[@jojolafrite90]

And failing to understand basic physics, as per usual. Of course the helmet makes it harder to break glass on it, of course Jamie hit as hard as he could and of course it would cause a concussion.

[@swedichboy1000]

[@KanuckStreams]

Additional fun fact: When you get hit by a bottle, it hurts *more* if it doesn't break, because the energy that *would* have been expended breaking the glass is instead imparted into your head.

[@devoidleaps4892]

In the UK, rather than bottles, smooth pint glasses were used and generally pushed in peoples faces, hence the term - "they were glassed" and the results could be life changing, as the glass would often smash or be smashed before the thrust and then main impact. Pretty brutal. It tended to be ladies that did it - blokes just fought - fists feet, knees, foreheads, elbows, chair legs etc. always made Family Sunday Lunch interesting, and that was before we went to the pub.

[@wellersteven]

On Star Trek: The Next Generation, there was a scene in a Klingon bar - Klingons singing, laughing, arm-wrestling, head butting each other, hitting each other with chairs, etc. It always reminded me of an average Liverpool pub on a Saturday night.

[@Tuberesu]

I have seen the results of "bottling", (as the locals call it); a perfectly decent looking 19 year old attacked with a beer bottle and bearing the terrible scars half a century later. Glass is one of the most dangerous and unpredictable substances. Try experimenting on the results when a 7ft x 8ft pane of 12mm thick shop glass , twisted and shattered among the four men carrying it. I did the first aid and have steered clear of glass ever since. Just watching the sugar glass (and the danger of bits in eyes) made me shudder. To me, hitting someone with a fake bottle can have entirely the wrong impression on some minds - "if the actor wasn't hurt, then guy I'm going to hit with this beer bottle won't be". The blow continues after the bottle breaks and the remainder of the bottle claws down the face of the victim in the case of the 19 year old all those years ago, removing the tip of his nose channels of skin and his lower lip.

[@Tjescoo]

Oh well, glass is awesome! Durable, easy to recycle. The pros definitely outweigh the 'dangers' of using it, as most people are not severely injured by it. The guy from your story might as well have been hit by another object to scar him and if you work with certain materials, the chance to be damaged by them increases significantly. I bet chefs have cut themselves much more often than your average homeowner who makes their own dinner.

[@Tuberesu]

@@Tjescoo Joe was the 'guy' in my 'story' - a true story and any other object would not have had the same effect. It happened in England Christmas Eve 1963, and Joe was mugged on his way home for the £2 in his pocket, he didn't have a chance. Thanks for your comment, it's appreciated that we all have different views.

the designer canon is definitely lethal. i think getting hit by a cannon ball going 60mph were at the very least break some bones and given that canons fire at chest height getting hit by it would def crack some ribs

Don't have to tell me how dangerous a glass bottle can be. Had a guy suddenly attack and shove a broken bottle top at my eyes. The only thing I had time to do was place my left hand in between. Sliced my palm open clean to the bone. Doc said I was lucky not to have lost my left thumb completely. Still have a long scar there.

[@Terry0590]

I worked in bar as bouncer for 10 years and seen so many iniuries cause of bottle hit the worse was a carotide artery rupture

At first, X-ray didnt show anything (glass dont show on X-ray) so they sent him home and told him to stop whining so much about the pain :D He later returned with half face size of watermelon and they took it out at least. And he made the local news.

[@terrorhuhn9192]

problem with the leather: it can expand, let the pressure wave around the cannon ball and so slow it down if you would place the cannon ball not all the way back, it would probably be faster, not as fast as a iron/steel cannon, but faster then 50mph

[@roserichardson9480]

I guess Sweden mastered the recoilless gun a lot earlier than I realized!

[@thaborumo394]

I just found this episode still watching my money is on empty bottle it's lighter meaning gives more velocity to whoever wielding it yet a heavier sword is known chop through bone can't wait 😊

[@wesleykim6523]

For some reason, the biggest takeaway I got from this episode as a kid was that I really wanted to eat a jelly shaped like a brain. Also, I think this is where I first learned what a concussion is.

[@xXturbo86Xx]

The leather cannon would have been confirmed if they had any idea how to make one so that it wouldn't fall apart. Rolling leather around a tube is not how these were made. But it was the easiest way for them so that they could finish the job. It's something Mythbusters usually did when a myth required too much work and craftsmanship that they didn't possess.

[@Aussie_Archmage]

How were they made, then? I'm no expert, so I don't see a huge amount of other options, but I'd like to know.

[@LaraCroftCP]

Tell me again Jamie had no fun making mythbusters. That was a really happy Hyneman in this Episode.

[@PlutoTheSecond]

I've never once understood why anyone would think an empty beer bottle smash is more damaging than a full one...the full one has more mass, duh! "Award-winning forensic scientists," huh? I hope they all got their awards rescinded!

[@maltesefalcon85]

because an empty bottle would cut more

[@MrEsphoenix]

The end results where kind of what i expected. My only thought was that maybe the rapid change of pressure in the bottle would shatter the glass at a lower threshold, kind of like how you can blow out the bottom of a bottle that has some liquid in it by hitting the top of it with your palm.

[@ignispurgatorius5297]

Well, alot of their "myths" could have been answered by simply consulting E=1/2*M*v^2. That has always been kinda the case. Obviously often it was done for the show aspect, but sometimes it was just silly, like when they tried to compare the energy of a stone hitting someone vs. the energy of a bullet and Adam build a rig that converted kinetic energy into potential energy and they determined the result by the angle of the target pendulum. Just giving us the mass of the projectiles and their speeds would have been enough and not at all less intuitive than "look it has 8° more!".

[@robbierootbeer8056]

@@ignispurgatorius5297 the reason they do some of these tests is because it's easier to demonstrate all the variables to the layman by recreating the situation

Bottles that are full are deadlier as they have mass. Friend of mine lost 5 teeth and a huge slice up the side of his head. I've been surprised if an empty bottle has enough mass to smash teeth out.

[@G-SUS420]

I really never expected the outcome that the leather canons had, solid episode fs

[@neilperry2224]

U forgot the spinal fluid surrounding the jelly brain

[@antlion6169]

i think the swedish design having more velocity despite having the plug blown out is because they used different powder than the parrot gun, it even produced more smoke so my guess is that they used finer and more volatile powder

[@MrMarinus18]

No, the powder was the same, it only looks like more cause the breach blew out which pushed a lot of powder out which otherwise would have stayed in. Black powder is not like modern smokeless powder, quite a bit of black powder remains in the cannon and has to be cleaned out every few shots. Also the plug blowing out didn't generate more or less speed, it prevented the cannon from recoiling which is obvious when you remember the leather cannon is several times lighter than the parrot rifle which meant an equal shot would have pushed it back further. I think the real reason was that the parrot rifle was a rifle. Rifling reduces speed cause it needs to expend energy to induce spin which is also why a lot of modern artillery that has satellite guidance or has self-stabilizing ammunition no longer has rifling. The Parrot rifle was an advancement because it was one of the very first effective rifled field artillery. Also they packed that black powder by hand so every shot is different since the amount of powder and how much it is compressed is never completely identical.

[@MrMarinus18]

The leather cannon though was ultimately a failure cause the fabric and leather didn't conduct heat very well causing the inside to heat up quickly to the point it would detonate black powder instantly. It's hybrid design also meant you couldn't really cool it down from the outside. A cast iron cannon usually has enough mass and conducts heat efficiently enough that overheating isn't really a problem but with a leather cannon they quickly found out they had to pause for quite a while to let it cool down after firing off several shots. It also had other drawbacks like the light weight causing excessive recoil and it not being easy to keep clean which meant it was too much of a hassle.

[@Smileren-nt5hg]

Someone did do this to me, unopened full beer bottle. It cracked my skull and split my eye. Do not try at home.

[@deanlindholm8663]

As someone who does leather work I could cry

[@Mr._Comedian]

A football helmet accelerometer mechanism, I think, is meant to test the end result at one's head WITH a football helmet. If you get clubbed with a helmet on, you will, of course, not feel as hurt as when without that helmet.

[@panzer8299]

This brings me joy

[@LaraCroftCP]

As a craftswoman working and loving leather im a bit sad about the huge ammount of leather wasted in this episode. I could make so many collars, straps, cuffs, harnesses and other gear out of this big nice hides. One misstake, its not genuine leather, this stuff is grind up leatherscraps with glue, their cannon was good nice beautifull full grain leather.

[@clintontsang1546]

Empty bottles cause more damage than full bottles because the fight usually starts after the contents are consumed.

[@nevergetagooduserid]

if you drove past the leather canon at 55 just as it was fired.... could you catch the canon ball? (pick it out of the air)

[@DarthMackzodroginstomp]

[@Erkynar]

Gustavus II Adolphus was a viking. Yes.

[@Lagbeard]

Could have tested different kinds of hits with the bottle... Mainly swinging to hit more with the edge of the bottom of the bottle and just slamming the bottle down onto the head bottom first. Empty bottle still probably wouldn't be more dangerous, but covering more angles would be better.

[@PJxpanterx]

They failed to seal the back of the cannons.

[@colinmoore7460]

Not to mention what a poorly made bottle might do to your palm when the neck of the bottle shatters in your hand.

[@1stpogo]

So their contempary cannon, that was patented in 1860 is being compared to cannons from the early 1700's. That would make the Parrott cannon about 150 years ahead of time. Thats like comparing the Parrott cannon to a cannon from today. Very disappointed in the Mythbusters, I would have expected better of them.

[@MrMarinus18]

Modern cannons have smokeless powder which is why they go so much further. The black powder in the leather cannon and the parrot cannon is the same. You can also put a 100 year old 9mm bullet in a modern gun and it will work just fine cause it hasn't changed at all.

[@neshirst-ashuach1881]

So what is the correct way to build a leather cannon then? Because 55mph is way too slow for a proper cannonball, and 1 use is terrible no matter what time period its from.

[@jimmybjorklund1491]

they built the leather cannon wrong

[@daniimariin]

Hearing them say so many times that the mass of the liquid was a significant factor, I thought they would compare a full normal bottle, and a bigger empty bottle of the same mass... clearly mass is a factor, in my opinion the myth is about how energy dissipates when it comes from an empty bottle

[@Art.URO-LM]

the beer bottle thing does not matter it still hurts and it will damage you hard,

[@Gamen4Bros]

She looked different in this ep👀

[@Sideshownicful]

I mean, yeah, if you swing the empty bottle and the full bottle at the same speed, of course the full bottle will do more damage. But you can can hit much faster with an empty bottle since it has much less mass.

[@Halvblodsprinsen100]

I have not watched the full episode yet. But from what i noticed, they are testing the cannonballs at the same place as the cannonball incident. So, while one could say they never should have done it there, correctly mind you, but tit was far from expected. Especially as they did it at what was suposed to be a safe place. And yes, that was the worst day of their life. They got very lucky that no-one got hurt. In fact, one could say they got really lucky every time they fired a cannon at that place.

[@kungfudavie]

Probably was earlier than the incident. It’s because they were firing at an angled burm. The cannon dropped slightly and it bounced. They should have been using a quarry. Remember people who knew what they were doing were in charge of where and how to shoot them and they signed off on it. It was the police bomb ranged after all

AS per usual, tests prove nothing. The myth is, to my comprehension, that SOME bottles in some circumstances would indeed break more easily, and thus COULD in SOME CASES be better than if it would be empty and that's not what they tested at all.

[@tythus654]

Not necesarily. Possibly they came to the conclusion that it's better to have the same speed of the bottle instead of the same force imparted on it, and as a lighter bottle would require less force to achieve the same speed they didn't pull it all the way.

[@uriituw]

Make a cannon out of iron. Is better.

[@3GingerCats]

So that was a foo. lets be correct... an "American Football" Helmet. something only some Americans know anything about and the rest of the entire world knows nothing about, Like Dodge... it doesn't exist outside of America! How about using the best of the best "World" Helmets Like the ones used in WRC, Touring cars, F1 and Motorcycle Helmets (but not Nascar as that is also an American only thing that the entire world cares nothing for) So we are talking, Stilo and Arai mostly, but other high end Helmets as well. but maybe you can bust the myth that a Cheap Helmet is Better than an Expensive helmet provided that it fits you correctly, and the expensive helmet will do you no good at all if it doesn't suit your head shape! I want to know if the decent helmets are better at absorbing impact than that play helmet you had, and if someone throws a bottle at me while riding my Motorbike at 100km/h, will I get a concussion? or just a big enough fright that I might crash and get more than just a concussion???
