Can Cartoon Tricks Actually Work In Real Life? | MythBusters

The fans sent their complaints, the Build Team listened, and then showed up with a 19th century Damascus-welded double-barrel shotgun, pre-WWII steel hammers, a new rifle, and a ballistic gelatin finger to settle the three most contested myths in Build Team history once and for all — the finger-in-a-gun-barrel split the barrel exactly as cartoon physics predicted, the pre-war hammer chipped and cracked under superhuman force before snapping at the neck, and the mad trombonist's mute still couldn't knock Buster off his feet no matter how many model rocket engines they stuffed in there — three rematches, three verdicts, and one very clear message to everyone who said MythBusters did it wrong: they heard you, they came back harder, and the science still wins. Subscribe so you never miss an experiment:    / @mythbusterstvshow   Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
