And they say JFK 'back and to the left' motion after the head shot was caused by a frontal bullet from a small arm (rifle). LOL pity this video isn't titled 'How to debunk the Grassy Knoll Shooter Theory" so those conspiracy nuts on youtube can have some real education.
Also "bullet proof vests" are not actually "bullet proof" they are bullet resistant or in layman's terms they slow down or stop bullets from .22 cal to .44 magnum. And for that class IIIA small arms vest to stop a shotgun or a 7.62x39mm it better have ceramic plates or 3" thick steel plates.
Firs of all I love Mythbusters, but a .50cal standard ball round will punch through 1 1/2" plate steel wit no problem... And don't get me started on anti armor and anti personel and anti tank, ect.........No it wont blow you throuh the air if you are wearing armor cause its a .50 cal and will cut you in half and leave a red stain. Its a .50.cal......7.62x39 will throw you through the air if you are wearing armor, but only if you are wearing ceramic armor plates.
an average bullet packs just over the punch of a heavy baseball bat, high cal rifles are like being hit with a sledgehammer it just does it in a very small area so it penetrates and you cant knock someone flying backwards with a baseball bat or even a sledge hammer
( though you could plausibly knock them over )
for this myth to be true, people would have to have titanium skin and weigh around 1/8th of what they actually do
so on the moon with body armour you may have a chance.
i must punch harder than a 50 cal bullet by your reckoning, because i can overcome the mass of a desk chair with someone on it and push them around with ease as long as i am not also fighting gravity
i would likely break my hand if i tried to punch someone up into the air!
your weight, mass and friction hold you down on earth, i guarantee you just your mass alone will not stop you if you get shot in low or zero-g, you will still be pushed around even if your mass is fairly large
@nedlee1 go watch some videos of astronauts in the space station and you'll see how little energy they expend moving around up there, once you take weight out of the equation overcoming just your mass is pretty easy, they can move themselves backwards just by pushing buttons on a console over-zealously
@tinky626 Deer will jump eight feet high if you sneeze at them. That's what happens when bodies are struck by bullets too. They jump involuntarily from pain and shock. Don't be an ignoramus. Smarter people than these have done the math and there's no room for error.
@ppitm i have shot deer with 300 magnum 25-06 and many other size rifles they do not do anything but jump in the air from shock and run away or fall over dead on spot i have also filmed many hunts i will post some of my hunts people or deer do not lift off when shot , hogs, deer, mule deer i have shot none have ever got lift off lol

that's kari,she's always on the show...the proof that they are right,all you have to do is watch a movie that they are trying to make as real as possible,you will notice that no one goes flying through the air when hit.proving that movie makers even know this is crap
@britoca That's logical, but that's not the point of Mythbusters. It's for a general audience, and it's entertainment. And as the general audience is more entertained by seeing something happening than just by hearing the equations and facts behind the myth, I say they hit the point pretty well.
@darksaiyan2006 yes, but it's advertised as science and being scientific, well, it's neither. Then you have kids choosing a science career thinking it's just a life of partying and hanging out and... disappointment
@britoca Like Adam said, they didn't set out to make an edutainment program. If they had done that they wouldn't have lasted this long.

@392redienhcs yes, but it's advertised as science and being scientific, well, it's neither. Then you have kids choosing a science career thinking it's just a life of partying and hanging out and... disappointment
why not just use something free standing, and they are not thinking about the transference of momentum from baseball v bullet. this kind of poor planning is why i dont watch this show. I may only have a masters in physics but i mean god damn. yes the math shows a person won't be pushed back. but that's no excuse for bad science.
@newera4my Actually you're close, pshycological conditioning from TV has actually caused some people to go down when they get shot and think they're going to die. Some people even go down thinking they've been shot when they've been missed but... A determined attacker or someone with a strong will to live will almost never go down unless they receive an actual debilitating hit like a shot to the pelvis or head. Even if your heart is destroyed you still have about 15 secs of blood in your brain.
@BHarris25 That's still plenty of time to do harm. Just because you've been shot doesn't mean you die, in fact your chances of surviving a gunshot from a handgun are about 80% so if you get shot just keep fighting.
@BHarris25 If your heart was destroyed you would go into circulatory collapse and massive shock. You might still be alive for 15 seconds but you would only be aware for about 0.2 of them, certainly no fighting back. Not unless you were in a film
@erazor49 So you've never seen a deer take a shot through the heart and still run 100 yards? I've read a lot on ballistics and the only way to immediately incapacitate someone every single time is a shot to the head. Some people just have fight left in them and they don't go down right away. Google the miami shootout and read the after action report, very interesting.
there are things that the mythbusters didnt think of 1st the steel rod made buster fall on the ground more rapidly than he would without the extra weight 2nd the last wepon was to powerful because the steel plate didnt take the full energy of the shot the bullet went trhough the steel plate 3rd like the rod wasnt enough weight they needed to add more weight by adding a stell plate i cant say that its busted but i cant say that its confirmed
armandux1productions It's busted because if the 50 cal will go through a bullet proof vest, half inch thick piece of steel and lodged in buster's spine. If it will do all that it will (and has) go straight through organic material and demolish all the tissue it encounters, so there is no possible way a human can withstand ALL of the bullet's kinetic energy. In other words NO WAY IN HELL.
@armandux1productions read up on some physics. Gravity works the same no matter what the weight. The only thing that can slow an object down from falling at the normal 9.80665 m / s2 is air resistance.
It may not have changed the results, but wouldn't it have been a more accurate comparison to a real life situation if Buster had been on a stand that simulated him standing on his feet instead of suspended at his chest? The fact that he had to first slide off the rails, however slight, would alter the results. A stand that put him on his "feet" that would colapse once knocked off center would be a test closer to reality. JMHO.
Obviously not; but then again the kind of idiot who remains unconvinced probably wouldnt even know who Newton was, never mind understanding the 3rd law.
you mean to say he fell just like a normal non-dramatic human would?!? (the whole flying back after being shot thing was created for movies purely for dramatic effect.)
It just goes to show that it doesn't matter the size of the round, it makes no odds. Deformation of the subject will always happen to an effect relative to the mass and diameter of the projectile. Take it a huge step bigger and use a Howitzer round, the target will STILL not get blown backwards, the hole and respective damage will just get bigger. Any part of the target that is not being 'pushed' by the projectile, will just stay where it was.
thats why modern rifles have composite stocks that are able to "absorb" force and lessen the impact shock. Also, the real world is not a closed system. there are outside forces that influence factors. Modern firearms come with recoil springs and multiple methods of reducing recoil. It's true this will never happen, just informing you some more.
hey you guys ever notice that grant, tory and kari don't know what they are doing? they look like real noobs. Well not saying that they are stupid or bad or anything.. it just came to my mind because of the comments on mythbusters regarding these 3 people are all negative comments...
well they're doing things they've never done before and quite well id say.. If anyone of us were to do all this stuff we know not much about im sure we'd fail, repeatedly.
About this though, to think a small extremely fast projectile would knock you feet back is retarded..
Also bullets dont go through house after house after house, only 2 Maybe 3 walls. (depending on what kind of wall)
well obviously u no nothing about guns a ak47 assault rifle will knock a person back with one hit not flying backwards but enough to get him off his feet.
Also a sawed of shotgun is less likly to send someone flying than a longer barrelled shotgun, because that energy is lost a lot faster than a longer barrel where the energy is being carried longer and further in a certain direction.
Actually i had my facts wrong. the 50. cal doesnt go slower, a little faster than the 7.62x39.. was thinking of a different round.
Still, you seem like an one of those ace's(arm chair elitist) whos never really been out in the field nor know hands on knowledge.
Really, because i own a good amount and have had alot of training in firearms. Im also well knowledgable of the Ak-47 / WASR10 / GP75 and other variants.
The 7.62x39 is around 150gr and has a 1500lbs ft. lbs energy, and travels at around 2000 ft a second, here the 50.cal BMG round has over 16,000 lbs of energy behind it and goes much slower, 8-900 ft a sec. Why then did the .50 cal round fail to knock the dummy over is its so much more force and slower?
Close to every shot to the torso will knock you off your feet because of the sheer pain. A high-velocity piece of metal to your chest feels like it has a lot more stopping power than it actually does.
Pain usually causes the body to instinctly move away from the direction that the pain is coming from. Have you ever got a little electrical zap or burned yourself? You jump up and away from whatever did that to you. A bullet in your chest causes you to move backwards if you've been shot from the front for the same reason.
Someone said that an AK-74 would knock you off your feet backwards, I think, and I wanted to adress the fact that a shot by _any_ weapon knocks you off your feet like that because... you know.
They shot it at its very support with a steel plate and with a .50 BMG and it didn't fly back. How is making it even harder by supporting it by its base (which isn't realistic either, as noted by a previous commenter) going to help? They tried everything possible to make it fly back with a bullet.
For example a .45 ACP puts about 490 foot lbs on target (more or less depending on the exact round used and distance to target), while the .50 cal. they used puts about 11,000 foot lbs on target. If the .50 cal doesn't knock one back no other round would have a chance.
The fact is the power of any bullet hitting a person can not knock one back. Otherwise it would throw the shooter back further than the person being hit (muzzle velocity always greater than velocity/foot lbs at target).
Most people who are shot, jump or are knocked off balance causing them to fall backwards or even fall that far, i don't even see how this was a myth with all respect.
one variable that they fall to factor in is human shock. the shear shock of the bullet hitting a person could through them or they could be attempting to jump away.
You're missing the point of the crazy setup. They wanted to make it as likely as possible that Buster would go flying backwards. They did that so nobody could come up with a theoretical situation where he ~might~ have gone flying.
In an infamous shoot out in Miami on April 11 1986, two heavily armed criminals were cornered and out numbered by a team of armed FBI agents. During the shoot out two agents were killed and five others were wounded and both suspects were killed.
Both suspects was hit multiple times, were not knocked off their feet and continued shooting even though one had recieved a wound that would have eventually killed him.
If a man is full of adrenaline he can remain fighting after many hits.
yea but a 50 cal is armor piercing what would happen if you use a hollow point? it spreads and fragments at point of impact to maximize damage surface. but since mostly hand guns use hollow points and not assault rifles. i figure the same the armor piercing bullet goes right threw and a hollow point from a 9mm just causes more internal damage but a hollow point 50 cal might blow you away that or rip you apart XD Im leaning towards rip you apart my self.
i dont know why are people so interested in bigcalibers and big guns like the desert eagle (ego gun) limited in production and consumers normaly having dead brain cells to fire a fucking gun ment for hunting bears not fucking people or cans and thinking its cool because they fire the gun one handed they are all a bucnch pretenders and assholes.
I'm happy they went the extra mile to get the point across to the non-believers. People don't get blown away by a bullet (not even a fifty-cal), and if a bullet goes through the victim, even less kinetic energy is transferred from bullet to body (meaning an even smaller chance of being blown away. What CAN happen is that a person may be caught off-balance and fall suddenly with a little extra force from the impact, which may have been the origin of the myth. Gotta love this show!

People are absolutely stupid.
This myth is busted by BASIC PHYSICS.
If the guy getting shot is hit by enough force to fling him backwards, then THE SAME FORCE WOULD HAVE TO BE APPLIED TO THE SHOOTER.
damarei 2 years ago
thats why modern rifles have composite stocks that are able to "absorb" force and lessen the impact shock. Also, the real world is not a closed system. there are outside forces that influence factors. Modern firearms come with recoil springs and multiple methods of reducing recoil. It's true this will never happen, just informing you some more.

@damarei The recoil force is spread out over a longer period of time, though. So your physics are too basic even though your conclusion is correct.

hey you guys ever notice that grant, tory and kari don't know what they are doing? they look like real noobs. Well not saying that they are stupid or bad or anything.. it just came to my mind because of the comments on mythbusters regarding these 3 people are all negative comments...
victorishotandsexy 2 years ago
well they're doing things they've never done before and quite well id say.. If anyone of us were to do all this stuff we know not much about im sure we'd fail, repeatedly.
About this though, to think a small extremely fast projectile would knock you feet back is retarded..
Also bullets dont go through house after house after house, only 2 Maybe 3 walls. (depending on what kind of wall)

HanGookBoi 2 years ago
well obviously u no nothing about guns a ak47 assault rifle will knock a person back with one hit not flying backwards but enough to get him off his feet.
NEZx510 2 years ago
they need to get a sawed of 12 gauge and shoot that blow up doll 4 feet away and see if he doesnt fly.
NEZx510 2 years ago
Also a sawed of shotgun is less likly to send someone flying than a longer barrelled shotgun, because that energy is lost a lot faster than a longer barrel where the energy is being carried longer and further in a certain direction.
Actually i had my facts wrong. the 50. cal doesnt go slower, a little faster than the 7.62x39.. was thinking of a different round.
Still, you seem like an one of those ace's(arm chair elitist) whos never really been out in the field nor know hands on knowledge.
jmtcardinal 2 years ago
Really, because i own a good amount and have had alot of training in firearms. Im also well knowledgable of the Ak-47 / WASR10 / GP75 and other variants.
The 7.62x39 is around 150gr and has a 1500lbs ft. lbs energy, and travels at around 2000 ft a second, here the 50.cal BMG round has over 16,000 lbs of energy behind it and goes much slower, 8-900 ft a sec. Why then did the .50 cal round fail to knock the dummy over is its so much more force and slower?
jmtcardinal 2 years ago
@jmtcardinal actually a .50 bmg goes around 3000 fps and you are right about the ft lbs of energy

enough to knock him on his feet BECAUSE OF THE BULLET SIZE AND ENERGY BEHIND IT.
DeltaPhi79 2 years ago
Close to every shot to the torso will knock you off your feet because of the sheer pain. A high-velocity piece of metal to your chest feels like it has a lot more stopping power than it actually does.
SillyEagle1992 2 years ago
Make you go down to your knees but pain doesn't knock you over. This is about LITERALLY knocking you down. not figuratively.
DeltaPhi79 2 years ago
Pain usually causes the body to instinctly move away from the direction that the pain is coming from. Have you ever got a little electrical zap or burned yourself? You jump up and away from whatever did that to you. A bullet in your chest causes you to move backwards if you've been shot from the front for the same reason.
SillyEagle1992 2 years ago
Gotten both and i only pulled my hand away a little. The myth is that the sheer force of the bullet knocks you down.
DeltaPhi79 2 years ago
Yeah, I wasn't adressing the myth itself, because that's true, the sheer force of the impact of the bullet doesn't move you.
SillyEagle1992 2 years ago
LOL then what was the point? lol.
DeltaPhi79 2 years ago
Someone said that an AK-74 would knock you off your feet backwards, I think, and I wanted to adress the fact that a shot by _any_ weapon knocks you off your feet like that because... you know.
SillyEagle1992 2 years ago
I think you mean AK-47.
DeltaPhi79 2 years ago
Yeah right, wasn't sure anymore. Doesn't change the point though.

That wouldn't help.
They shot it at its very support with a steel plate and with a .50 BMG and it didn't fly back. How is making it even harder by supporting it by its base (which isn't realistic either, as noted by a previous commenter) going to help? They tried everything possible to make it fly back with a bullet.

VicFangio007 3 years ago 4
For example a .45 ACP puts about 490 foot lbs on target (more or less depending on the exact round used and distance to target), while the .50 cal. they used puts about 11,000 foot lbs on target. If the .50 cal doesn't knock one back no other round would have a chance.
The fact is the power of any bullet hitting a person can not knock one back. Otherwise it would throw the shooter back further than the person being hit (muzzle velocity always greater than velocity/foot lbs at target).

one variable that they fall to factor in is human shock. the shear shock of the bullet hitting a person could through them or they could be attempting to jump away.

You're missing the point of the crazy setup. They wanted to make it as likely as possible that Buster would go flying backwards. They did that so nobody could come up with a theoretical situation where he ~might~ have gone flying.

In an infamous shoot out in Miami on April 11 1986, two heavily armed criminals were cornered and out numbered by a team of armed FBI agents. During the shoot out two agents were killed and five others were wounded and both suspects were killed.
Both suspects was hit multiple times, were not knocked off their feet and continued shooting even though one had recieved a wound that would have eventually killed him.
If a man is full of adrenaline he can remain fighting after many hits.

yea but a 50 cal is armor piercing what would happen if you use a hollow point? it spreads and fragments at point of impact to maximize damage surface. but since mostly hand guns use hollow points and not assault rifles. i figure the same the armor piercing bullet goes right threw and a hollow point from a 9mm just causes more internal damage but a hollow point 50 cal might blow you away that or rip you apart XD Im leaning towards rip you apart my self.

gunlover1911 3 years ago
I'm happy they went the extra mile to get the point across to the non-believers. People don't get blown away by a bullet (not even a fifty-cal), and if a bullet goes through the victim, even less kinetic energy is transferred from bullet to body (meaning an even smaller chance of being blown away. What CAN happen is that a person may be caught off-balance and fall suddenly with a little extra force from the impact, which may have been the origin of the myth. Gotta love this show!
