We used as a measurement tool the Large Corrugated Cabins (LCS)

 

Here are the results:

 

 

Although it's a bit of spoiler from Mythbusters Episode 5, I thought I provoke your interested for learning more about it. It is also a pretty funny episode, mainly thanks to our episode "sponsors" BranberryMuffin :D

Well you can snipe someone out of a buzzard, and one good hit with a rocket will send it to the floor.

 

Not so with the tank.

 

Also...two missiles out at a time with the buzzard. Tank has no such limitations.

 

You are only limited by your imagination.

Good point! We also thought about it, but only after we shot the video :D

 

We recently wrote the scripts from the next 6 episodes, and one of them is planned to focus on the Lazer (so we can cover that point then). Thanks for your input.

 

What about the jet?

I think a jet would be hard to test unless we can mount it on a crate and shoot the missiles. Since we want assure the starting point is the same for all tests. But we can add it to myths to "revisit" in the future based on fan suggestions.

 

Btw, were also accepting new myths to test as well if you guys have ideas

Maximum 3 people can be killed with one Heavy Sniper shot.

 

This myth is featured in

(the other myth there was about the Assault shotgun).

This most definitely is not a thread for someone to advertise their Youtube channel.

 

Definitely not.

Nobody is denying that, Furry Monkey. Yes, we used that thread ALSO to promote our GTA Mythbusters series.

 

We also hate aggressive promotion, and people spamming/forcing/begging you to watch something.

 

But you can't say this thread is misleading and aimed only for promotion! Promotion is the secondary thing, we started the topic to bring some interesting facts to the GTA Community, which people might find useful.

 

I will understand your remark, only If I made a thread with the same topic and then say "hey if you want to see the answer to that question - YOU GOTTA watch that video". NO! What we did is actually give out the results (spoilers), so really people don't need to watch anything.

I read it as a sarcastic remark. If it's not - then why do you bring that up? ;) Nobody was talking about this being a thread for promotion or not.

Interesting. We've tested multiple times trying to kill more than 3 people, and we couldn't.

 

Did you killed 5 players or 5 NPC's?

 

I have done 5 so thats false.

I've seen a video of like 7 dudes against the wall and all get taken out with a single sniper shot (not sure if it was the HS)

 

Someone posted that video here

Yes, found it,

 

Then this myth deserves revisiting in the next episodes. Seems that the range has impact on the result. Or could be that R* patched this as one of the unofficial fixes. In another post they also talk about that health increases with each rank. We tested only with high rank guys, maybe this explains why we were able to kill up to 3 people.

 

We will test from different ranges, and maybe have the rank taken into account (could use our lower level, 2nd characers) and see what happens then. Thanks for your feedback!

This turned up as another discussion than the one we initially started...

 

Apologies, I need to ask 2 more questions, I got really curious about the rank/range eventually impacting the result.

 

Those 5 guys, which rank were they (approximately, less than 50, above 50, above 100)?

 

Was it at close range (up to few meters away)?

 

 

Gotta love "science" in GTA, way more complex than I thought, which makes it more interesting :D

 

It was 5 crew mates

That's a pretty cool video with the 7 people dying. I think the range and rank attributes could possibly play a big part in that. Looks like we'll have to add that for some myth revisits!

 

Thanks for the info guys, and if you have anything else you want us to test let us know.
