I watched the show for the first time tonight. How often do they need to hire new staff? "Just a small charge." The guy said.

There are certain permits that allow studios and special effects companies to pretty much do whatever they want when it comes to prop guns and the like. I don't know if they have such a permit, but it is entirely possible. If the BATFE wants to go busting the Mythbusters for "making" machine guns, then they have truly lost their minds. |

That stuff with the airplane shows alot of good info. Makes me less nervous about sky marshalls blasting bad guys at 35k feet.

some of their mythbusting is questionable, but they always take it to the next level and totall destroy/blow up/etc. whatever they were working on.

Remember when they filled a huge 6ft tall plexiglass container with gasoline vapor and tried to detonate it with a cell phone? I would guess that could be construed as constructing an illegal explosive device.

They used a spinning disk with a protrusion to fire the pistol, which if they had loaded the magazine with more than one round and allowed to continue spinning, it would have discharged more than one round per action (holding down the 'fire' switch). They would have been 100% ok if they had designed the device such that it had to be manually reset by a human between shots.

Around the same time they bust the felon hollywood actors (Like Robert Downey Jr. in US Marshalls) for handing real guns on film.

So if I take a Hand-Cranked Gatlin Gun and attach an electric motor (cordless drill or something) have I created an illegal machinegun?
Gatlin Gun is not an NFA gun. It is still only firing the cartridges by cranking the handle, but I'm just using electricity to crank it faster! ...............something to ponder!

As opposed to declaring a shoestring a machine gun? Or spending millions of dollars, killing an innocent woman, and trampling civil rights just to get a guy who may or may not have cut his shotgun barrel below the legal length?

BATF will do nothing as long as the message is anti-gun.
One of those major news outlets (not sure if it was Nightline or 60 Minutes) did an expose on how easy it was to convert an AK-47 into full auto during the height of the AW ban in 1989. They found a "qualified" gunsmith willing to swap out parts and viola, insant machine gun, though they never bothered to show it being shot on full auto.  No interest then, doubtful any action now. |

okay they might be safe on that one, the mechanism they used was from a soda machine. it would do one full rotation per electrical pulse... at least in a stock setup. so if the system was stock they would have to send a trigger pulse each time it was fired, a soda machine does not keep dropping sodas when you hold the button down

This is technically correct. ATF does not care what the 'trigger' is, so long as that it does not fire more than one round per activation of it. So long as you must continue to press the 'trigger' over and over for each shot, you haven't created a machine gun. At least technically. Now, seeing as ATF lives in fantasy land and produces forth from their rectums 'The LAW,' they would likely classify it a machine gun anyway. But, I digress. The Mythbusters get a free pass from me because, as was pointed out earlier, they have Kari on the show.

Do you ever watch the show? I can't remember anything they've done being anti-gun. In fact, they've destroyed several myths that are probably common to the anti-gun crowd: shooting in a plane will not have drastic decompression effects, shooting a gas tank on a car - even with an "evil .50 cal" - will not cause an explosion, shooting someone will not cause them to fly back like ten feet, bullets (again, including "evil .50 caliber") will not travel far (at ALL) under water, etc. Come to think of it....they have done a LOT of stuff involving firearms. I'd say a good 10% of the stuff they do involves some good shootin' action.  ----------------------- Also, I have been wondering about the ATF giving the Mythbusters some trouble, but not because of the reasons in this thread. I think they're technically breaking a gun law since they are in San Fransico and have multiple handguns in the studio, which is technically illegal now (or at least it was a few months ago). |
