It was disapointing. I do think it was an earlier episode though because they didnt blow anything up really well. Its all good though...

My retirement plan:

Become dive master

Learn to do demolitions and explosive work

Start my own special effects company

Grow an awesome mustache

I saw that one. Doesn't it go through the wall they built and crack the wall of the building?

YEP,

it goes clear through the wall they built just to destroy. And it cracks the wall behind it.. quite a bit of power in that tank.

I would definitely hate to be on the receiving end of one of those things!!!


I enjoyed the JAWS mythbusters, as well, where they tried shooting the tank with a .308

Was that a compressed air or a C02 cylinder?

I believe it was just a compressed air tank.

do you think it would be any different if it was a co2 tank.

On another note, there was a movie where they used oxygen tanks as missiles to shoot the guard tower and break out of prison. I think it had bruce willis in it.
