Mythbusters Recreates Walter White’s Final Booby Trap



Stop reading now if you are still avoiding spoilers for the final episode of the TV show Breaking Bad. The rest of us well remember Walter White’s remote-control oscillating machine gun hidden in the trunk of his car. If you want to refresh your memory, it’s on YouTube.

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman wondered if they could recreate that trick in real life. So they recruited Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan for advice and tackled the project on an episode of Mythbusters. (via Laughing Squid)

Uhh, Miss C, I seem to recall seeing this on broadcast – OK, cable – TV back in 2015.  It was part of the episode where they also tried to 'blow a boat out of the water' (in one piece, as opposed to blowing it to pieces) using high explosives.

Mea culpa. Yeah, this is rerun from 2015. Back then the YouTube description said it was web-only, and then they broadcast it not much later. I have corrected that part.
