound is hilarious
35:08" this guy behind the protected container, who takes cover while the explosion happens 😮
25:28 you can see 2 big pieces of glass flying in the ground, those would defitenaly hurt if it hit you 😅

Very funny what you guys call a "wall" building the safe into. :D Here in Germany, we build walls out of stones! ;-)
44:55 "the 45 mm round"
Paintball grenade says blugggy
Hey Guys,
It looks like your safe was embedded in PLYWOOD not gypsum wall board.
Not the right test.
Tory at 18:36 💀
And thats assuming yhe tank is acrylic, not glass but every fish tank I've owned used reasonsbly thick glass.
It is cool. For the price, they could stop with the unicorn effects plate and that horrible "Master" button.
That's wasn't bullet though, it's still plausible that Jaime's beret is bulletproof. Birdshot proof it is obviously not
I think I have a bomb in my alarm clock!
The bed experiment is invalid: it's done in open air. Inside a house, the pressure would be affected by the ceiling.
Is anyone getting toystory vibes from bomb baby
34,15 ish did he want to die???
thank you . ( 2024 / July / 17 )
Grand you still be mist 😢
Who was dumb enough to stand outside of the bunker when it went off.
Professionals make mistakes too 35:10
Not safe on top of these folks 29:36
Woohooooo
