Bulletproof Materials and Kill Bill Myths | MythBusters | Season 6 Episode 11 | Full Episode

[@bradameerbeg2154]

I love how Jamie pretends to actually listen to Adan when Adam is doing his British director thing. 😂

[@redmist6630]

hes also is kind enough to let Adam shoot the guns

[@rage9715]

Jamie said the crew tried to get him to break character.

[@Yvolve]

30:50 The issue with this setup is that the robot has a very limited range of motion. A person could adjust and punch further while the robot is bottoming out. It also hits in the same spot. If you were to hit in other spots, you create a much bigger hole. Given that the lid broke on the first hit, I would say it is pretty reasonable, if you didn't break your hand in a million pieces on that first attempt.

[@guyfanno1]

Yepexactly what l was thinking. A bit disappointing that they did not really consider that even with the dirt.

[@Wetfoxes]

Exactly. Also if the soil were moist? It would be heavier but maybe stay in place. I have to watch Kill Bill 2 again soon 😅

[@maltesefalcon85]

thing is youd have to take into account range of motion in a confined space they actually gave the dummy a lot more space than beatrix had in the film

[@Yvolve]

@@Wetfoxes That would definitely make a difference. They used dried out, very loose soil. Even a grave that had just been closed up, would be more solid.

[@Yvolve]

@@maltesefalcon85 Not according to what Kari said. She was building a standard size coffin. The height of the coffin doesn't matter anyway as the problem is the robot not punching far enough. A person could push through and expand the cracked in the wood. Punching it 600 times in the exact same spot, with the same max range of motion is not going to change anything.

[@Uncle_T]

Jamie's muscles wouldn't stop a bullet but I'm pretty sure his moustache would. 😁

[@skeevythewizzard5465]

Of course it would, you can`t shoot such a handsome man.

[@TheRondog19871]

The cofffin breaking is one i always had issue with, as yhe mechanism isnt trying to punch through the lid, only into it

[@Fernando-ek8jp]

I have done some martial arts breaking and, at least from my experience, if you're able to break something while aiming past it, it's because you have enough strength that you can waste it like that. If you want to do basically any strike at its strongest, the part with the most strength has to be as close to the point of impact as possible.

[@themonsterunderyourbed9408]

You know... SCIENCE™!!!

[@vashrub]

for me there was biggest issue with using screws to connect the lid :) in movie he used nails which makes a huge joinery difference

[@leafdog6926]

@@vashrub but the point is to break the lid not "pop" it off?

[@leafdog6926]

In real life, open palm is more practical "punch" as closed fist would break all your knuckles to get through.

[@Si74l0rd]

Fitch should have hit the sensor without a glove if you wanted accurate values. The glove disperses the force over a greater area and dampens the effect of the strike. If you were in a coffin it would be your knuckles where the force was concentrated onto the wood of the coffin. Punching it with a glove on would stop you being able to split the wood. If you were in that situation you wouldn't care about split skin across your knuckles, you'd care about being able to place precise impacts in the same place and concentrate the force into the smallest possible area.

[@TheMan-WithNoName]

Fitch also had his knees up which allowed him to brace with his feet which in turn allows for a better/harder connection. I'm not 100% sure if you can do that inside a coffin and by the time I'm in one it'll be to late to check. Just have to take my word for it. 😊 Edit: I think you could probably brace by using your legs against the sides to give you more stability.

[@damendred1]

Problem with that is you don't want to punch a heavy bag with no gloves, Fitch would worry about breaking his hand especially throwing as hard as he can. Also as a hardcore MMA fan it was funny they used Fitch for this, because although he was a top 3 welterweight at this time (only under GSP at times), his striking was always his worst attribute. He had no punching TKO's, he was a wrestler/submission grappler specialist. It's be like asking Mike Tyson for data on wrestling take downs lol. But I guess he's still going to be a lot better than the show staff.

[@WukongTheMonkeyKing]

You can nitpick variables like the force applied by the gloved hit vs the bare hand hit, but I doubt you are describing anything that would make enough of a difference. It's very easy to get caught up on details that like don't matter much, especially given the other problems in the myth. It's important to remember that the punching robot did not have a glove and did not feel pain.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

The punch robot was only hitting the exact same spot with the same amount of force. Wood that's been glued like a coffin lid would need numerous panels to be broken to undermine the structural integrity and allow the splinters to be ripped apart. The glue joins will be stronger than the wood fibres, so I'd punch toward the edge and hope to loosen some nails in the process.

[@williamhardes8081]

none of this "wood" matter. your knuckles would be bare boned, bloodied and broken.

[@JohnSmith-ef2rn]

Houdini tried to get through a buried alive stunt without the coffin - he didn’t make it all the way to the surface, and had to have friends pull him out virtually unconscious. He said he came very close to dying - and that was *without* a coffin. Houdini was also very fit for his age. Having to get out of a coffin and six feet of dirt? No way that’s possible. Digging through 6 feet of dirt with a shovel and standing upright is exhausting enough. Doing it after breaking through a coffin and with limited oxygen and in the dark with dirt pouring on your face? Its absurd to think its possible.

[@user-eu3tw7vp9k]

Wouldn't Houdinis attempt actually make this plausible? I admit the coffin part seems not doable but lets say somehow u get through coffin, u actually have space for dirt to go on the way up.

[@ShadowManceri]

Not sure how you count complete failure as plausible. Many have tried this, 0% success rate. But rescue isn't 100%. That's a hint how not-plausible it is.

[@LaraCroftCP]

Why do you know so exactly how exhausting it is digging 6' deep?

[@him050]

"Is this how Houdini died?" No, sadly he died after being sucker punched in the stomach. The punch ruptured his internal organs.

[@Omniprong]

For the bullet-in-fat test they should have tried using hollowpoints, and they should have started with something like a .22. The assertion that any other round they could try would have more penetrating power than a .45 simply because of the .45's low muzzle velocity is pretty questionable. I still don't think the fat would stop it, but it would have been a more reasonable test.

[@lemonherb1]

It’s been a few years since I last rewatched Kill Bill, but I always thought that they only dug down to Paula Shultz’s coffin and put the fresh pine one on top for The Bride. If that was the case then maybe only 3’ of dirt was on the lid. I suppose they could have used excavated next to Paula’s coffin, but it really didn’t look like those characters really wanted to put in that much effort. Budd pretty much concluded he already won and he just wanted to break what was left of Beatrice Kiddo’s spirit as she expires

[@lemonherb1]

Well looks like I was wrong, they did dig out Paula's coffin and body. It was in the background. That seems needlessly laborious

[@Kleavers]

[@mytube001]

I wonder what the results would've been with two layers of ceramic tiles offset one half tile in both directions. That way, there would be no gaps "visible" to the slug or bullet. For all we know, the smaller bullet might've hit between tiles. I still think they would've gone through, but maybe with much less speed remaining.

14:16 The genuine AK-47 is an Norinco type 56, Genuine indeed.

[@FurnishedIgloo]

acshually 🤓 the Type 56 was based off the sino-soviet co-operation on the True, Milled original AK47. After relations broke down, the Chinese found a stronger way to stamp the guns and made it viable for mass production, while the Russians went on to develop the AKM and the 74 independently of the type56. SO a lot of Type 56's are actually closer to the 'Real AK47' while the AKM share little parts commonality with the Chinese version. In a literal sense, you're right. In a roundabout way, they're *accidentally* correct.

uma thurman's character had in kill bill, trained for what seemed like a considerable time at Makiwara, I myself have trained in Makiwara and your "MMA" fighter's knuckles look nothing like anyone who has trained in makiwara.... and look more like someone who enjoys nice soft comfy gloves when fighting. this means your force is spread out, rather than the use of just the force going through the first two knuckles, it's like trying to puncture a balloon with a spoon vs a pin. im willing to bet someone like Mas Oyama or one of the guys from Turtlepress videos on yt, would blast through the coffin no bother.... prolly the worst part would be the couple tons of dirt coming in on you tbh.

[@Therian13]

I think the issue wasn`t the punching, but rather the sheer weight of dirt piling onto you, if you were buried 6 feet under. Even if you had the strength and precision to strike the same area multiple times enough to fracture it, the dirt would pour in quicker than you could force yourself to sit-up in and climb your way out of. Quite a few survival videos advise to make a makeshift helmet/head-shield with our own shirt before it comes crashing in. They even advise to kick/push the dirt towards your feet as you try to scramble up. (the goal is to essentially fit into the hole before gravity pins you down, and use your feet to propel yourself upwards). Chances wouldn`t look good, either way. You can choose to let yourself asphyxiate and fall into a deep slumber by doing nothing, or let yourself violently smother to death in defiance. ------ I do wonder if the cirumstances would be different though, if the dirt was wet and clumped together, as a fresh grave or rainy funeral would provide. 0_o

Punching through the wood of the coffin would not be a problem for the bride, it's the dirt falling in, but she wouldn't have smashed out a foot square sized hole in on go so could have controlled the speed the dirt fell in by starting with a smaller hole. The question then becomes could she push that down into the coffin and have room to widen the hole and escape?
