Myth Busters- Guns and Ammunition Stored in Your Oven

Myth busters- guns and ammunition stored in your oven. 2nd hour Allison Evans

The problem of this myth busters episode is that some people are using there stove to store gun bullets because they think that’s the last place anyone would look. Then some forget that there are bullets in the oven and they start to bake food in with the lead. Many people even leave guns in there ovens.

Adam and Jamie are going to a range and they are going to test what a gun or what bullets would do in an oven. Would they explode maybe eve melt, they will find out. The results of them testing if a gun bullet will go through a glass oven door it does. With a 22 pistol the bullet does not go to the human standing at the oven. This pistol does however break the glass. So they tried a 44 pistol that was the same as the 22 almost. The next step from the pistol would be the shotgun. They are going to shoot through an oven with the shotgun next, to see if it will harm you. They shot at the oven three times. The shotgun did not do anything.

Adam and Jamie are going to bake bullets to see what they will do. There are three questions they will answer with this test. One is will the bullet really go off in the oven. Two is will it escape out of the oven if so.

Three is if they get out of the oven how lethal are they. Adam put a 22 caliber bullet in the oven and it did not shatter the glass. The bullet was even facing the door. The bullet part did not do anything, it just fell down. The casing (brass) of the bullet is what actually caused the dent in the back of the oven. Then they put a 44 caliber bullet in the oven and that bullet performed the same as the 22 caliber had. So they figure that a 50 caliber may do some damage. As they predicted the 50 caliber blew the glass on the oven. But it was only the inner layer of the glass that was shattered. It would not be able to hurt anyone.

If you chambered a bullet inside a pistol and put it in the oven would it explode in anyway that would be dangerous? They are testing a 44 caliber loaded pistol an oven at 236 degrees. The bullet left the barrel at a lethal velocity. The gun fired in the oven shattered both layers of glass. A loaded gun in an oven could kill you, myth confirmed.

What happens if you throw a bullet in an open campfire? Adam and Jamie build a fire and sets up glass around it just for a shield. They are pouring 50. 22. and 44. Calibers into the fire all at once. They have a robot sitting by the fire just like a person would to check it when or if the bullets fire or explode. With the fire is at a roaring heat of over 1,000 degrees Adam and Jamie are expecting an instant reaction.

There are many bullets in the fire that did not even fire. But some of the bullets would be lethal but what would harm you if anything would be the casing or the brass. The 50. Caliber casing would be the only casing that would probably harm you... Because the results from the campfire were not what they expected they are putting bug spray in a campfire to see if it’s really flammable. Both cans of paint spray exploded. The bottles of paint spray were exploding in the air as the spray came out of the bottle. Paint spray on a campfire is definitely lethal. Next they are making a bigger fire and testing what happens if a keg of beer gets thrown onto a campfire. Because the fire is so hot its ganna bring the stainless steel to fatigue point and its going to build up a tremendous amount of steam pressure inside from the gallon of beer they left in the keg. Hopefully they think by those facts that it will explode in 25 minutes from when they put it on the fire. That was a very good guess because 20 minutes later the keg explodes. This was no little explosion either. Surprisingly the keg is still in one piece. There were many spots that were almost separate though. The results are that you would get very hurt if you were by a fire that someone threw a keg with a gallon of beer in it. Anything by the fire a rock, a stone becomes a lethal projectile.
