| Cracks me up when tv shows reach under the dash of a vehicle and the wires are like a foot long to spark them together to start it up lol |

Did a bit if fire protection work on a tv production set a few years back, nothing is as it appears on tv. They burned the same building five times just to get one scene. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

watched on last night where they were trying to break into an Armored Car.... They stuck an air hose in the small window and "PRESSURIZED" the truck until it blew the door off the back.... YEP.. that will work ! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

That’s pretty creative that armored car break in. The physics interesting to think about. I’m picturing say a 48x60 inch back door. 20 psi would apply 57,600 lbs across that door! Of course you’d have to seal the hose hole, and it would take forever to pump that much volume depending on the air compressor, I didn’t see the show... A couple years ago, a guy got killed at a heat treatment company in Saginaw. They were working on a furnace, probably 7 or 8 foot diameter door. They accidentally applied pressure to the chamber instead of vacuum. The door blew off and struck a worker. |

| I know movies and tv shows are a given, that things are fake but the shows on history an discovery channels, the editing could be better, example in gold rush one of the crew brought his 40 something Harley Davidson and they were trying to start it, they show a battery charger and say we need to put it on extra cranking then show him kick start it lol |

The Jet powered Bat Mobile squeals tires and lays rubber. An 8000 lb old wore out SUV will always keep pace with a 2000 lb 700 hp sports car. |

Inspector Erskin (? FBI tv series) took his suit blazer off once and went down a dirt hole to save someone, came back out without a speck on that white dress shirt of his. He can also shoot a stubby revolver with as long and accurate as a shot as a rifle too.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

How do they shoot 25 rounds out of a 6 shot revolver without reloading? Doc Holiday in tombstone at the ok corral is a great example of this ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Was watching Live PD last night and 4 cops were trying to cuff a 6' 200lb pissed off guy. Took them 10 minutes and all the cops were winded afterwards. I told the wife they don't do it nearly as good as the cops on TV.

I read in the movie "Bullet" they had to detune the Charger because the Mustang could't keep up with it. Still, one of the best chase scenes ever! ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Seems every round fired is a tracer or makes sparks and ricochet sound when it hits .

Or the view through a sniper's rifle, showing the crosshairs, and that's where the bullet hits the target (not)... Oh... and action scene... shootout inside a building, up and down stairs, in hallways... and they're still having a conversation... (funny... every time I was in that situation, my ears were ringing so bad, we couldn't hear jack...) <that's why we used hand-signals>... Bomb? Red wire? blue wire? white wire? Screw that- pull the detonator out, yank the wires loose, and put it in your pocket.... wrap the plastque in wax paper, put it in other pocket for later use. When in a serious action, it's always handy to have the ability to whip up a quick shape-charge or two... Wyle E. Coyote wished he had some...

Yep, but don't tell them to nix it from video games... oh, and yes, rapid fire for extended time, but the barrel doesn't get hot... and shoot an adversary, and they're immediately dead... right... ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.
