    Everything about that test was fail. Especially the "he who moves first, loses" maxim I've never heard before or ever seen anyone type here, for that matter. Mythbusters is wrong a lot, though, as far as I understand it. Using hollowpoints to test whether fmj rounds could nail the eye of another sniper through his scope, was one I saw recently.

    Were they really trying to test fmj ammo and got the wrong stuff, or just testing out the whole "Whitefeather" concept, and didn't know enough to think that hollowpoints wouldn't have the right penetration?

    Wouldn't have minded it really if they hadn't been whining throughout the entire thing. "Ow... that really hurts" "Oof" "Ouch"...

    really?

    The latter, I think. Although I'm not sure if they started with Whitefeather or Saving Private Ryan.
