Mythbusters – Bullets exploding inside an oven

May 30, 2011 by  
Filed under Kitchen Accessories

Myth busters Jamie and Adam tests to see what happens if bullet was left inside an oven. .22 .44 and .50 (12.7mm) calibers.

This is the pizza oven which my Grandfather Ronnie Swan, some studio artists and myself, built in 3 days. We have pizza every Saturday during the Summer so come along see some art and eat pizza! www.southsidestudios.org 17 westmoreland street, glasgow

    if you used hmg chain ammo you’d see some pretty serious fireworks!

    @idq000 the gun barrel is the main reason the bullet could penetrate the oven was what i was trying to say
    just that i forgot to say it

  3. dbluewh says:

    @idq000 i was meaning one thing but i guess i typed something else… back to the comment i was replying to: he said the heavier gun had less recoil and something about that making the bullet go faster
    i was saying that the conservation doesn’t apply, meaning that the conservation isn’t the reason y the bullet is faster because if somehow we found a way to keep the shell intact and in place (without the fun) when it fires the bullet still won’t penetrate the oven

  4. phishintube says:

    at what temp did the gun go off?

  5. idq000 says:

    @dbluewh Also, even if the shell exploded into several pieces, the vector sum of the direction of the shells add up to zero since momentum is conserved per my last reply.

  6. idq000 says:

    @dbluewh Actually, momentum is conserved. When something “explodes”, it just means that the chemical (gunpower) is ignited by heat and releases a lot of GAS in a short amount of time. The gas obviously has mass and pushes against the casing and the bullet with equal force. The momentum is conserved since the explosion happens in a CLOSED system in the casing of the bullet, conserving the force of the explosion. That is why the bullet moves slower than the casing (heavier mass) -m1v1 = m2v2.

    Was anyone else thinking, “No, don’t use a Ruger, use a Taurus!”?

    They changed 2 independent variables at once!

  13. MrLANDRONICS says:

    @TheLolmaster88 nope, a nuke would

  14. Webster109 says:

    @TheLolmaster88 worst case scenario, puting chuck norris in an oven…hell thats impossible he would probabaly lethimself go in jsut to blow the world up.

  15. iEatYourCereal07 says:

    What about a nuke?

  16. mewmewmech says:

    @TheLolmaster88 no a loaded mini-gun is the worst case.

  17. MrHansMachine says:

    Well, who just keeps one round in one place? What if 250 .50 BMG rounds went off?

  18. mustymodo says:

    the girl riding the horny steer at the end of the video looked interesting as well.

  19. TheGorgeramirez says:

    @TheLolmaster88 i HUGE oven with a 800mm in it

  20. BandWagon1987 says:

    What about more than one bullet in the oven at once? Who just stores one bullet?? What about a box of bullets instead? Come on, how did they not think of that?

  21. ARSILUDDE says:

    first of all who would stack bullets in their oven,,, and then only stack one?

  22. srojs1 says:

    i think they forgot something: most of the time you store more than one bullet in what ever place you use!

  23. johnjames92oo says:

    Get a proper screwdriver asshole…..0:54

  24. hqkill says:

    next time put a MG-42 fully loaded in the oven;)

  25. dbluewh says:

    @kentvun actually the conservation of momentum doesn’t apply here since the energy source is chemical (there were no momentum in the 1st place), it doesn’t apply when the net force doesn’t equal to zero especially when the force is exerted by something without mass (heat caused by the chemical reaction) and also the shell exploded into several pieces (change in structure) therefore momentum isn’t conserved

    @Hangitup…How did the dome hold up? I am getting ready to build my oven and I was going to use fire brick on the floor and standard brick on the dome with refractory mortar. I read that most brick should be fine up to about 1200F. My understanding is that the heat in the oven shouldn’t get anywhere close to that.

  27. farstarfilms says:

    basically just need a circle of bricks with a mouth then a concrete cap with vent EZPEZ

  28. hornets599 says:

    @farstarfilms -the better oven is the old oven !

  29. hornets599 says:

    He’s right Freeman01001 and Reginaldo41070, even I have ever seen used fill bricks and clay or mud mortar (from rivers) for the construction of wood-fired ovens, in old Italian countries.

  30. Freeman01001 says:

    ho sempre visto utilizzare mattoni refrattari pieni, non foratini

  31. kikicreamify says:

    @kikicreamify the size they built looks nice. i mean you could always stick some quarry tiles in your gas grill that works too but I want to hear your modern day suggestion

  32. farstarfilms says:

    @kikicreamify well 1 what size were u looking to have?

  33. kikicreamify says:

    @farstarfilms whats the modern high tech way of building one?

  34. pkkda says:

    A picture is worth a thousand words. This brief video is more informative than a book.

  35. Reginaldo41070 says:

    Este Forno não é para pizzaria ele não aguenta muito tempo pois não tem projeto, ele é apenas residencial para usar as vezes. sou construtor a mais de 15 anos e conheço bem este trabalho.

  36. JogBird says:

    i have no idea how i got here, but, thats pretty cool

  37. donny2pins says:

    hi,do not want to be rude ,but what a waste of time and money, you will have to replace all the floor bricks and sooner or later the dome too , i have my own company building wood fired pizza ovens for residential and resturants here in uk and back home in italy so i know that was completely the wrong thing to do .a bit of advice take the dome down before it comes down by itself which it will sooner or later and use fire bricks please.you can get reclaimed ones for half the cost .

  38. farstarfilms says:

    u dont need to do all that for a pizza oven besides that primative way of building one!! LOL

  40. Hangitup says:

    @haxixatajba yeah fire bricks are better- we couldn’t afford them at the time so we used a 10 hole clay brick, using this after time the floor of the oven breaks up. so using fire bricks for the floor is a must. try finding recycled fire bricks.

  41. del690 says:

    @sofalump77 Where do you get these blankets?

  42. sofalump77 says:

    @haxixatajba I built one similar to this one & I used fire bricks. You can go to Lowes or Home Depot & they can help you out with that. Fire bricks are great!

  43. sofalump77 says:

    @kel27280 Hi I built one similar to this but I insulated mine with a heat blanket that holds up to 1250 degrees. I do suggest insulating it. I can have mine fired up all day and you can lay your hand on the dome of the oven & it’s not hot at all on the outside.

  44. haxixatajba says:

    what kind of brick you used becauce i am with the scouts and i cook for the group and it is convieniese having such a big oven

  45. Komitet300 says:

    humans ftw

  46. Hangitup says:

    @kel27280
    the oven now has reinforcing mesh and cement fondue coating but no real insulation

  47. Hangitup says:

    the oven works extreamly well- making 32 pizza in one firing

  48. whakawhakapapa says:

    @Hangitup hi – what is the track to the video please?

  49. BestOvensLondon says:

    @mycard332211 VERY FLMZI JOB

  50. donnyab says:

    @BestOvensLondon
    Can’t stand the competition….how the hell can CO2 poison people this way….where is the carbon dioxide being breathed in ?
    Maybe it crystallizes into the Pizza, little crunchy nuggets of carbon dioxide ?
