How to light multiple matches with a single bullet – Upping Mythbusters
Posted on August 02, 2010 by Ed

We had a little fun while trying to light matches with a bullet. Turns out, after we got all our fixturing dialed in, we were able to light multiple matches with a single bullet. A phantom high speed camera helps tell the story. Mythbusters only tried to light one match with a bullet, so we figured we might as well try to push the envelope. I’m sure Jamie and Adam have the budget and time to figure out the perfect curve to stack arrange all the bullets in to light all matches. They’re good like that! Heck, give us a little credit. We’re rednecks. We’re lucky we can even read.
