Ep 15. Ninjas 2

In MythBusters season 6 episode 15, titled "Ninjas 2," the team takes on even more classic ninja myths. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with their group of experts, test whether you can actually dodge a bullet or shuriken by jumping or diving out of the way. They also explore the age-old myth of ninjas being able to run on water by testing various footwear and body positioning.

Another myth that the team investigates is whether a ninja can use common household items, such as a towel or lamp, to escape from a room sealed with duct tape. They test different materials and techniques to see if it's possible to break free and escape.

In addition, they take on the question of whether ninja throwing stars, or shuriken, can really be used as deadly weapons or if they are just for show. They test the accuracy and penetration power of various shuriken designs and compare them to other weapons like throwing knives.

As always, the team uses their scientific methods and tools to debunk or confirm these myths. They use high-speed cameras to capture split-second moments and analyze the physics behind the ninja techniques. They also create their own replicas of traditional ninja tools and weapons to test their effectiveness.

Throughout the episode, Adam and Jamie provide their trademark humor and commentary as they try out the myths themselves and analyze the results. They also bring in special guests, including experts in martial arts and ninja history, to give additional insights into the myths and techniques.

Overall, "Ninjas 2" is an action-packed and informative episode that offers a fascinating look into the world of ninja myths and legends.
