I love watching Mythbusters, especially when they do a segment that has to do with guns! (check out Kari with a .50BMG) I’ve always wondered if any of their mythbusting attempts have ever ended in disaster, well it looks like one of them did.
This past Tuesday while filming a new episode at a bomb range in Dublin, CA the cannonball they fired missed its mark and soared 700 yards straight into a house and a minivan. Luckily no one was hurt, I wonder what myth they were trying to bust?

Lesson #1 – Don’t fire field artillery (even the old blackpoweder stuff) anywhere near a residential area.
Lesson #2 – Make sure of your aim….
Lesson #3 – If you are not gonna make sure of your aim see Lesson #1
This myth is….busted!
