problem with testing a trope is you either make it worst-case, i.e. nekkid, or you have to then layer the myth but I felt like they sort of rushed this one or they would have done more testing than a single pane of glass of each type... but they were constantly couching what they were doing in "always come out unscathed"...

Im gonna make a note when it comes to RPGs, they have 2 main warheads on the RPG-7, the PG-07 which is the Armour Piercing warhead I believe, and an OG-07 Warhead which is High Explosive. Against an SUV, and a group of terrorists may have more access to the High Explosive warhead than a Tandem Charge PG-07
@maxm1645
@maxm1645 5 ай бұрын
But even then, wouldnt the mass of the warhead be way to less to flip a 2-3 ton SUV? I'm just guessing here as I remember the size of the german RPG and that thing wasn't that massive. I'd compare that to maybe 3 handgrenades and I'd be pretty sure an SUV wouldnt flip from that. But could be wrong as well ^^ and its also 20 years since military^^

@bambae7669
@bambae7669 3 ай бұрын
The OG-07 wouldn't have done anything, think of it more as a big frag grenade. The purpose of the explosion is to send the shrapnel flying and it doesn't require a lot of explosive power to accomplish it. The TBG-7V is the only RPG warhead capable of doing anything else than what it is primarily designed to do. However i don't have any faith in it flipping a car, I think it would have just produced a really cool explosion. The only grenade system i've seen that might be capable of flipping a car, fires anti-armor/anti-bunker high explosive grenades that weigh more than a loaded RPG, even when excluding the weight of the shell. We are talking about 90mm + caliber rounds that weigh over 10kg (22lb) total. With the RPG, this is 100% Hollywood Edit: Just for the record, the shaped charge anti-armor warheads are massively more common than any other type of warhead, cause the anti-armor properties are the reason why you use these types of weapons. All the other types are uncommon to say the least, and probably not seen a whole lot outside of Russia.

That's also why they had so many powerful rockets, the dump truck, 2 prestine shevy impala's and so much other stuff. They managed to get a big budget for that myth and they made sure to use it.

You can see from how little the car moves from a frontal impact that even if they fired it under and it wasn't a shaped charge, it wouldn't have lifted it at all. Being it's a shaped charge though most of the force would go into the ground, not lifting the car. Not worth even testing honestly.

The flipping of a car is one of Hollywood's favorite cliches. It looks good on camera and is fairly easy to do using a ramp. Has anyone counted all the movies in which the stunt is used? The clip at the beginning with the impact, explosion, and flipping- that is typical 1990's action-thriller dreck. Some CIA conspiracy nonsense that required the flipping of a SUV. Watch that scene, and the countless other movie scenes just like it, and feel the mindlessness get pushed into your mind. Real physics is more interesting. When Mythbusters fired a RPG into the big heavy engine block of a big heavy SUV, it looked as if much of the energy of the explosion was absorbed by the engine block. The million-dollar question is what would happen to the occupants of the SUV. If bad guys wanted to kill the occupants, they might not aim for the engine.
@Yvolve
@Yvolve 5 ай бұрын
Real crashes don't look spectacular on camera, for the regular viewer. Same with explosions. Nothing to do with CIA nonsense. Hollywood just figured out a very repeatable method of making a car chase look spectacular. Shooting a scene like that is very expensive and takes forever to set up. You want a sure-fire way of getting it done in as few takes as possible. If a stunt team made it work on one movie, they likely get hired to repeat the same trick. Just how the industry works.

On the glass myth, the plate glass only caused injuries at leg level. Chances are the workers would be working jeans or canvas work pants, which would probably prevent the injury shown. I would imagine that holding the glass would create a much higher risk to arms though, almost too bad they didn't have jelly arms as well.

My predictions (been a long time since I saw this): Laminated glass - it is does not break, it will be violently ripped from your hands resulting in possible cuts and broken bones. The tempered glass will not cause huge lacerations, but many small pinpricks. The standard glass is a bunch of flying daggers and you are likely to lose a finger or a thumb.

I'm not saying that an RPG would flip a SUV but the test here was also doomed to fail from the beginning. Head on collision to the front of the car would not flip anything. You need to impart upwards momentum. And the front of a SUV is a particularly heavy part of the car due to the engine block. I'm truly curious what would have happened if the explosin happened at the wheels. The asphalt would reflect a bigger portion of the shockwave and you have a bigger "lever" to the engine block/center of mass.

@@gordonbrinkmann​ To get into the explosive side in this comment: It still won't matter, except it will be harder to get a high explosive RPG, and/or more expensive. It changes so little for the test they're doing, it is not worth it. There is also 0 chance it flips. Genuinely impossible. In the Deadliest Catch episode, they put 4 pounds of C4 under a crab cage. Made from solid steel bar, bent and welded. Weighs 800 pounds or something ridiculous. The explosive sits under two corners and it only just flips. This SUV 6500 pounds, the RPG has at best 2 kg's of thermobaric explosives. Regular HEAT is 730 grams (26 oz), tandem is 1,43 kg (3.2lbs). That is not going to flip 6500 pounds of steel and metal. Frag version is only 210 gr (7.4 oz). Just there to injure troops. An injured soldier takes up resources, a dead one takes up a casket, if you want to look at it from the bleak perspective of weapons design. As I said in the other comment: they shot through the car. 9:24. The first angle show it going through the bottom of the windshield and through the car. The second angle it goes through the bonnet and engine. Poor continuity in post production. You also have to realise the vast majority of people have no idea what the difference even means. You have to explain this in the episode, taking away time from showing big boom. In making TV, there are choices and not everything can be as perfect as you want it.

No, it's double-glazed. There is a space in between the two panes. This is why they have a metal strip along the edges. it acts as a spacer. Some windows might have a UV blocking filter installed, but that won't stop it from breaking, or shattering.

Wait, wasn't the purpose to flip the vehicle, not obliterate it? It makes sense if it was aimed under.

​@@ichiroutakashima4503 Right, it makes sense to aim under and that's what is shown in the movie clip. But they did not aim under the car, which is why Tommy said they messed it up. And as another commenter pointed out, there are different types of warheads, armour piercing ones and high explosive ones. So to flip a car I would not have tried it with the armour piercing warhead. Or at least not only with that.

@@Yvolve As I wrote under your other comment: it wouldn't matter, but it would be a better test of the shown myth. If someone in a movie showed to crack a bowling ball with a steel hammer, it would probably not matter for the result (I have no idea actually) if they tested it with a wood hammer, but you could argue that they did not perform the test correctly.

@@gordonbrinkmann In the clip, it is shot from a roof, goes through the bonnet and the entire engine, and blows up when hitting the ground. No way to replicate that. The issue with aiming below the car is the setup. It is difficult hitting a spot below the engine, without clipping the ground, the bumper or have it bounce off the ground. Especially when you're comparing a stationary target with a moving one. Timing it right on the rolling target is going to be a challenge. Those RPG rockets are not cheap. From a production standpoint, it is not feasible to aim at the ground. Simply too much risk. Aiming dead ahead, at a flat surface is a lot safer. I'm also doubting the bomb range would be ok with aiming at the ground. The RPG rocket is designed to detonate when the front hits something. If it glances and bounces out from underneath the car, you are in trouble. Practicality and safety trumps reality in these cases.

They never tried to create the best circumstances to confirm any of these myths. Either the production budget/time was out, or it was badly written...

@@Yvolve Even there they didn't - workers would wear clothes for one, extend their arms at the very least or outright jump from surprise/shock. Going by the episode where they test the glass in a tornado myth, glass going at just 30 mph would likely have a hard time doing much against cloth (esp robust work clothes) and skin.

@@AeonLibertas You do not take into account the size of the shard. The bigger the piece, the more energy it has. You also have eyes, which are very sensitive. You breathe powdered glass. The floor is covered in it and if you fall in the mayhem, you're going to have a bad time. Imagine a 30 mph car crash but your windshield is regular, single pane glass. Like it used to be. You're not going to enjoy this. Going by the fact laminated glass is mandatory in hurricane/tornado zones, there's enough risk to mandate special windows.
