Modern hammers are hardened but the middle is soft because they dont break.

My dad was a metal worker, and he used to warn me not to hit hammer on hammer, for they are surface hardened. Later, i saw a coworker hitting a hammer to open some crate manytimes..i warned him and he looked at me like," Mind your business boy". And kept hitting untill he was lkke struck by lightning and a hole of about a centimeter x a half opened up his bicep he digarded it but had to go to hospital and had a shard removed near his shoulder..hence hitting it many times apparently causes the hardened surface to crack and then next possibly pieces could be propelled at high velocity

The panzerschrek/faust are basically recoiless rifles or, in more simplified terms, rocket launchers. They fire a self propelled projectile and therefore the launcher doesn't need to be a pressure vessel because the launch isn't as a result of expanding gasses within a confined space. The trombone in the experiment is being used as a crude cannon where an expansion of gasses within a confined space forces a projectile out of the end of the vessel. By increasing the confinement of the pressure vessel (sealing one end of the trombone with lips) you force more of the expanding gasses to go out the desired end resulting in a greater projectile velocity. Think of it sort of like an exaggerated gas port on a semi automatic rifle, if the port is too big and too much gas is allowed to escape rather than pushing the bullet down the barrel then the speed of projectile will drop

Myth is busted, theres no way that could happen. Give it up already

Mix Adam and Jamie together and you've got yourself a father figure

Lost a piece of a work hardened drift doing a bearing one day and found it in my hand 3yrs later, shot off so fast and went in so clean I had no idea.

They might have been confused over Adam's jokes of how old Jamie supposedly was, and thus his inventory. We the audience are rarely consistent

yeah, but what if jamie had his hammers hardened by a blacksmith for no reason at all?

... Why did you just leave it inside?

@@ao1778 i legitimatly cant find it, it isnt causing me any pain so the dr said it would be more painful to have a surgery to find and remove it

Taht sounds like an infcetion just screaming to happen.. i don't think this tale is real

@@ao1778 It's common practice for tiny pieces of shrapnel. I've known a bunch of military vets with bits of steel shrapnel stuck deep in various bits of the body, some including the head and torso, but there were a lot with pieces in their arms or legs. In all those cases....it's just not worth the risk to operate. Shrapnel is usually inert and sterile, and it's _very unlikely_ to cause an infection if the wound is cleaned, so it's way more dangerous to go digging around in a body cavity or organ where you could potentially snip a vessel or hit something else vital. So standard practice for tiny shards of metal is just to leave em in there, because surgery is almost always the riskier option. The body heals and scars around them and they just about always stop moving and don't cause any problems. We used to leave bullets in the body too, till we learned about how poisonous lead is. The exceptions are, of course, if the shrapnel is large or sharp, etc. Then it's surgery time.

​@@zuzoscornerI don't know a relative of mine went to doctors after like 2-3 years because his big toe was hurting he got checked out by a doctor and had a sewing needle stuck in his foot I am not quite sure how it got there tbh

M2 AP was absolutely used by Snipers in Vietnam, my biggest issue is that they called it tungsten core, which it absolutely is not.

Still busted. Be careful what you believe because alot of war stories are made up due politics especially about Vietnam. The Americans are still salty even though they started it.

I can only speak to this mathematically. Assume we're using 12.96 Lapua Magnum at 100 meters. According to the function I found online, you'd be talking about 1.3-1.4 Gs of impact. Now, 1.3 Gs of impact focused on a single point: That'll kill you. Spread across the area of a scope? Unlikely. MAYBE it would give you a concussion. (concussions happen from 90-120 Gs of inertial trauma) You certainly wouldn't feel great. But "liquify the brain"? No, not even remotely. Edit: Yes, it would cut up your face something horrible, but I think that's self-evident.

@@designator7402 physics high five lol

@@designator7402 I get your point, but I'm confused about your math. Isn't impact measured on Newtons? G's are a meassure of acceleration. Or am I missing something?

@@designator7402 .338 Lapua Magnum is also a silly example for the time period, it would be 30-06.

@@pwb83 Probably because I didn't finish the math. We're talking acceleration relative to a mass and an area of impact. I don't know either of those, so I resorted to napkin math. If you wanna go into more detail, I welcome it!

Those pics look like the barrel was cut and bent. Wayyy to clean edges

i totaly agree with you

Yes, agree

Really? How much energy do you think you can produce by blowing into the mouth piece? It will not even come close to producing as much energy as twice the amount of black powder would. What even.

@@chiragnk602 it would open up the valves giving a free route for the explosion

They plugged the mouthpiece far better than a mouth would.

It's mid-2000s entertainment on a limited budget, what can you do.

No they don't. They leave people with actual functioning brains, who can fill in the blanks and understand the point of the experiments, as well as casual viewers who don't care and just want to see interesting nuts, bolts and explosions, all entertained. They leave people who have spent too long not seeing the sun, overly pedantic for the sake of sounding clever, and obsessed with irrelevant details, seething through and through. Not because the Mythbusters did anything wrong, but because it makes them feel better about themselves that they are "smarter" or more "expert" than them.

Experimental science is the BEST Science!
