Doom takes place on Mars, which has 38% of the gravity that earth does. So, in reality they would be carrying all that equipment, but it would only weigh 30lbs.
it does make sense they would test with earth gravity though, seeing as the doom they're showing takes place in what i'm guessing is a pressurized space station
You could do it with paintball or air soft but make it like a video game with different levels and difficulty just need a few people who play paintball or air soft regularly to work for you and be the bad guys
25:46 Adam, unsteadily mounted on a tiny platform, shaking a katana (without a safety grip), with an unleashed competitive spirit, 1 meter away from 3 heads, 6 hands and 30 fingers. It's a miracle the afternoon ended without any misfortune.
Certainly a "fun" episode to see them horsing around but how any of this could be considered "mythical" i'm not exactly sure - I'm sure they could've asked any soldier if it makes a difference carrying all that stuff around. But then I guess Season 9 was maybe just them basically checking stuff off their personal Mythbusters bucket list because they knew it'll be the last season. Which is fine by me.
Every single episode of all seasons have covered topics that would be instantly answered by the right expert. You cant test actual "mythical claims" like the strength of a minotaur, the temperature of dragon-fire, or the hardness of the firmament. In several of the episodes they were just testing already documented scenarios. A couple of episodes back Adam even built a test-rig to compare the force behind a .357 round to a rock from a lawnmower. The .357 rounds force is literally printed on the box, and they had the speed and mass of the rock so they could just calculate the force in less than a second. Its an entertainment show, its not a science lecture. You basically cant use any of their conclusions for anything because all their tests are so flawed.
@@SirHorned19 Well, I would not say that everything they test is a new discovery for experts and scientists, but often they test things that are "common knowledge" or things seen frequently in movies which people believe to be true or at least possible, and not all everybody knows experts or bother to ask scientists if it really true, so they keep on believing "myths".

Well, good example is Lead balloon. Not exactly documented, but even without calculation you can tell that it is possible. However to actually build one of the reasonable size is not that simple. And it was very entertaining to watch.

@@BattleSpew Never thought about that... But to add to it, Doom 1's episodes take place in different places, although Doom 2 does bring it back to Earth... But for the very most optimal circumstances, Doom 1 Episode 2, taking place on Deimos, with some maths has apparently roughly 0.000306 times Earth's gravity.
@@Lagbeard Now I understand why in Doom1 you cannot jump. You (and all the demons) are magnetically stuck to the floor so if you jump you are not going to land anytime soon
Very cool episode , the Doomguy is the Doomguy , and i'm sure that if you added at the time the RPG and the BFG9000 , the time will be the same for i'm . and the guns normally should be slotted to is armor . I also like the fruit ninja , including the special version (to avoid spoiling ) .
I can't even begin to tell you how much of an OHSA nightmare the Fruit Ninja experiment is. Adam's sword is not tethered to anything but his grip while he's swinging it within proximity of three people six feet below him. If Adam lost his grip on the sword while swinging, it could have struck one of the three people.
There was also Duke Nukem which was well before Doom. There was a vector-graphics game in the 80s, called Tank Battle, which could also fit the description of first-person shooter.

Fabulous setting, but…You know the answer to this, at least for generic fps games, before it even starts. Let’s see….50 medipacks, 10,000 rounds. 30 grenades, body armour, side arm, combat shotgun, AK47 or Armalite, sniper rifle and 20 packs of C4. Now play it through on ‘HARD’ mode, where enemies don’t drop with single shot kills😂
And generally games have moved away from infinite inventory space to where character has room few guns (like Far Cry's and 3x rifle-sized weapons) and throwables. Less weapons means devs have more control on designing enemies in a balanced way and not make it lways a bullet hell.
@@alaric_Not the games I play, can't stand those annoying 'realistic' aspects. Look at Dark Souls or Elden Ring, I'm carrying literally hundreds of weapons, shields, armour sets and accessories. The game is all the better for it. Doom doesn't do it, CoD doesn't do it, Fallout doesn't do it, in fact I can't think of any games that do so no idea where you're getting it from.
They didn't put a lanyard of some sorts to secure the blade at his wrist? If Adam had let go of the sword at the fruit ninja test, one of the jugglers would have been toast.
6:05 Wow, the tech specs of the laptop really date the episode. Still can't believe the Last of Us came out at the same time this guy is using a GTX 670
they were really running out of myths by that time, didn't they. "oh there's a myth that carrying a ton of weapons would just be dandy" said no one ever
11:20 As much as it was a commercial failure, I still consider the Kinect and especially the Kinect 2.0 to be fantastic technology with a broad array of applications aside from just video games. It’s a shame they weren’t as open with the SDK and refused to allow third-party production of the special connector cable. I saw things in its prime of people making virtual instruments for blind/handicapped people all the way to using an array of them to control swarms of drones that could play catch…
I would like to see them try try running around with an almost full set of gear of DooM 2... The Rocket Launcher and it's 100 rockets would probably be a little too unreasonable, and I don't really know what you could really use an analogue for the BFG. But overall, A chainsaw, A Semi-Automatic Pistol, a Pump-action Shotgun, A double barreled shotgun, a minigun, and in place of the Plasma RIfle as we don't have those yet, just an Assault Rifle. And for the guns as well.
The dubbing over of Dooms in game sounds pleases me irrationally. Right back to my childhood. I think the best mechanic to deal with this problem is in the Boarderlands franchise. you start the game with only 2 weapon slots, upgrading to a total of 4 over the course of the game. the weapons are all dynamically generated, with variable stats such as power, accuracy, reload time, ammo type and capacity, gun type, elemental effects, aesthetics etc. trying to decide what to keep and what to drop is a major part of gameplay, your kinda hosed if you get into closed quarters and you only have a sniper rifle and an RPG for example. plus, it has a great sense of humour. one of my favourites is an exceptionally overpowered SMG that screams and insults you constantly. very nice to have, but having the thing screaming at you gets old fast. Easily one of my favourites.
Saying "First person shooters pride themselves on their intense realism." Is like saying "Apples pride themselves on being red." There's many different kinds of first person shooters, and the majority of them don't give a crap about "intense realism." There's absolutely NOTHING realistic about doom, and that's why it's so damn fun. On a side note, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure doomguy is quite a bit more jacked than the dude they brought in.
normally, doom wouldn't let you pick up a med kit or ammo box(es) if yer already at full health or full ammo. so, they could have gotten away with carrying just the guns. grab a med kit, and ammo box(es) (or switch weapon) when you need to. lemme at that fruit slicing in RL - that looks just plain fun!
"Today we are testing the myth that carrying heavy things makes you slower" "Tomorrow we will test the myth that if you stop breathing for too long you might die" Well done, guys. Another episode in the bag. Let's go home early.
Now admittedly this was shot a long, long time ago, but surely even then FPS only allowed a few weapons as they tend to do now? I think three is the standard load out in different calibres, like one pistol, one shotgun style weapon and one heavy weapon. Also the ammo and med packs get used up, so you're not carrying them all with you all the time through the game.
Yea they were testing the Boomer shooter tropes. Which was still entertaining don't get me wrong. And you would sometimes think, "where does Gordon Freeman fit all this stuff? He doesn't even have pockets!"
I'd have felt better if they'd gotten either a soldier or SWAT officer to do the test. Those guys are still really strong, but they would have approached it with more of the tactical element than the MMA fighter.
As s/o who grew up with the evolution of 1stpersonshooters, thanks for going for the one question that always nagged 😉 Still, I'm quite disappointed, they didn't take into account the weight of the ammo. Do I remeber correctly? There was a max of 200rds for each "bullet"-weapon (pistol, shotgun, minigun), plus rockets, plus whatever (plasma and bfg "rds"(?)). Weapons' bulk and weight on one hand, ammo's not to be neglected, either
Love to test the Wolfenstein ideology of a huge belt fed machine gun in each hand, firing effortlessly When Adam shouts "YEAH" during chainsaw minja, screen should have frozen and Jamie ought to have danced off screen. Oh Rayman
It feels so weird to watch Mythbusters out of order and jump from a show that was filmed on DV camcorders to a show with fancy motion graphics and stock footage of Halo: MCC and Evolve.
3 issues with the fruit ninja part. 1. not the same amount of fruit being thrown in the minute. 2. its fruit *ninja* , adam wasnt using a ninjas sword he was using a katana which is a samurai sword which is curved and heavier than a ninjas sword a ninjato which is straight and light weight 3. adam as much as hes used swords like in the star wars episode, is 1. not physically fit enough to stamina swinging a sword for a full minute and 2. not skilled enough with said blade as a swordsman
Still, after years, absolutely blows my mind they let Adam swing a sword around like that without any fail-safes in place THAT close to 3 unprotected humans 🤯 1 slip away from a death 🤪
Surface gravity on Mars is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth. So true doom guy would carry a heavy flashlight instead of a light headlamp.
I can imagine it is fun to replicate this DOOM environment etc., but I don't think it is a myth that needs to be busted. Because usually you have a myth that people believe to be true or at least accept to be possible, but I don't think there is a great percentage of gamers who think they could really carry everything they find with them in real life.
Never played final fantasy or minecraft or legend of zelda tears of the kingdom... carrying 99 potions, 99 ether, 99 remedy, 99 phoenix down, 12 suits of armor and 30 different types of swords without counting the monster loots... i mean a dragon head and a demon horn should be pretty heavy... ...ok for the 3 games is kind of cannon that the things become as small as a keychain medalion when picked up... but... still... carrying 99 bokoblins guts, 99 stalfoes horns and 99 inox toenail in the same pocket as the fresh coocked fish and mushroom stew... i dont want to know if hylians can smell or taste stuff...
I have the same model of Nerf gun they used for the heavy machine gun, the Nerf Vulcan. I still need to increase the power on mine and then mod a case for it to look like a Heavy Bolter...
Surprised he didn't know Wolfenstein was the first FPS, also this test would only really count for Doom III, real Doomguy is god tier and as much as carrying all those weapons wouldn't be realistic you can't really suggest where a God would holster his weapon or lift capacity.
Doom also runs on MythBusters... even if it's the wrong version.
sound effects are 11/10
Yeah come on, that's Doom 3, that doesn't count, it's like saying "I got a car!" while that thing in your driveway is a Rover
buncha fkkn losers
Doom takes place on Mars, which has 38% of the gravity that earth does. So, in reality they would be carrying all that equipment, but it would only weigh 30lbs.
Fruit Ninja would work better there too then!
Only the downward force is 38%. The weight of the acceleration in all other directions is just normal
it does make sense they would test with earth gravity though, seeing as the doom they're showing takes place in what i'm guessing is a pressurized space station
Yes it does but it also takes place in what you can assume are buildings on Mars because of the walls etc so they would have artifical gravity
Meh, their test isn't realistic at all, Brendan's cool but he's not a ball of unadulterated hatred!
I fully agree to The Hyneman stating that he would pay good money to actually play such a real life doom level.
I would do so too.

Shwaub is a great guy, never met him. He wanted a trugg wagg
This season had such a different feel.
lol… which quad core?670mx isn’t it for laptops?
They could had done the Doom course with a night vision or ceiling mounted camera, that ruined the mood.
These guys sometimes have a lot of fun
FPS games like Doom don’t have a “Carry/Weight Limit”.
Yeah the standard kinda dipped here "Is carrying more stuff harder than carrying less stuff?"
I wonder if this doom level is available as a mod somewhere?
Most fps games have a weapons cache that only allow you the ability to carry so much. Or you have to buy an upgrade to carry more.
this is the funiest thing brendan has ever been
Still, after years, absolutely blows my mind they let Adam swing a sword around like that without any fail-safes in place THAT close to 3 unprotected humans 🤯 1 slip away from a death 🤪
It's just jugglers.
I think the biggest myth is that the Doom video game cost only 25cents to play.
Yeah, never seen a coin op outside of the film Grosse Point Blank. You can pick up Doom 1 & 2 for a few quid on console!
Surface gravity on Mars is only about 38% of the surface gravity on Earth.
So true doom guy would carry a heavy flashlight instead of a light headlamp.
Didn't expect Brandon shaub to make an appearance
Maybe the space commando in Doom has a Tartarus device!
I can imagine it is fun to replicate this DOOM environment etc., but I don't think it is a myth that needs to be busted. Because usually you have a myth that people believe to be true or at least accept to be possible, but I don't think there is a great percentage of gamers who think they could really carry everything they find with them in real life.
" Stalker " was my game But started off with Doom
In doom you can carry up to 100 rockets if you have the backpack. I want to see em do that 😂
Video game physics does not apply in real life versions. Where else could you toss a tank? 😅😅😅
Imagine they did this when doom 2016 released, we couldve had BFG Division in mythbusters and peak Rip and Tear 😩😩
it hurts my soul that testing fps game realisim is tested on doom.. i feel physical pain
and then, carryweight capacity was added
Ich werd in Zukunft meine Spielfigur nicht mehr mit so viel Waffen ausrüsten.
Die Arme Spielfigur.😅
Never played final fantasy or minecraft or legend of zelda tears of the kingdom... carrying 99 potions, 99 ether, 99 remedy, 99 phoenix down, 12 suits of armor and 30 different types of swords without counting the monster loots... i mean a dragon head and a demon horn should be pretty heavy... ...ok for the 3 games is kind of cannon that the things become as small as a keychain medalion when picked up... but... still... carrying 99 bokoblins guts, 99 stalfoes horns and 99 inox toenail in the same pocket as the fresh coocked fish and mushroom stew... i dont want to know if hylians can smell or taste stuff...
Wasnt expecting Brendan schaub to turn up on this side of youtube
Adam Savage: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Brendan Schaub"
💀💀💀💀
I’m sad with all the fruit wasted.
Little mistake there. It was Wolfenstein 3D that came first as a fps game.
I have the same model of Nerf gun they used for the heavy machine gun, the Nerf Vulcan. I still need to increase the power on mine and then mod a case for it to look like a Heavy Bolter...
Nice episode
Surprised he didn't know Wolfenstein was the first FPS, also this test would only really count for Doom III, real Doomguy is god tier and as much as carrying all those weapons wouldn't be realistic you can't really suggest where a God would holster his weapon or lift capacity.
