Anyone ever watch this? I was watching it the other night and they proved that if you shoot a 9mm into 7-8 feet of water, it will be lethal. They then tried the same thing with a civil war rifle and it was lethal at 4-5 feet of water. then they used a .50 cal, .243 and I think a .30-.06 and all three couldn't penetrate more than 10 inches of water. when the bullet would hit the water, it would separate into a bunch of pieces. So the most lethal weapon...the 9mm. At least under the water.

i watch it some times but i never seen that one.

ive seen the one where they prove the theory of throwing money off the empire state building and it killing someone wrong

[innersanctum]

It was because it reaches a termimal speed, right? And once it reaches that, it can't go any faster and the speed isn't fast enought kill? Or was it some other reason?

[ToFlyy]

it was because it was so high that once it reached a certain point on the tower like one of the decks the wind would push it back towards the building eventually accomplishing nothing lol

I think they originally suspected Terminal Velocity. I can see the wind issue. I still would not want to be hit by it on the noggin. You could still poke your eye out!

[SSG_Bolles]

yeah i love that show it is so awesome

[Green Man]

or just imagine someone hawking a big arse loogy off the top and having it bullet-train down to your head. :eek: How nasty would that be?

[CplCJ]

That would be nasty no matter how hard it hit you!

[ToFlyy]

only problem is that it wouldnt hit you lol it would be blown back towards the building haha u guys obviously didnt see that episode

[CplCJ]

What if you were the one on the building. It might hit you then, mister!

[SSG_Bolles]

yeah what he said "mister"

[ToFlyy]
