    If the caltrops were made of hollow tubing, then they eould be effective. I'm not sure sbout modern police spikebelts, but when they were first were developed, the spikes were hollow to that they would punch out small circles of rubber. This was to prevent a devestating blowout, but presumably also to ensure thay the tires would flatten quickly.

    One thing with air cannons is that they work on psi so the size of the valve is just as important as the pressure in the tank. A large valve can give a massive amount of power even with very little pressure. The famous nitrogen cannon actually was only as powerful as the chicken gun as it needed to be small enough to fit into a car. Therefore to get enough power the pressure had to be huge.

    The Spiketacks technically work, but realistically don't... They plug the hole and so the air gets out too slow, and the car's weight completely flattens them so they can't even add extra bumps on the tires to mess with turning.

And even today a professional GPS speedometer isn't going to give you better data then a laser timing the actual wheel 😂

    and its always these "make believe lies" look everybody , we really wanted to do it, but in the last second our insurance called and said, no way
    but one aspect that really nailed it for me, and just got cringeworthy for the last handful of years, were the reactions from Tori, Grant, Kari. that often were so fake & corny, overdramatic acting, and I know they likely dont do it on purpose, and perhaps down to some producer pushing them "to act excited" in the way to elevate the effect.

      Thats only if they had the same level of experience. Which I'm pretty sure isn't the case here. Adam only had 10 years or so at the point Mythbusters started, while Jamie owned the special effects shop the show was filmed in. So Shared 30 Years is correct.
