awesome, but what a waste of a mesquite tree!!! that tree was probably over 100 years old

**draeh** · 02-28-2008, 10:30 AM

They love using that gatling gun.

**Gogeta** · 02-28-2008, 11:04 AM

wow.. caught that damn first tree on fire!! O.O

westyfield · 02-28-2008, 11:18 AM

I'd like to know just how much that cost... firing a minigun for nearly two minutes.

**Sarcoma** · 02-28-2008, 11:47 AM

I love her.

It was already just a log. I am sure they collected the remains and used it for some good BBQ.

**Augustus Gloop** · 02-28-2008, 01:23 PM

Man, who DOESN'T have a crush on Kari Byron?

Drayu · 02-28-2008, 01:29 PM

I know I do! She needs to do a playboy issue

Something along the lines of the shots I saw of her scantily dressed as a scientist.....oooo la la

**TheSkudDestroyer** · 02-28-2008, 03:20 PM

Wait, there's a gun in the video?

All I saw was the woman of my dreams.

It was already a dead tree they reburied and fired at. They were testing chopping down a tree with a machine gun. First gun was a Thompson, Second was a small machine gun and the 3rd was the Gatling Gun

You know, everyone always knocks me for having a thing for redheads, and then as soon as someone mentions Kari Byron, everyone drools. Hypocrites.

On the upside and unrelated to this episode, I have a particular place in my heart for Mythbusters because they film a good portion of their stuff at the former Naval Air Station Alameda, where I used to live. I loved living on that base, mostly because my dad was XO and I was completely untouchable and had the run of the place. Hell, we used to race gokarts on the flight line when they werent doing flight ops. Every time I watch an episode on the base, it makes me nostalgic.

But yeah, Kari Byron...in the words of Adam Sandler "soooo hot, want to touch the heine!"

War.mongeR1 · 02-28-2008, 06:30 PM

When she said, "Smells gooood. Smells like destruction," I instantly fell in love. Sigh.

For two minutes flat?

Let's say you purchase your 7.62mm ammunition at... some bulk rate. $0.50 a round. (Surely Mythbusters can get hooked up with cheap surplus ammo.)

If the minigun's firing at its 2,000 rpm rate, then 4,000 rounds x $.50 = $2,000.

If they're firing it on its 4,000 rpm rate, then it'd be $4,000.
