the old myth is just not working and i posted this in that thread and ppl seem to have a problem not reading the entire thread before posting so here is a new myth i proposed and i think it would be a lot more workable

i think this might be a better suited topic for a myth why not a giant glass aquarium being used as a bullet protection system

we allready know from pryor myths that a bullets will only go X distance into water but what if u add the thinkness of glass and the pressure of water to deflect a bullet

(crapy example: a corporate big wig having fired an employee goes home to find a very disgruntled ex-employee at his house not knowing what the man wanted the big wig talks very clam to him and asks him what he is there for after a lilbit of smalltalk the man gets increasingly angree and pulls a gun out from his jacket and aims at the big wig who happens to be standing in another room thats common wall is a 300+ gal 1" think glass aquarium the man thinks that he can shot the bigwig though the aquarium thinking its only glass i can shot him and run he won't see it comming when the man shots he shatters the front pane of glass goes through the water but the bullet does not have the enrgy to make it past the back pane the disgruntled employee runs off thinking he had killed his ex-boss only to find the police at his door when he gets home b/c the bullet could not pennatrate the think glass and water and the big wig calls the polic telling his what happened and turns the guy in)
not only is this pluasable but we get to see a big glass aquarium get shot (comme on ppl guns) but we get to see that owning a giant aquarium could save your life ( what better reasoning to give oyour wives or G/Fs to get a huge tank:"come on hunny it could save your life someday")

i think this is a better idea b/c the tank is in a local that is very doable nothing stupid about tank placment, big time business men have these large aquariums in there homes allready (so do us blue collar ppl) and getting a peeved ex-worker has happend


plz feel free to elaborate on this story b/c this was a on the fly sory i just made up
something to think about

also if you have not read the old myth here's the link http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132872
 
this one has more founding in real life thou how many ppl have dividin'g walls with aquariums in them how many ppl get pretty upset after losing there jobs and think of confronting there old boss this has more founding then trying to lug a giantic aquarium to a untold height and placing it where no person would dream also u don't need a real experiance to get a myth on the show how many times have u seen a episode where the myth is busted and they know it won't work when they start and after they are done they tell u that they did not find any reported TRUE accounts of said myth


is it not concivable that this happend it could be overlooked byt big media if it happend in a small town with no real media outlet

its food for thought i think it would be something that would be nice to see on mythbusters (hell right now its on my TV) i would like to see it get on there if u don't want to then so be it
 
Wouldnt a myth be
A 300Gallon Aquarium will Fall through a 2nd+ storey Floor. That is a Standard House. If not how many Gallons would it take. Now i have Heard this right here on MFK this would not be a Lie but it is a Myth. I think this is our best bet rather than something completely Far fetched.

agreed i think this is far better then last myth this one has more ground to stand on with it being vey possible based in truth i am sure there are plenty ppl here that have big dividing wall tanks heck seach for the 24' stocking advice thread thats a dividing wall tank i think this one works very wel

i agree
 
I think if you really have to get a tank on mythbusters, you need to go with "how big of a tank could you have until it fell through the floor of a present day, standard construction home". Maybe a house with a basement. They've already tested shooting through water.
