- "Mythbusters? The show that wanted to prove that a car door is no protection in firefights as shown in typical TV detective series?
How they did that? By firing assault rifles from close distance at a car door and proudly claiming Myth busted when bullets made to penetrate armour at 800 meters actually did penetrate a car door at 30m. After all, military assault rifles are typically used by and against police in real life or TV. No small arms, no sir.
Science that ain't. Cheap show fits better."
Assault rifles generally get used in firefights of 300 metres or less, and are designed as such.
800m is a bit rare for a modern assault rifle.
30m firefight in FIBUA pretty common.
Also assault rifles are classified as "small arms".
Maybe a cheap show but at least they do check their facts
