Mythbusters 09/17/08 "Water Stun Gun"
No thread?
Seemed like a lot of work on the water stun gun. Let's see, you could rig up a continuous water stream, hook up a stun gun, then you have to hit the target person. Or you could just use a readily available commercial stun gun.
For the fire extinguisher test, it seemed weird that for the first one which had the safety release valve, Tori, Grant, and Kari were in the safety shack. But for the ones without a safety valve they were behind a safety shield about 15 feet away from the fire.

I think the protection element for the fire extinguishers was due to the much higher pressure of the CO2 one, they were expecting more destruction if it failed.
An ok ep, but nothing earth shattering.
I know it's been said but I miss the old days when they didn't script so much of the dialog between each other when setting up and discussing the myths.

Yeah, nothing too exciting, although Jamie inside the Tesla coil was uber-cool and sci-fi looking.

Was this the one that also discussed the fire walking? I found that pretty interesting.

Yes, but frankly it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about the subject.

I thought the phone call from Adam to his wife was pretty funny. Obviously she's gotten that same phone call many times.

Wasn't the phone call from Adam to his wife?
The episode was OK; the build team's stuff was more interesting this time around. The idea of a water stun gun seemed a little too silly to test.

I thought it was interesting that they didn't test a Dry Chemical fire extinguisher.
