  With the mention of the slo mo guys, there are enough people that are here making videos that are absolutely inspired by you folks that I bet would jump at the chance to to use their setups with you to test out some of the new myths and techniques you are talking about on here. Kentucky Ballistics is one that I bet would be up for it, but there are many great people out there doing things!

  I just wanna say you two have played a huge part in my life of exploring new things I watched every episode of Myth busters. Ya’ll two were made for that. So thank you for your hard work it did mean something to me and now the podcast it takes me back.   Thanks for the good times.

  The myth I’d love to see Tori and Kari look at is the dramatic slow-mo scenes where they eject the clip and reload with the full clip that someone has thrown to them. They somehow magically are able to line up the clip perfectly and load it directly into the gun and start shooting again without touching the clip with their hands.

  This would have been a good one to have Scott from Kentucky Ballistics on😁

  Adding to the reload problem. Even when the movies show changing magazines, you don't realize how much ammo that actually  uses. Each person would be dragging a trunk of ammo for them to shoot off.

  That Kari&apos;s &quot;I know&quot; yell sounded so much Monica Geller/Bing 😂😂

  Discarding empty mags in a gunfight is exactly what you’d want to do. Focus is on keeping the firearm in the fight. Empty mags are worthless in a fight. Fights are over in moments.

  I like how a magazine holds 20 rounds but shoots 200 rounds.

  Yes it was the Lethal Weapon movie that you did the nail gun myth about. Denzel Washington did it in one of the Equalizer movies as well.

  About dropped guns, we know a gun will go off if the trigger is pulled. &nbsp;When dropped, some guns will fire without the trigger being activated.

  In regards to the scene from True lies, its more likely the gun itself was a bad replica or poorly maintained and the internals were constantly being bumped and failing causing a misfire, a lot of smgs use direct blowback where the bolt moves back from the recoil of the bullet going off and then moves forward into position where a catch keeps it from hitting the primer again. If that catch is poorly made or worn down then the bolt will just move forward and hit the round, in the case of falling down the stairs its a bump fire to start but once it goes it&apos;ll keep firing until it runs empty.
