This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring Scott, humorously tests the 'Looney Tunes' myth of a carrot causing a shotgun barrel to explode. Using a pump-action 12 Gauge shotgun and a remote firing mechanism for safety, they demonstrate that a carrot lodged in the barrel indeed causes catastrophic failure upon firing, splitting the barrel. The experiment highlights the dangers of barrel obstructions and confirms the destructive potential seen in cartoons.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian tests the myth of shooting an AK-47 straight up, emphasizing safety with ballistic helmets and observing round behavior. It also demonstrates the X Products Can Cannon, a specialized AR-15 upper for launching projectiles using .223 blanks. The experiment concludes with explosive tests on propane tanks, showcasing a blend of myth-busting and specialized gear demonstration.
