The Jaws scuba tank one irritated me a bit. Knowing that older scuba tanks were made of a more brittle alloy and visually inspecting tanks for years and seeing some pretty scary cracks in them, makes me wonder if using an older tank that may or may not pass a visual or hydro test, combined with the common practice of topping off 10% if they would achieve the same results. I have seen tanks that have ruptured and the damage cause by it and it is pretty devastating.

Oh, they also did one where shooting a revolver wrong would cut off your fingers. Determined it was unlikely to actually sever the fingers, but it would do a lot of damage to your hand.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. A local gun store owner and gunsmith extraordinair Frank Tabor (who sadly retired and closed his shop about two months ago) provided many of the firearms and was on many locations while they filmed. I walked in after that episode aired and that exact revolver used in the show was for sale at his shop. It was fun to chat with him about the show. Frank was shown in season one on the episode when he shot apart a hangmans rope. He actuall did it with both a rifle and revolver(s) but they only aired one of them. He had a great shop and I bought lots from him over they years. I also liked that if I wanted to order something that had a reputation of being an unreliable or poor firearm he would let me know it. I always appreciated that.
They did try it with a smooth bore, nothing they could do to the gun or bullet caused the bullet to curve. They got keyholes, but the bullets traveled in a strait path for the entire range.
They also tested to see if heavy bass speakers could cause a weapon in your car to go off. They got a really nice sound system and had like 10 SKS carbines in various positions (I believe loaded with blanks; been a while), and the constant jarring from the bass caused none of the rifles to ND.
