MythBusters — S13 E12 "Unfinished Business" — Aired August 22, 2015

Fan complaints had been building for years across four separate myths, and Adam and Jamie came back with new designs, new methodology, and a genuine willingness to overturn their own previous verdicts — starting with hollow road spikes built from neon pink tubes that instantly shredded all four tires of a pursuit vehicle and reversed a previous busted verdict on the spot, then testing whether playing a video game that simulates a real-world skill like target shooting actually produces measurable improvement in that skill outside the game, locking Adam in a transparent room with a live dummy grenade with the pin pulled to find out how long a person could realistically hold the spring-loaded lever down under psychological pressure, and finally bringing in professional quick-draw shooters to find out whether the lightning-fast movie pistol reload that every action hero makes look effortless is something a real person can genuinely achieve.
