@@Davis-tl1rc That explosive rock he makes in the first season. Its not how it works, the explosion is not nearly as strong. The giant magnet would never have enough power to "suck" the objects to the wall because re-inforced concrete that surrounds the room would shield it, also, the magnetic energy damage done to the Laptop would be fixed with no data loss in about a week in the FBI lab.

Remember, Walt only got hit because one bullet ricocheted into him. So Walt's death still counts as plausible.

[@JozeManuLOL]

Yeah,there was a bullet 7 feet above

[@r2jdf]

I've always thought that it was implied that it was a piece of shrapnel. The last shot before he got hit was a small numbered circular piece almost looking like a shooting target. I felt like they showed that purposefully to show what actually hit him. I could be totally wrong but that's how I saw it.

@@TheBigOne0305 most definitely even 55 grain 556 could!

[@TheBigOne0305]

@Tyler's Tears: One wall, certainly. Two walls? Probably. Any more? Well, that depends on the space between them. 5.56x45mm is notoriously unstable after penetrating any obstacles. There is a good chance they will hit the 2nd and 3rd wall sideways and at a deflected angle. This is not necessary a flaw of the round. It was intended to tumble in the target, instead of cleanly penetrating, thereby delivering more energy inside the target, instead of whatever is behind it. The heavier loads are a bit better at penetrating (like the 62grs M855), but essentially still suffer the same effect. Especially seeing that he was shooting through the metal trunk first, I think going with 7.62x51mm was definitely the better choice here. Besided, finding a belt-fed 5.56 machine gun would probably have been a lot more difficult for Walter than finding a 7.62 one.

Why not “Confirmed”? Seemed to work exactly like in the show.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Confirmed means it actually happened in the exact circumstances described. That’s why the bullet fall myth was both plausible and confirmed, as well as busted. The parameters of the story require the bullet to maintain a parabolic ballistic path, as the speed of a bullet at terminal velocity is such that it is unlikely to cause serious harm.

[@captainobvious1415]

Mostlyharmless1985 ...So it was confirmed then. The busters built an oscillating machine gun that killed the dummies inside. In Breaking bad, Walt built an oscillating machine gun that killed the people inside.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Captain Obvious you get that those people aren’t actually dead though, they were doing something called “acting.” It’s a kinda like playing pretend. They aren’t actually dead. Since no one actually ever made such a machine or trap, it can only remain in plausible land.

[@captainobvious1415]

Mostlyharmless1985 ....Ah, so your argument is that because actors pretended to be hit by bullets in Breaking Bad, then the mythbusters is not confirmed because it didn’t replicate actors pretending to be hit by bullets. Love the logic. If multiple bullets hit you and strike you in the head, hate to break it to you, but you’re not superman.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Captain Obvious no, my logic is such an event never happened in reality, because it’s fantasy, so unless it’s actually happened, exactly as the myth states, it can’t be confirmed, it can only be plausible.

I believe they also had a dead man actuator for the trigger. All Jamie would have had to do was release the actuator and the gun would have stopped firing. So with that, the fact that it could not swing around to the left (barrel would have hit the end of the trunk), nor to the right (barrel would have hit the garage door opener), and they were behind a safety barrier, they were fairly safe.

i like how the team on the show did actually build this rig that works themselves, but obviously not with an actual gun with live ammunition - mustve been awesome for vince to see the real thing really, if it was still around, they couldve got the prop and set it up and it wouldve worked like a beauty

Pretty much anything in Breaking Bad was plausible. The show was so scientifically accurate.

[@joseborquez3230]

[@BrendanBeckett]

+Chakib Tsouli They did a BB special before and I think both things they tested didn't work. The explosive Walt threw on the ground at Tucco's in season 1 and the bathtub of chemicals to dissolve the body both didn't work.

[@mikemccombe9852]

+Chakib Tsouli Apart from Gus walking out of that room before dying

[@clay391]

+Chakib Tsouli The bathtub didn't work. The Mythbusters used different tubs and different acids and they couldn't get a gun or all the remains to dissolve. None of the bathtubs lost their bottoms. Also, they tried throwing the stuff on the floor to see if they could blow the windows out of the place while everyone was ok but the amount didn't do anything and the force of the throw didn't set it off either. Then they rigged it to blow but the amount wasn't big enough to blow the windows out like in the show, so they used the whole bag and it demolished their make-up house.

[@Aeig]

Making meth in a mobile RV, next myth to bust. Only way to tell for sure is to see how good the final product is by trying it then start selling it. Expand the Mythbuster blue crystal territory and see if becoming rich by being a meth dealer destroys everyones life in the process. Plausible?

[@Dargonhuman]

+Aeig Or, they could just test the meth with testing kits that are readily available and not destroy lives and break laws.
