@@Kevin_Oskar "never getting along" dont know about that, aint no way they worked together for that long if they didnt get along at some level. they dont have to be friends to get along. worked with many people that i got along with really well, but they never became friends.

Chain shot was a real thing on pirate ships. It was normally used to take out the rigging or masts of another ship, but could also be used on people if that’s all you had. Some variants used metal rods with weights on each end, sort of like a dumbbell, those were also very effective.
oh yeah the macho gacho round, made for shotguns 2 balls with a chain... your right cept much more affective with the balls on the ends,,, I dont think they were full size balls either.... dunno...
Well, there's a slight misinformation going on there: Chain is NOT an improvised ammunition for a ship cannon but indeed one of the 3 standard types of ammo used back during the age of sail. - Ball was used as generall all purpose ammo and mainly ment to damage the hull and cause structural damage to the ship itself - Grapeshot was used as a deck clearing ammo and mainly ment to cause damage to the crew on deck, clearing the deck before entering or sometimes even used to try to shoot through enemy cannon gates and hit crew below deck - Chainshot was used as a means of immobilizing the enemy ship by being specifically being aimed at the sails and masts to rip or even break and topple them so the enemy would lose their ability to maneuver and flee
Being on any ship during a naval battle must of been a fucking nightmare. Smoke, ash, and powder in the air, red hotl metals whizzing about you, deaf and unable to hear from the blasts, and if you get hit your basically bleeding out while in the middle of a battle with more chances of ANOTHER piece of metal to wound you or end you. Not a very epic or glorious notion at all...
Dude, thanks for the re-uploads. I know this is piracy and stuff (somewhat ironic with a context of Pirates special episode), but boy, do I love to see Mythbusters on TH-cam.
Getting people to cooperate when you're giving them the sand necktie is probably a bit harder than the Mythbusters make it seem, so I suspect it will have involved first tying the hands and legs.
I suspect it could also have involved lots of rum and possibly whatever sedatives they had available to them, a little difficult to fight being buried like that when you’re unconscious. I’m also betting they would have tied the persons ankles together and bound their hands behind their back as well to prevent them from struggling free.
Ye Olde... is pronounced "the old". The y replaced the letter þ (thorn) when we got printing with movable letters, so the "y" here is a th-sound. As for olde, the e is silent.
My grandfather trained drummer and Army Veteran of WWI, played in a concert band, and the American Legion Marching Band Harrisburg PA. On the 4th of July, the concert in park amphitheater featured the 1812 Overture, he played the tympanies, and then fired the old cannonsl ( Civil War Vintage ). When the music stopped, the fireworks over the Susquehanna began. Later back from Vietnam, I was automatically enrolled in that same legion. Long time ago and far far away.
One thing about buried in sand, when it's full wet the person would become somewhat buoyant, they might be able to squirm more, but then it's most likely their hands would be tied.
I imagine that you'd get them unconscious and take them to the shore where there already a hole digged. They only need to throw you and when you wake up the tide is already near you. If you live near the shore you know the tide times 👀
Thought the eyepatch would be related due to repeatedly staring into the bare sun while navigating with a sextant, which uses a magnifier and so would burn your receptors in the eye. Perhaps this could be seen mosty at better educated staff (captain, mate, etc) was they were able to use a sextant and afterwards calculate the position.
They would be blind still being midshipman. Sextants in the age of pirates didnt had "magnifier", but they already had coloured glass and mirrors that let only half the light through, so they could get the sun down to the horizon without burning their retina away.
Chain shot was not improvised either, it actually had a specific purpose it was designed for namely destroying or disrupting the rigging and sails of the target vessel. Obviously in the age of sail this takes out their propulsion and ability to manoeuvre effectively, very useful if you seek to board the vessel and attempt to take it's cargo or take the vessel itself as a prize. You don't really want to use your ball shot for that it is very effective at punching holes in the watertight hull and sinking the vessel if you want the ship or it's contents chain shot to immobilise it and grape shot to kill or wound as much of it's crew as possible prior to boarding were more effective.
Technically, you could keep the boat down at the bottom of the ocean. The pressure would be so great that not even would it keep the boat down. It will crush the boat and you with it. Then theres this little thing with oxygen running out quite fast.
Although the pirate submarine is from Pirates of the Caribbean, the Johnny Depp movie stole it from a much earlier pirate film called The Crimson Pirate starring Burt Lancaster :)
I had to stop the video, but look at what damage the peg leg did! Totally deadly wound on camera left, bottom. See 36:32 before- after, but it is also visible on the ipact video. I think the metal brace did its trick, or a big chunk of wood flying at high speed, whatever. I think it should have been plausible at least, but as Adam mentioned not the smartest, smartest move, to cripple yourself.
He has his own youtube channel with a series named "Ask Adam Savage". Just search for "ask adam savage cgi" and find out yourself. He's also done multiple videos with corridor digital breaking down practical and cgi effects.
Didn't they literally prove you COULD use the boat underwater like in PoTC when they added the weights to it? XD yes it's not like the movie but they did achieve it
lol yeah I called bs on that one when I seen the movie.. the air in it would make it float..ps it doubles every so many feet... so your probably looking at 2000 pounds pulling up on that boat... this is the reason scuba is compressed.
funniest thing about all this to me is how Jamie actually seems quite _amused_ by Adam's terrible, terrible insistence on his terrible, terrible pirate voice. he's smiling way more than usual in some of those lead-up bits in the shop.
If you look up "world's most annoying and disgusting man" in Guinee's Book of Records I am pretty sure you will find Adam Savage holding that title, and completely unchallenged too.
Bring on the Dutch, another great nation, Cornelis Drebbel, was ya man, discovered oxygen well before ya other fella found out what it could and could not do to keep you alive, Sorry but is this not dangerous and fun on the same line,,,,,, do it well lads
mythbuster? more like film makers tricks... Arms aint burried propper so myth not proved (20:10). His arms is burried half raised (elbow to hands horizontal). Propper pirate method was whole arm straight down. Second pointer, was burried in safety of high tide, means water level pressure not counted in except for his lower part of legs. Ad that extra pressure of wet sand to arms and you cant dig out at all. MYTH BUSTED.

why are you saying this?
Because Grant is dead now

Yeah, and improvised shot like this is called Langrage, so, yeah, it was common enough to have a name
Dude, thanks for the re-uploads. I know this is piracy and stuff (somewhat ironic with a context of Pirates special episode), but boy, do I love to see Mythbusters on TH-cam.
Banijay is a french multinational company that acquired Beyond International who owned Mythbusters last year, so this isn't actually piracy
This is not piracy LOL
They own Mythbusters.
And so, matey, this piracy myth is busted, cause as commenters stated earlier - Banijay OWN Mythbusters.
why they still upload only 480p :D these episodes are for a fact in 1080p@@DotArve
Pirate thieves stealing America's television show, 😡
"A bottle of red, A bottle of white ... whatever kind of mood you're in tonight" Adam should be working for Hallmark!
Was it a Billy Joel lyric?
@@Shakes-Off-Fear Yes, It's from 'Scenes From An Italian Restaurant' - 'The Stranger' album
These episodes, with Tory,. Grant and Kari, were the best!

I've heard of Celebrities passing away over the years. but hearing about Grant is the only one that really shocked me. RIP brother you'll be missed
24:35 "Cannoneer Harry Webb..."
I guess I now know what Cliff Richard does between records... =)
Bring back the Mythbusters!
12:20 I would absolutely freak out, I can't stand it when my movement is restricted, just watching that made me have to wave my arms about a bit lol.

27:40 = THIS is a great example of why this American narrator was a brilliant (and appropriate) element of Mythbusters!
OK, probably true that you can't dig your way out of wet sand. But can you dig someone *in* to wet sand? I suspect that would be just as hard.
I imagine that you'd get them unconscious and take them to the shore where there already a hole digged. They only need to throw you and when you wake up the tide is already near you.
If you live near the shore you know the tide times 👀
They used to have a chain shot that they used to cut the mast down with 😊
Bloody love Adam's pirate impersonation XD
I really would love the Flying Guillotine myth from season 9. Thanks for the uploads, mate.
Oi mate innit
The rowboat submarine was first show in the crimson pirate from the mid 60s, not in potc.
wait for point blank range with your improvised ammo like the wooden leg and random cutlery
24:55
A 6lbs cannon is about average for field guns though ship cannons were often slightly bigger.

Dutch tradition says: round cheeses. If your out of canon balls use 7 yr old cheese balls. Their actually the same size.
That's all I'd use dutch cheese for

Many people think a Pirates favourite letter be R, but actually their one true love be the C
aye
29:02 now you know why grapeshot is now considered illegal
Is it?
Jamie's laughter hehehe
I am surprised the soft and vulnerable youtube didn't ban this
and probably the pirates hung about to stop you escaping

Pirate for chained to weight balls in the shoreline before getting buried... So the hens(hands) couldn't move at all

Is there a high speed of that chain impact? That I got to see!
adam feels like conan o'brien. can't get out of character. 8D
What does Adam think about CGI in movies?
He has his own youtube channel with a series named "Ask Adam Savage". Just search for "ask adam savage cgi" and find out yourself. He's also done multiple videos with corridor digital breaking down practical and cgi effects.
Didn't they literally prove you COULD use the boat underwater like in PoTC when they added the weights to it? XD yes it's not like the movie but they did achieve it
why would you go to the effort of burying someone and not handcuff them?
guys be like lets drill a hole to sink a boat instead of just leaning it to fill with water 😂
it was probably just easier considering they had to weight it to counteract the buoyancy of the boat anyways
did they let those crabs die? lol i hope they cooked em up after they finished the experiment lol
6:50 how to get information from dearth vader
The boat myth could have done with steel boat.
How in the hell were you allowed to run equipment on the beach in California?
Adams pirate-voice, (and all the others) are _so_ hard to watch. 😬
Always heartbreaking to see Grant...
They'd have tied up their hands aswell so no chance of getting out!!
lol yeah I called bs on that one when I seen the movie.. the air in it would make it float..ps it doubles every so many feet... so your probably looking at 2000 pounds pulling up on that boat... this is the reason scuba is compressed.
I only like the original mythbusters
1000% the best
Aren't these the original mythbusters?
What’s this?
funniest thing about all this to me is how Jamie actually seems quite _amused_ by Adam's terrible, terrible insistence on his terrible, terrible pirate voice. he's smiling way more than usual in some of those lead-up bits in the shop.
Wet sand you cant escape if you move sand wil compact
Use a steel boat
RIP grant 🙏
Bro didn’t have his arms down the side made it easier on him if ya had your arms straight down and the sand pushed down ya wouldn’t get out

Thanks to Adam's anoying pirate voice I had to skip half the episode.
To me all those scripted conversations make me cringe. His pirate voice doesn't make it that much worse imo
Why'd you use a wooden boat? And you could just add weight to the boat instead of yourselves.
I hate Adam so much in this episodes. But then again I find him insufferable in most episodes...
