Yeah, nice little paper houses they build over there, with crawl space and such. Recently saw a cops episode where a lady drove into a house, through a brick wall (really looked like bricks) and her car just had few scratches.
a .22 might be stopped by a brick or stone wall, maybe. 5.56 or 7.62 Nato will penetrate but probably deviate and slow down 12.7 will go through even concrete mythbusters coud have done an extra episode
People think they are being smart in the replies. They are still newer seasons, considering there was only one more after that. "Newer" is relative to the subject. Gunpowder is newer than arrows. Doesn't mean it's new to us.
Tonally there's a massive shift. The music is all dramatic, the vibe is trying to be 'badass' whereas the previous format was much more light hearted. So weird!
it's also way too overcut, like they keep cutting lines together to save like milliseconds and it makes whoever's talking sound so artificial they do that with reality tv and I hate it JUST LEMME HEAR THE DAMN "UH"S AND "UM"S IT SOUNDS WORSE WHEN YOU CUT THEM OUT (yes I'm getting mad at a show from several years ago)
Everybody who saw Shoot 'Em Up knows that it's an over the top action movie. I mean, the main hero of the movie is trying to teach a baby to shoot. Nothing in that movie is meant to be taken seriously.
True, but the same thing can be said about Wanted, and enough people requested to see if its iconic move could actually be done. Whether or not a movie should be taken seriously, let alone if it was what the director and the production team wanted, ultimately does not matter (see Verhoeven's _Starship Troopers_ if you want an example of such a massive disconnect between a rather sizable portion of its fans and the director's intentions).
There are 2 reasons why shooting thru wall based on sound doesn't work that well: 1) they have earplugs / headsets, even the military ones that muffle loud sounds, they are not true positional audio. lot of people think that reason why humans hear location of sound is beacuse sound hits one ear before other, but this is NOT true. if it was true, you'd not be able to tell if target is directly in front or behind if it's same distance from both ears. also people who are deaf from one ear, are still able to pinpoint direction of sound very accurately. reason why you hear location of sound, is shape of your ear. smartereveryday tested it and explained it. so any kind of ear protection messes with your ability to be able to tell where sound is coming from 2) if sound is behind a wall, then there will be echo and distortion, you might hear target right where you aiming, but actually it could be on either side. they should have had overhead camera, showing where they are aiming. i bet they were aiming slightly off due sound distortion as target was behind a wall. in real scenario it would be even harder. so in real life if you are running from someone who has a gun, as soon as you get behind a wall, do something unexpected so shooter can't track your movement and then you should be safe. altho i think best way to hit someone would be to do something in between what they did. don't shoot too fast, but don't shoot too slow either. maybe do 2-3 shot bursts towards the location. regardless what some say, you can learn this method from games. it doesn't matter that it's a game, experience is same. you hear target behind a wall and you shoot towards it. you need true positional audio headset tho. i have tiamat 7.1, it has 5 speakers on each side, which replicates position of audio very accurately. those virtual surround headsets are rubbish. i see people in counter-strike constantly spinning around and not be able to tell if sound is in front or behind, but with my headset i can pinpoint every sound very accurately and shoot based on it. altho in a game there's no audio distortion, that's something i haven't seen in any game. i mean that sounds are coming from source, they don't appear to be coming slightly off like in real life. for example in real life if you hear a helicopter or plane in urban environment or inside house, it's very hard telling where this sound is coming from, it could be bouncing off other buildings and you could be looking completely wrong direction. you'd have to move around a bit to be able to tell where sound is coming from exactly. their paintball test proved what i said, they had no ear protection and real situation, it's possible if you know what you're doing.
Lol I was sitting here watching them test bullets in a hand in the fire, and my scepticism was HIGH from the get-go. Remember the Hot Bullets myth? Guns and ammo in the oven? When it came to ammo outside a gun, there was more danger from the casing going flying than the bullet itself! Frankly I'm surprised the bullet went as deep as it did.
Without having watched to the end: A cartridge without a breech around it is a tiny bomb. Even if the bullets went flying, those cartridges would mince the fingers.
I somehow never watched this season of Mythbusters before, so first of all big thanks for uploading it! I guess they never brought it to my country? Or maybe I was just at that age where I had... other interests... That said, I am kinda glad I didn't, because Breaking Bad COMPLETELY flew under my Radar at the time and I only watched it fairly recently, and seeing "Mike" in this episode brought a smile to my face like I don't think it would have back when the season first aired. :D
I guess one of the reasons they are made from cardboard - much less the costs when leveled by tornado. Bricks outside and inside might still not be enough. So the homes are made semi-permanent. I might be wrong though.
@@d4slaimless You are indeed wrong, proper european style brick/stone buildings won't suffer at all from tornados, only thing that might be affected is the roofing but this heavily depends on the style of roofing Had a quite severe storm about a decade ago exceeding 180mph in my area and while it trashed windows and destroyed roofs and facades, the houses themselfs pretty much unharmed, way cheaper and faster to repair the damages then to rebuild a new wooden-shack-style house

This IS season 9, for Banjai. Different TV Networks use different Seasons for their schedules. It might be a different season in the US but this is an Australian TV Network.
There has never been a consistent season count for Mythbusters, between year of first publication, official website, fan sites, all the different/international TV networks, DVD releases, streaming releases... there are at least half a dozen logical/official ways to count seasons.

Whoever thought this was a myth to begin with? American walls... In Europe however, most walls, even interior walls, are brick or concrete. When I was watching a program about tornadoes in the USA, I incidentally learned that most of all buildings in The Netherlands are actually tornado impact proof (flying beams won't penetrate the walls), just because most buildings here are constructed with bricks and concrete. Why? Because in the USA, wood is a cheap and plentiful available building material while in The Netherlands, we have few trees but loads of sand, clay, pebbles which are raw materials for bricks and concrete.
24:26 .. SO cool .. love the listen to / hearing protectors! ... This aired in 2015 .. I imagine the price has dropped an the quality is UP for any similar product! .. A GREAT investment to protect your hearing :)
26:50 the footstep sound is too slow despite the speed of the target's movement 😅 When someone walks or runs or crouches his way I hear it constantly and instantly 😅 When I played gotcha (paintball) in an building, I heard the opponent constantly and prepared at the next opening of the wall, because I knew his position almost instantly. 😅 And with the techno-earphones you're using, you'll have hearing delay aside your own delay from brain progression... Making the whole test much more inaccurate than usually needed. 🎉
The more I watch these later seasons of Mythbusters.. it's honestly lovely seeing Jamie open up a bit more than he used to and embrace some of the weirdness. Kinda a shame he left the spotlight after mysthbusters and a few appearences on Tested
I noticed they were in playing John Farnham “your the voice” in the background which is an Aussie iconic tune. When are you coming down under to Australia bro???
Maybe the wire and metal rod acted as a heatsink drawing the heat away from the bullet shell ...maybe a better test would be to use a piece of wood or a non heat conductive material holding the bullet
17:08 OH !! I learned something watchin TH-cam, and commenting with creators. This is for experts, or anyone who is familiar with, the technical aspects of using Oxy Acet torches. The appearance of the torches FLAME profile, colour, and size, ON the computer, does NOT accurately reflect how it appears IRL, in anyway. Even the slightest change to the camera's settings, and editing, an change the flame appearance drastically! I was telling tis creator how to adjust the flame to adjust the Acetylene and Oxygen, volume and pleasure settings for the proper flame profile .. Its very common for causal users, who learned by "doing" without academic instruction .. to not be aware of the different flame types and how to set and use them. Anyway I digress :) .. the TH-camr actually had taken a welding course, and was well versed! ... It was my ignorance of videography that made me think the flame was not adjusted properly! :)
I'm glad I read your comment because I was thinking that at that point, his flame looked yellow(No oxygen, right?) but we know Jamie isn't stoopid, he knows what he's doing there. It did make me question though.
I, a Pole: ... You realy don't read "three little pigs, do you?" Try that with 20 cm brick/~8in concrete inner walls and 42 cm (~16,5in )brick/concrete out walls. "My home is my castle"
Awesome episode. Bloody LOVED the whole triangulation thing, and the ending with the paintballs. Cool AF, and Jonathan Banks as mike Ehrmantraut was the icing on the cake 😃😊
Now if only in addition to testing Hollywood hitmen's tricks, they could have gone and tested the many shenanigans of Video Gaming's most iconic Hitman... Agent 47 has done some ridiculous things.
Possibly they just focused on building techniques commonly used at the time and most houses these days don't really use bricks on a main floor for a dividing wall.
Exactly. Not everybody’s building card board boxes as houses, and since this was an international format it’s a bit disappointing. Yeah, this represents the world of 4% of this planet‘s population, but come on! Wouldn’t it be great to see others materials? Many movies are playing at places like europe, japan or the middle east, so use that techniques to (even if the results for handguns might be quite obvious for European houses)
@@erebostd In one episode they do talk about time constraints they deal with and at times they are working on multiple myths at once, a producer could have just decided they didn't have enough time to test every viable form of construction material and focused on common materials in there region. In one of the revisits they did they also mention they do look at more expanded elements of a myth but they just don't have the time to show them on air.
does anyone by chance know the specific brand of right angle light Adam has on the firemans jacket he's wearing? its not a Streamlight or pelican as far as I can tell.
why do they always mess up .. the hand holding bullets, WHY didn't they put more pressure? Adam clearly doesn't have much strength, they should have invited a rock climber or someone else who has lot of strength in fingers and measured his grip and used that in their experiment, considering that in movie it was life or death situation, he was probably squeezing his hand really hard and even harder when fire started burning his hand, so they should have considering that in that situation even average person will be squeezing it a lot harder. would have been cool to see if bullet would have done lethal damage when held tighter. i'm thinking someone who trains his fingers would have at least 4-5x more grip than Adam.
I must say this: when I was 18, I was a sport pistol shooter (I'm 60 now) but back in a day we were doing stupid things in a range (indoor one) so with the ligths off I've been able to hit a silhouette size target 25 miters out 6 times out 9 rounds purely by the sound.
Funny how they couldnt get the bullets to ignite faster than 8sec. In S5E18 'red rag to a bull' they also threw a bunch of bullets on a campfire and they went of within 2 seconds easily. Probably different bullets but still I think they also put in 9mm in that test
When you throw cartridges into a campfire they are going to be embedded in superhot embers, thatheat will also get transferred very quickly to the entire shell casing of the cartridge, thus enabling the primer to get heated to ignition temperature much quicker than with heat being applied on one side only..
On bricks I'm pretty sure the bullet would have shattered into not much more than dust and only chipped a bit of the brick off. But proper drywall would be interesting.
15:10 .. At this point I guessed no way 2 seconds, at least SIX .. my son agreed with Adam it's be almost immediate. My son says "How did you know"? .. I relied simple I've done that before :)
also depends on where you are. for example in europe you have far less wooden homes and way more reinforced concrete walls. no hand gun is going to get through that.
A 9mm will indeed penetrate the thinner, inner walls of my house (single thickness of hollow brick). It will most definitely NOT penetrate if it hits one of the 30 cm thick, reinforced concrete, pillars that are part of these walls. It will actually be laughed at by the 80cm thick external walls, but that's not normal even in Europe (I live in an 1980's-built house)
@notfeedynotlazy enen older european houses made from bricks will stop the 9mm and reinforced concrete buildings are far nore common than 6ou think with all those old buildings being replaced after the war or due to fire, instabiliti etc. Even mij house is reinforced concrete (annoying faradey cage construction) and it was from thec1960s or a tad earlier
@@triumvir_hunt Dude, read again the "MY" house part. I'm not from Twig-House Land, what makes you think I'm not _extremely_ familiar with how frequent reinforced concrete buildings are here at the right side of the Pond? 🙂
I came to the comments section to suggest that they should have also tested this on European walls...but then I saw that the comments section was already filled with this suggestion/complaint. So, I will add just one thing: Have you guys seen the meme of 2 images with the top image saying "USA" and you see a hole in a wall and the bottom image says "Europe" and you see an intact wall but there's someone next to the wall with a cast on their hand. I think it's hilarious!
To wondering, the build team (Kari, Tory, & Grant) got cut off by production because of their contracts. Neither Jamie nor Adam liked this change but they continued to host the show for two years without them before it all ended.
That's what happens if you only build scrappy shacks instead of actual stone/brick houses, you get shot, or it swims away or a light wind will not only unroof your 'house' but completely take it away *g*
I KNEW Jamie was a cyborg. Also that gun Adam is shooting at the range, that looks like the Beretta 92FS or some sub variant of that, more commonly known as the M9 in the military. Great classic firearm with lots of history. Also, the reason why the primer doesn't go off in the heat is because it's not designed to. It's designed to go off when the firing pin of a given firearm strikes it, and a spark is created by the anvil in the primer being hit. That spark ignites the priming compound, which ignites the smokeless powder, which creates the pressure necessary to send your bullet down range. Even if you could do it, and fire a bullet out of a casing by putting your hand in a fire, the bullets would neither be lethal nor accurate. The lethality of a projectile comes largely from speed. That speed is gained by pressure building up in the case, and having nowhere to go (as it would usually be sitting in the chamber of a firearm, and be pushed back against the bolt face of the firearm after firing) except straight forward, which is what propels the projectile down the barrel - which is what gives it its accuracy. With neither barrel nor chamber, nor a place for the pressure to build and provide the propellant needed to send the bullet down range, you'd have nothing more than a pop and maybe a superficial skin wound at best.
It´s definetly a Berreta 92FS and not a Beretta M9, which are not the same btw. U can clearly see the 2 dots at the rear sights which means 3-dot system. M9 got 2-dot system. The M9 also got aluminium frame while the 92FS got a steel frame. The 92FS also got an ambidextrous decocker. It´s the better gun imho^^
They could've had significantly higher chance of hitting the moving target behind the drywall if they got rid of the military headset and added a very good suppressor to the pistol and subsonic ammo so that they'd have superb triangulation ability without damaging their ears from the shots.
Jonathan Banks being 'Jamie, but grumpier' is pretty funny.
I found it pretty retarded.
I think he portrays what Jamie was actually feeling at this point of the show?

And with the techno-earphones you're using, you'll have hearing delay aside your own delay from brain progression... Making the whole test much more inaccurate than usually needed. 🎉
9:05 well in a classic usa house it goes thru but a house building out kf concrete or stone etc it looks different.
This may work in america, but not in European houses designed to withstand the once every 100 year brotherly fights.
The more I watch these later seasons of Mythbusters.. it's honestly lovely seeing Jamie open up a bit more than he used to and embrace some of the weirdness.
Kinda a shame he left the spotlight after mysthbusters and a few appearences on Tested
I noticed they were in playing John Farnham “your the voice” in the background which is an Aussie iconic tune. When are you coming down under to Australia bro???
absolutely amazing
Maybe the wire and metal rod acted as a heatsink drawing the heat away from the bullet shell ...maybe a better test would be to use a piece of wood or a non heat conductive material holding the bullet
Had the Same thought
17:08 OH !! I learned something watchin TH-cam, and commenting with creators. This is for experts, or anyone who is familiar with, the technical aspects of using Oxy Acet torches.
The appearance of the torches FLAME profile, colour, and size, ON the computer, does NOT accurately reflect how it appears IRL, in anyway.
Even the slightest change to the camera's settings, and editing, an change the flame appearance drastically!
I was telling tis creator how to adjust the flame to adjust the Acetylene and Oxygen, volume and pleasure settings for the proper flame profile ..
Its very common for causal users, who learned by "doing" without academic instruction .. to not be aware of the different flame types and how to set and use them.
Anyway I digress :) .. the TH-camr actually had taken a welding course, and was well versed! ... It was my ignorance of videography that made me think the flame was not adjusted properly! :)
I'm glad I read your comment because I was thinking that at that point, his flame looked yellow(No oxygen, right?) but we know Jamie isn't stoopid, he knows what he's doing there.
It did make me question though.
I, a Pole: ... You realy don't read "three little pigs, do you?"
Try that with 20 cm brick/~8in concrete inner walls and 42 cm (~16,5in )brick/concrete out walls.
"My home is my castle"
i live in amsterdam and a lot houses are very old lik 1600s old brik walls so i think they can stop a bullet
What year is this season from?
Can't believe they brought Mike back to life for this
Who else prefers the older episodes with Tory, Grant & Kari?
They kinda lost the fun. But yeah S9 is not my cup of tea
Everyone.
@@MrJimheeren this isn't season 9... This is 2015 season, or season 13.... its also episode 11 of season 13
Yeah definitely better dynamics
@@PBMS123 okay. But why does the description say S9 E04
I wonder if any of the film crew got a go at the shootin room?
Awesome episode. Bloody LOVED the whole triangulation thing, and the ending with the paintballs. Cool AF, and Jonathan Banks as mike Ehrmantraut was the icing on the cake 😃😊
I just rewatched Beverly Hills Cop and realised Jonathon was one of the bad guys in that!
Now if only in addition to testing Hollywood hitmen's tricks, they could have gone and tested the many shenanigans of Video Gaming's most iconic Hitman... Agent 47 has done some ridiculous things.
Where’s the standard internal brick supporting wall then?
Possibly they just focused on building techniques commonly used at the time and most houses these days don't really use bricks on a main floor for a dividing wall.
This is not a common way of building in North America.
@@JacobConkin Especially in California
Exactly. Not everybody’s building card board boxes as houses, and since this was an international format it’s a bit disappointing. Yeah, this represents the world of 4% of this planet‘s population, but come on! Wouldn’t it be great to see others materials? Many movies are playing at places like europe, japan or the middle east, so use that techniques to (even if the results for handguns might be quite obvious for European houses)
@@erebostd In one episode they do talk about time constraints they deal with and at times they are working on multiple myths at once, a producer could have just decided they didn't have enough time to test every viable form of construction material and focused on common materials in there region.
In one of the revisits they did they also mention they do look at more expanded elements of a myth but they just don't have the time to show them on air.
I wasn't expecting kid named finger to be on this episode
You can tell the later seasons when they never do shots together cos they hate each other so much by then. LOL
does anyone by chance know the specific brand of right angle light Adam has on the firemans jacket he's wearing? its not a Streamlight or pelican as far as I can tell.
Why are these blocked in the US?

why do they always mess up .. the hand holding bullets, WHY didn't they put more pressure? Adam clearly doesn't have much strength, they should have invited a rock climber or someone else who has lot of strength in fingers and measured his grip and used that in their experiment, considering that in movie it was life or death situation, he was probably squeezing his hand really hard and even harder when fire started burning his hand, so they should have considering that in that situation even average person will be squeezing it a lot harder.
would have been cool to see if bullet would have done lethal damage when held tighter. i'm thinking someone who trains his fingers would have at least 4-5x more grip than Adam.
I wonder how a deathmatch gamer would do in the blind sound triangulation shooting. I remember it used to be an important skill in the late 90's.
Would be mad to see some of there stuff with the new high speed cameras that are about
Mike knew the layout of the room and he had the guy subtly showing him where to shoot he didnt just blindly do it
Finger in a mythbuster episode!!!
Ignoring all the complaints in the comments, it really looks like Adam and Jaimie are having a lot of fun this season
I must say this: when I was 18, I was a sport pistol shooter (I'm 60 now) but back in a day we were doing stupid things in a range (indoor one) so with the ligths off I've been able to hit a silhouette
size target 25 miters out 6 times out 9 rounds purely by the sound.
But it wasn't moving and behind a wall. Also targets don't make noise
Funny how they couldnt get the bullets to ignite faster than 8sec. In S5E18 'red rag to a bull' they also threw a bunch of bullets on a campfire and they went of within 2 seconds easily. Probably different bullets but still I think they also put in 9mm in that test
When you throw cartridges into a campfire they are going to be embedded in superhot embers, thatheat will also get transferred very quickly to the entire shell casing of the cartridge, thus enabling the primer to get heated to ignition temperature much quicker than with heat being applied on one side only..
Shame they didn't test penetration on proper drywall or bricks.
On bricks I'm pretty sure the bullet would have shattered into not much more than dust and only chipped a bit of the brick off. But proper drywall would be interesting.
@@Lampe2020first shot destroys the brick second goes through the dust
@@crossfox1991 With HP's? Absolutely no chance.
Would have to move to something more spicy.
15:10 .. At this point I guessed no way 2 seconds, at least SIX .. my son agreed with Adam it's be almost immediate.
My son says "How did you know"? .. I relied simple I've done that before :)
Jamie shooting Adam. He probably was never that happy again. :D
15:38 I'm dying xDDD
Jamie is such a camper lol 41:45
Why not bricks and morter , most homes in Australia have interior/ exterior walls are bricks or Steel colour bond.
They should've tested brick walls aswell, because almost everywhere in the world uses them.
also depends on where you are. for example in europe you have far less wooden homes and way more reinforced concrete walls. no hand gun is going to get through that.
A 9mm will indeed penetrate the thinner, inner walls of my house (single thickness of hollow brick). It will most definitely NOT penetrate if it hits one of the 30 cm thick, reinforced concrete, pillars that are part of these walls. It will actually be laughed at by the 80cm thick external walls, but that's not normal even in Europe (I live in an 1980's-built house)
@notfeedynotlazy enen older european houses made from bricks will stop the 9mm and reinforced concrete buildings are far nore common than 6ou think with all those old buildings being replaced after the war or due to fire, instabiliti etc. Even mij house is reinforced concrete (annoying faradey cage construction) and it was from thec1960s or a tad earlier
@@triumvir_hunt Dude, read again the "MY" house part. I'm not from Twig-House Land, what makes you think I'm not _extremely_ familiar with how frequent reinforced concrete buildings are here at the right side of the Pond? 🙂
This is gold 😂
2 4 5 7. …89 ten. Who counts like that 😂😂😂😂😂
2:21
I came to the comments section to suggest that they should have also tested this on European walls...but then I saw that the comments section was already filled with this suggestion/complaint. So, I will add just one thing:
Have you guys seen the meme of 2 images with
the top image saying "USA" and you see a hole in a wall and the bottom image says "Europe" and you see an intact wall but there's someone next to the wall with a cast on their hand.
I think it's hilarious!
Confirmed and Busted at one 😂
we rented this high speed camera, i will be damned if we don't use it for almost everything xD
1:00 never remember this episode since its the first time jamie's shirt got soiled
To wondering, the build team (Kari, Tory, & Grant) got cut off by production because of their contracts. Neither Jamie nor Adam liked this change but they continued to host the show for two years without them before it all ended.
Very possible that the gunpowder might ignite in the shell before the primer
you shot in an OPEN FIELD where the sounds are dispersed - not unlike in 'ENCLOSED SPACES LIKE A HOUSE where sounds can be magnified!
That's what happens if you only build scrappy shacks instead of actual stone/brick houses, you get shot, or it swims away or a light wind will not only unroof your 'house' but completely take it away *g*
I KNEW Jamie was a cyborg. Also that gun Adam is shooting at the range, that looks like the Beretta 92FS or some sub variant of that, more commonly known as the M9 in the military. Great classic firearm with lots of history.
Also, the reason why the primer doesn't go off in the heat is because it's not designed to. It's designed to go off when the firing pin of a given firearm strikes it, and a spark is created by the anvil in the primer being hit. That spark ignites the priming compound, which ignites the smokeless powder, which creates the pressure necessary to send your bullet down range.
Even if you could do it, and fire a bullet out of a casing by putting your hand in a fire, the bullets would neither be lethal nor accurate. The lethality of a projectile comes largely from speed. That speed is gained by pressure building up in the case, and having nowhere to go (as it would usually be sitting in the chamber of a firearm, and be pushed back against the bolt face of the firearm after firing) except straight forward, which is what propels the projectile down the barrel - which is what gives it its accuracy. With neither barrel nor chamber, nor a place for the pressure to build and provide the propellant needed to send the bullet down range, you'd have nothing more than a pop and maybe a superficial skin wound at best.
It´s definetly a Berreta 92FS and not a Beretta M9, which are not the same btw. U can clearly see the 2 dots at the rear sights which means 3-dot system. M9 got 2-dot system.
The M9 also got aluminium frame while the 92FS got a steel frame. The 92FS also got an ambidextrous decocker. It´s the better gun imho^^
They could've had significantly higher chance of hitting the moving target behind the drywall if they got rid of the military headset and added a very good suppressor to the pistol and subsonic ammo so that they'd have superb triangulation ability without damaging their ears from the shots.
9:48 try walls in the UK, they are made of brick 🧱 and where I live in Asia they are made out of foot thick steel reinforced concrete.
Still wonder to this day how they talked Jamie into doing the opening segment .
