Anyone see the Mythbusters show on the Discovery channel this week? The myth was when a cartoon character sticks it's finger in the barrels to a.) stop the shot charge and b.) open the barrels up like a banana peel. The Rem 870 barrel bulged on the previous episode, but the one they showed this week showed how damascus can unravel when SEVERELY abused. It was an 1870's vintage Parker that was used for the test.

It was one of the cooler episodes I've seen....
