Pun.
Truth is, Mythbusters is a show where these two guys - stuntmen by
profession - put myths, urban legends, and other stuff to the test.
Like, say, whether it is more dangerous to get an empty beer bottle
smacked across your head than a full one (busted). Or whether the story
of a police officer might be true that his badge stopped a bullet
(plausible). Or whether the ancient greeks might have employed a
"machine crossbow" (plausible). Or whether during the US civil war one
side had invented a steam-driven machine cannon (busted). Or whether the
Irish might have employed leather cannons with success (busted). Or
whether That Famous Incredible Youtube Video(TM) might actually be real
(typically busted). Or whether it is possible to explode a propane tank
by shooting at it. Or whether it is possible to ignite gasoline with a
cigarette / match / whatever. Or... well, name just about anything that
sounds weird (but might be plausible) or is taken for granted (but might
be a myth) and can be put to the test by (preferably destructive)
experiment.
Just look for "Mythbusters" on Youtube.
That 1000-tube paintball gun is absolutely their style.
