.45 is not the same as 45.

What a waste of a perfectly good tree. This has to be the most pointless experiment ever.

I’m not sure that leafless, limbless husk in the desert counts as a “perfectly good tree”.

The tree wasn’t even growing there, it was dead and put there for the experiment. No need to worry, treehuggers!

Agreed. Those who actually watched this episode would know that the MB team took trees that had already been felled and dug the logs in the ground for the purposes of this busting. In general, the team usually does their best at being economically and environmentally responsible for all their “pointless experiments” (e.g., scavaging scrap yards, re-using equipment and materials). As for why? Well, they’re not called Mythbusters (not to mention this website isn’t Neatorama) for nothing.

Waste of ammo is more like it. In that 45 seconds, they blew through $500 in shells.

Frankly, I’m surprised it took so long.

Isn’t that supposed to chop off heads and limbs?
Neat in an eery way. -

It’s even cooler when mounted on a helicopter and is mowing down terrorists! Spatter… Spatter…

Kari Byron + Minigun = Hotness.

“Kari Byron + Minigun = Hotness.”Subtract the “Minigun” and the equation still works!

It probably would have gone faster if they had shot the trees at a closer range.

Agreed brian. They probably missed 50% of the time at least.
Also, was anyone else surprised at how there was no visible recoil? I’m sure mounting it helped, but it didn’t seem to be recoiling at all.

how could I’ve lived without experiment this before?
