    Season 4 would probably be one of the best seasons for me and the rest older. Why? It's because everyone actually works together compared later seasons where they actually ended up separated working on each of their own myths.
    More or less, probably one of the only other myths in the series where it got the 3 rating judgement. "Busted, Confirmed, Plausible".

    Surely the only way to shoot the bullet straight up and have it come straight back down - you would you need to be inside a very tall building as that's the only way to eliminate wind at the top of the bullets trajectory which would push the bullet into a parabolic arc 🤔

    • @pepebeezon772
      @pepebeezon772 4 дні тому

      It doesn't matter, it's dangerous when it's not fired straight up because there is very little X axis (side to side) deceleration, whereas on the Y axis (up and down) there is gravity that will completely strip the speed of the bullet before it's on the way down and therefore *falling* at terminal velocity. With wind the speed it can add is too negligible to have an impact, at least compared to the horizontal speed of a bullet *fired* in a ballistic arc which would be v*cos( angle to the ground).
      The 2 examples given are dogshit because a bullet that landed a mile away clearly traveled a long distance and not at terminal velocity.

    • @pepebeezon772
      @pepebeezon772 4 дні тому

      Also wind is not a constant acceleration unlike gravity, so even if an object spend hours in the wind it will not gather more speed. So in winds of 30 m/s, which is hurricane level, the highest horizontal speed a bullet fired straight up can possibly get from the wind is 30 m/s

    what about spin? Even a 9mm spins at 50000-60000rpm. Rifles can spin 5 times faster (part of the reason they fragment)
    They would still be spinning during free fall. Likely, not straight down, but tumbling much more.

    • @apawhite
      @apawhite 16 днів тому +14

      Well no, he gave examples that seemed to match the arced shot that is explicitly not "firing straight up in the air". The fact that the Mythbusters team was unable to find any of the 30.06 bullets does suggest that people thinking they're firing straight up could still injure people, but there was no thorough proof either way.
      Also, remember that the semi-scripted on-camera interactions the Mythbusters have with experts are generally just snippets for TV (and often selected for ambiguity to preserve the 'myth'). Not only would I be stunned if that doctor hadn't asked for the previous experimental results and methodologies to give more specific answers, I'm surprised he didn't volunteer to join them for the salt flat experiment day.

Wadcutters are designed to cut a neat hole in paper, different boat tail designs are designed to have the longest possible stabile flight, lead bullets are cheap, copper and polymer coated to be cheap but not foul barrels, copper bullets are designed to not deform and stay in tact ...

    Why didn't they use the balloon to determine the wind speed up higher like at the peak of it trajectory and a bit lower and alter the aiming accordingly, i think that you could get the bullet to land really quite close to yourself with enough testing and repetition (even though wind speed and direction changes quite swiftly) and with a device monitoring the wind speed constantly i dare say you could make a pretty good estimate of where it might land and plan the test accordingly.

    That's so called expert is actually wrong about the bullets being lethal in terminal velocity. Bullets behaves like an arrow when they have been shot at angle.
    However if that angle is too sharp it will stop at air, it basically drops down with it's own mass without any extra speed and that kinda the thing with terminal velocity mass, drag and gravity.
