I have an idea for you to test on your next show:
take a 9mm pistol and a 22 revolver point them at each other about 3 and a half inches away from each other and fire them at the same time and what will the result be.
PLEASE TEST THIS ON YOUR SHOW!!!

A shotgun plugged by a human finger will backfire and explode injuring or killing the shooter instead of the intended victim.

Unfortunately I've seen a gun blown to bits from some obstruction stuck in the barrel. Could have been ice or mud. Years ago though. Looked like it was peeled open from the end of the gun.

I'll see if I can find other people still around who can confirm it's existence.

My commemnt is about the car door protecting occupant from bullets in a shoot out.

What kind of car was used as I have seen a " myth" busting demonstration by a us marshall using various weapons on targets busting the movie myths and there was the car door although he used the cadillac. Which stopped .45acp rounds and .44 magnum. However use the shotgun with rotor slugs or the good ole .50 rifle you have a different story.

Can spiders live inside Cactus plants? There was a show on about 15 yrs ago that stated that they could. and the cactus exploded and the spider babies all came out. is this a plausible thing?

Thank you

Re: Compact Compact

Haven't seen the episode personally but what sort of loads did the trucks have? Maybe if they were Aussie road trains they might have a little more of a crunch factor....

nothing like 115tonnes+ x2 @ a combined impact speed of 220km/h (132mph) to crush a European compact... hell it would make a mess of a decent Ute (read: pickup)

and while on the subject of mind blowing machines, any chance of you digging up a myth or two about top-fuel drag cars... i would love to know all the facts that are actually facts.
