Next, the team looks into the possibility of a person being able to outrun their own bullet. This is a popular trope in movies and TV shows, but is it actually possible in real life? The MythBusters create a high-speed camera setup to capture the events in slow motion and get a definitive answer.

The third myth revolves around the idea that a penny dropped from a tall building can kill someone. The team conducts a series of drop tests with various coins to see how much damage they can cause.
