YES! I love these guys. Can you give me a link to the thread please? I would like to post comments there, this would be a nice test for them to do, Id like to know for sure For those of you who do not know, the MythBusters is a show on the discovery channel 9yes this channel rocks) that test urban legends and myths, to see if they are actually true (Examples are exploding Bug Bombs, Cell Phones Igniting Gas Pumps, Blowing Up Cement Trucks, Shooting Buster the Dummy out of Homemade Cannons). I posted a thread on their message boards. Register there and give this thread some support! I would love to have the answer to this myth finally put under raps.

Dude when they shot Buster out of the cannon, Jamie Hyneman almost caught him in the wheelchair he placed there a few minutes earlier. Funny stuff. :crazy:Iceman wrote:YES! I love these guys.

Back on topic, for the cps 2K myth, I'd test it with grapes.

I doubt that they will spend time on the CPS2000 myth/fiction. A quote from the site:
Edited By ANNIHILATOR 2 on 1112491435
. Its scientificaly NOT possible to blow someones eye out with a watergun that does not shoot farther than 15 meters. Its a rumor started by demented kids who skiped basic science classes. Damage nerves on the eyeball, perhaps. But not blow it out. Demonstrators in the past got a firehose blast in their faces from close range and they could still see fine after awhile. The blowing eye out myth is as impossible as the lawsuit of some kid breaking a car window with a soaker.Please post science related ideas for the MythBusters

Classical Spirit: Constantly improve power, pressure and style over previous state of the art water gun models. The ideal of "power progress", a nowdays non existent concept in retail water guns since 1997.
Here is a quote from a reply to my thead over on the MythBuster Forums.
The last sentence is very strong evidence, as well as this whole post supporting that the theory is incorrect. While we may never know, He does have a point, Larami would not introduce something extremely dangerous that can blow eyes out. The myth? to add to the "awe" factor of the gun. Technically can't confirm it but in my book? Myth busted, it can't blow out an eye.
I think the powers that be would have tested this product, as they test many. Instead of like a helmet, where they test the protection factor, they'd test it in terms of threat factor. If it exceeded a certain "dangerous" PSI, changes would need to be made or it would not be passed as safe. They probably also had a warning that stated "avoid direct eye contact."

It shouldn't be to hard or expensive to test, just get a pig's head, CPS 2000(they're discovery channel, they can have whatever they want), some water and a camera. Easy.
