Mythbusters - Bullets exploding on camp fire (Lethal Popcorn!)

[isamtator]

.22s went off first, then the .44s then last the .50s

[borderraven]

I was fishing at a lake where some campers packed up and left their site, and I heard loud BOOOM! On examination of the scene it was a can of beans left under the coals that exploded, sending shrapnel and burnt beans out, almost starting a forest fire.

4:44 riot shield

[wfvhhfhjf123456789]

chuck norris is jokes are getting lame

[ZtanleyXYZ]

I just wonder how they can make things like remote control car etc.

[thiskidcalledtom]

@jgeb21 they cant coz of health and saftey these days but i aggree

[tellep7]

Now put loaded guns into the fire lol

[jgeb21]

these guys took safty too far. a bullett needs the barrel of a gun to create enough preasure for the bullet to go straight and with a straight flight path. otherwise, you may get the bullet flying out, but it will just flop through the air

[jakthelombax]

what a bunch of pussies. just drop the damn bullets in the fire.

[spazztasticx]

You're basically getting what's called an "out of battery explosion". That happens when you eject a hang fire (slow burning primer, doesn't ignite the gunpowder) and it explodes outside of the chamber of the weapon.

Sure, the shrapnel is what messes you up in this case, but an OOB explosion has the hot gases exploding right next to you. There's a picture floating around of a guy who had a .50BMG OOB explode next to his hand and all I can say is it's not pretty.

[donnachoiz]

LOL the last second XD

[WildBuck007]

Chuck Norris snack food =D

[FrikkenChicken]

i love how that bullet interrupts him right when he points at 4:38 xD

[policevancan]

Jamie- "Why don't we unhinge one of the blast chambers and walk out with it."

Adam- "I feel like we can get close enough with this. The other thing is that...

*BANG*

...

Jamie- "Heh heh"

Adam- "Alright, lets walk with one of these ahead of us."

[ratom13]

i want a t-shit like that!!!!!

[AnimeFinatic7925]

HOT BUTTER BULLETS

[connerm191]

redneck firework XD

[minibikerider1]

this is so dumb a bullet with out a barrel of over 4 in or more is completely not lethal NOT

[nhonings]

@minibikerider1 ooh, so that's why my cousin died. the bullet in an open fire (6mm) penetrated his eye, and hit his brain. he died... I guess that's the same as... LETHAL

[scrubbyjoe1]

@nhonings im not affraid to be the dick yes im sure its possible but can you show evidence of this

[steve369ca]

@nhonings

needs tougher eyes

[wo0obly]

@nhonings unless a bullet is in a chamber, when they go off the energy isn't forced in one general direction so the bullet would just bounce or flip and roll. So i call bullshit. It wasn't the bullet that killed your cousin, it was 2% shrapnel, 98% absolute fucking stupidity for putting a bullet in a fire.

[wo0obly]

@nhonings and the fact that he didn't die cause your bullshitting.

[reddog418]

@nhonings Looks like Darwin took care of his ass. The world will have fewer retards that throw shit in a fire.

[Metadragon142]

-sigh- Do i even have to ask? Are people in this world so stupid that putting live rounds into a fire is a good idea to them? Really? We humans will really be the end of ourselves.

[Aitlec]

@Metadragon142 No, we won't ALL be the end of ourselves. Thankfully, when those that DO end themselves in such a manner occur, we have a word for that.

Natural Selection.

[Metadragon142]

@Aitlec ROFL

Yes, that is a very good point. :P

[itzdataznboi]

looks like Dun at the end o_0

[zupmarc36]

i want a hobo dinner

[RandomityISaGIFT]

6:33-6:34 LMAO

[ThiefOfMovies]

5:09 He giggles!

[eustispanther]

lol... next thing you know mythbusters is going to get sued bc they didn't expressly say don't put ammo in a fire and some dipshit is going to do it for fun.

[petapyro13]

Wut if some one thou a gun in the fire by accident.

[jeffrey7854]

this is sparky !! love it

[Ramzzy666]

lol at the end they miss out the fact they heard some fly past them? surely they would be lethal... O.o

[1111Davo1]

they really over-engineered this. They could have easily designed a 1m "slippery slide" that finished in the fire. Pull a string, which knocks a bucket full of bullets into the fire.

[13098519]

Now throw grenades into a fire

[Malachayas]

This myth is one of the rare occasions where Jamie is laughing.

[Clockninja]

that is dangerous, they shouldn't be that close.

[aldous0987]

[chaumonstr]

wait why would anyone throw bullets in a fire?

[headhunta36s]

That hobo dinner is pretty good for only being meat, potatoes, carrots and, onions :P

[alakiukirbo2]

6:22 - 6:34

I'm sure they were gonna throw that Last guy INTO the fire. lol

[Thunderchin]

3:26 - 3:28 needs to be a Sparta remix.

[filoIII]

Newton's third law states that for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a gun, the bullet fires just the same as in the campfire. The difference being the gun has mass the reaction is hitting against. The bullet has less mass than the gun, therefore the gun stays in place and the bullet flies out. To set off a round by itself, the bullet part has more mass than the casing, therefore the bullet, just like the gun, stays and the lighter weight casing goes flying.

[mansour86421]

@filoIII have you ever heard of recoil? this is when the gun is moving and why ppl get knocked over by shotguns, trust me, it dont stay still, 250 12 gauge shells and around 150 7.62s will tell you that

[DrAlfieGH]

No, "Epic meal time" is the best cooking show ever!!

I suggest u watch it

[firebug0001]

u can tell that they were never boy scouts cause they had to use a blowtorch to light the fire.

[str8out]

2:26 LMAO!!

[johnnyb1936]

word of the day: Ballistic Tipi

[MachineFight]

Thumbs up for the last second of the video :D

[MachineFight]

which season was this?

[DeerHunterification]

It didnt kill Chris when we did it, and he got shot like 5 times.

[AHGlasher]

I get a kick out of how us 'amateurs' have enough sense in our post to describe the item of focus here a 'shell", a 'round", or a 'cartridge' among others, but the 'pros' after all their experience continue to call the item of focus a 'bullet'. I wish someone would tell these pros that a bullet is nothing more than a chunck of lead often encased in copper. Oh well, at least we know the difference. yuk yuk

[TheSonicGod]

If only we could see what other things they threw into the fire... :D

[McMahonshaun]

the only reason i would live in america is to shoot guns!!!

[armywife012205]

@McMahonshaun It's fun! :D

[bigshow1fan]

this would be the best job ever!

[nowtrams]

THIS IS SPARKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mad6155]

that is is ........................ AWESOME

[obeyance]

To all of you that are making comments about using shotgun shells, heres some food for thought.

Rifle and pistol ammo is in a brass or steel casing with a slug on the end sealing it. Shotguns shells are 99.9% of the time made of soft plastic with just the plastic casing itself covering the sabot. The shotgun shells would do the same thing as these with one exception, the expanding gas does not have to work as hard to rupture the caseing. So your theory that a shotgun shell would do more is wrong

[hellfighter496]

these guys....and girl are CRAZY!!! 0X 0X

[FuzorDragon480]

@hellfighter496 So is youre mom, Just kidding LOL

[jacoblewis100]

try a shotgun shell then someones gunna die

[superyoshi625]

This is Sparky!!!!!

[FlyingAce1015]

yay hobo dinners :D

really good with A1

[YodaOwns]

of course a live revolver in an oven would be fired.. the primer isnt heat resistent or covered

[2line1]

adam got fat x)

[MicrowaveDisplaycom]

See Newton's second law of motion. :D

[thesonofabob]

2:00 Adam is awesome!

[TechnologyGod]

When I was in Iraq we had a controlled munitions burn along with a bunch of other equipment we needed to "de-mil" and I can tell you this there were some tracer rounds that fired off from a sunk in 20ft deep pit that could have been deadly, even EOD said it could be so we were at least 1000 ft. away.

[snogluver]

At the end I laughed a bit to see Tory for a split second.

[GWR4079]

@snogluver lol

[jeffanthonyfds]

we used to throw them in empty beer cans and then put them in the fire, it was always the casing that shot out and they didn't hurt at all, just surprising during a huge party around the bonfire is all

[Noonrider11]

"ooh that was 1 of the big 1s""thats was fun" XD

[dannylamb456]

now im hungry

[MTran0708]

whats the recipe for hobo dinner...

[noodow715]

my dad makes REAL popcorn thats more lethal than that...

[TheIcoolable]

a 50 cal wil penetrate a little blast shield.they tested a m1 garand against the blast shield and it went strate through it

[bubba55l]

SAAMI did this already.

[generalzod4life]

That faggot with the child molestor moustache looks like a pederast

[llamalover02]

what episode is this? I thought i downloaded this on to iTunes and now it isnt there...so i want to see if they still have it.

[GalacticEarthling]

Mythbusters is so awesome

[AgileFan0]

2:15 Foil dinners! We made them back in Boy Scouts all the time! They taste really good! You can also hard boil an egg in a wax cup right on the coals. Another thing we did was a brown paper bag dinner. Put eggs, & bacon right in the bag (I forget in what order) & you can place that on the coals & the grease prevents the bottom of the bag from burning...more or less. My brother's dinner bag caught on fire. I think the sides did. It was hilarious when he yanked it off the fire & stomped it out!

[lavaling]

@AgileFan0 good for you. noone cares.

[iSnipeSmurf]

"This is Spartan!" ??? He just made that lame....

[DailyLifeMedia]

Adams impressions of Jamie are the best!

[deadshot145]

who would be stupid enough to acually throw a bullet into a fire

[lordzyilo]

These guys have the best job ever...Getting payed to blow shit up.

[demonchil2009]

omfg 50 cal bullets r monsterus

[walkingfunk]

adam looks fat at 1:28

[Shrantic]

I love the description for this video. "This time they throw bullets into campfire." SCIENCE!

[Anonysmaus]

out of all those HUNDREDS of bullets!

WOW!

[Dezorza]

South african minister of foreign affairs Pik Botha did this for real during a hike with all the ministers & the president.

The next day the minister of defense tricked Pik into beliving that a stray bullet had killed a guard and only revealed it later when pik started to write his letter of resignation.

[Kebabsoup]

lol at the hobo dinner! It really made me hungry!

[MRM00NEY]

i was camping one time and cleaning out my dads truck and threw out an old box of shotgun shells that was empty....but instead of shotgun shells i had a couple of 22 shorts in there from when my 22 bullet box broke while hunting. they defiantly go BANG because we were at a public campsite and the workers there came down a few minutes later looking for our fireworks. they were pissed

[tf2iscoolasoplayit]

i threw an alkaline battery into a fire once

[Biohazardprodut]

THIS IS SPARKY!

[srbinbwe]

master chief

[monstrkillr1]

i love your video quality.

[Pawliee888]

2:27 LOL :D:D: Dr. Zoidberg

[timeandEternity]

2:25 was possibly the funniest thing i've seen in the past 6 months...

[h3llgn0m3]

I think the bullets on a campfire are potentialy fatal. Even though being hit by the casings may not kill you, I think you may get internal injuries that could be potentialy fatal.

[ILikeToMong]

Who the fuck is stupid enough to do that in the first place?

[khy03]

@ILikeToMong

You'd be fucking surprised. But, in reality you shouldn't be.

[peser]

@khy03 Lol

[gigakat]

many people that are retarded

[chuckielong1]

well i mean some might like wanna try to see if it work or not so yeah , curiousity

[lowsonoma21]

Name one average gun owner with a .50 MAG. fucking retarded

[lowsonoma21]

Thats so fucking stupid, everytime they use a round its a fucking magnum. 22 MAG, .44 MAG, and .50 MAG. The biggest round you can get. Most people storing ammo have LR's or L's

[evilpacker]

It boils down to case thickness,and rimfire,or centerfire,then u can get a little more interesting with casing (steel or brass) and primer (berdan or boxer ) -alot of variables.

[Andelin09]

@Iowsonoma21

22lr, 50 bmg, no 50 mag, no 22 mag bro

[daewooparts]

microwave bullets ,& slugs too ! i did it xlnt

[uploadmaser78]

6:32 this guy at the end lol

[BlackAnvil47]

"I would like to see these guys prove or disprove a 30-30 Winchester rapid fire explosion from using pointed end ammunition vise blunted ammo."

[strilight]

they should've thrown in shotgun shells

[Rawr454]

Plastic would've melted.

[BlackAnvil47]

shtgun shells would have melted done it as a kid.

[strilight]

And they say NOT to do it at home...although I think you did it at YOUR house...

[Scorpac]

@strilight they wouldnt go off in explosion... they would melt before the powder catches fire

[xayel]

@strilight most shells would melt just touching a hot coal. Done it. not spectacular until the primer's cook off.

[mustachos1993]

Thanks for uploading, great quality!!

[macabre12345]

They already tested this under more controled conditions. To see if it was safe for firefighters to enter a burning store with ammunition on the shelfs.

Thy used cronographs set up all around, and ignited the rounds with a propane torch. The fastest fragment was a primer cup that blew out, which weiged 1.5grains at 200 feet per second. Now to compair most paintball guns and airsoft toys fire 400 feet per second. If you have eye protection its not a danger to you.

[BobSwindel]

Lol wtf, who on earth has freaking .50 cal bullets... And someone who has those should be responsible enough to NOT throw them into a fire.

[jjbonedi1]

the u.s. army/marines/navy/coastguard ect.

[BobSwindel]

"should be responsible enough to NOT throw them into a fire. "

i expect the army to be that mate, if they're not, that's creepy mate.

[jjbonedi1]

thats true but what if they watched this episode

[BobSwindel]

Theb the'y know even more not to. >:O

[SimonSays5995]

2:26 lmao

[chrischrist666]

if you guys ever notice the truck at 1:41 says alameda.....so deltaphi79 you might be correct lol!!!

[mcforan]

non-lethal my ass. ive got a primer stuck in my chest after a drunken night of throwing rounds into a massive fire. the ER staff told me i must be an idiot. thanks mythbusters....for nothing.

[MapleSephiroth]

HAHA you have a primer stuck in your chest. No offense, but thats just a hilarious misfortunate event.

[ElliFong]

Cooking food and... bullet.

[gaaronr]

Love the random Tory jumping out like an idiot

[wcrews214]

4:36 is funny

[HDROSpieler123]

a funny way to waste ammo: )

[kouga265]

i want a hobo dinner too D:

[ummmkewler]

THIS... IS... SPARKY

[21fretsalute]

Did Adam say "that is fucking delicious"?

[unlimitedspeeed]

no.He said "that is Funny delicious"

[SharpxEye]

...and the other was...THE HOBO DINNER

[TaelosX]

Bullets in a campfire not lethal? Jesus H Christ on a damn pogo stick, are these people absolutely fucking retarded? Anyone dumb enough to do this at home needs to be cleansed from the gene pool anyways. As for the "only 15-16 serious hits, it only takes one serious hit from a bullet to kill you, that's it, just one. The fact that these rookies still even do gun myths is beyond me, they need to leave the guns to the pro's and go back to blowing up microwaves.

[ReggaeZal]

they have been toying around with bullets and explosives for over 30 years.........

lol, jesus h christ on a dam pogo stick, lmao

[earlxwasxhere]

they would not be lethal. without a barrel and chamber, there is not enough pressure to do much damage. the case would rupture and there would not be enough force behind the bullet or case to penetrate skin. they had .50 bmg bullets in that mix and they are big ass bullets with a lot of powder and a big boom, that would be the most serious threat, and the case of one only went into wood around 1/4 inch. skin flexes more than wood, so even that probably wouldnt even penetrate. so your dumb!!!

[Crambert365]

Ok I threw a bullet in a fire once when camping with friends. I can tell you from experience that listening to the ricochet of a 9mm bullet whizzing by a couple inches from your head is not fun and that this can in fact be lethal. i can also say that i'm never doing it again. I put the fire out and i found my casing, burnt but otherwise in pristine condition. It sits in my room as a reminder of the idiocy i once committed and to never do anything stupid ever again

[J88Wolf]

@Crambert365 You sir, have just earned yourself a green thumb. ;)

[coolmenachem10]

Jamie: "This is the best cooking show ever!!" lolzerz

[ummmkewler]

adam

[DeltaPhi79]

Truck: Sounds a bit like a train. Bomb range: Is that Jamie's "secret location"? LOL.

[ummmkewler]

no we dont know what the secret location is they never mention it

[DeltaPhi79]

I know but it looks like the Alameda Bomb Range lol.

[ummmkewler]

i know but where could it be? hmmm MY BACKYARD lol

[DeltaPhi79]

The Jory Caron Field of Destruction? XD

[ummmkewler]

maybe cuz nobody likes roasted nuts

[DeltaPhi79]

True true... but they have no rocks to hide behind XD

[gmsux]

If only they explicitly said it @1:37, or it were written on the truck, or in the description of the officer, or on his uniform, right?

You should look into a career in forensics.

[DeltaPhi79]

Uh is that an insult?

[frlogs]

THIS IS SPARKY XD
