I want to see a slow motion video of what happens when you fire iron slugs past an MRI machine


Myth Busters missed a good one. Could a bullet do a 180 passed an mri machine.


I don't think Mythbusters had the budget to deal with a possible result of "bullet gets sucked directly into the insanely expensive machinery, destroying it"


I suspect "MRI-strength electromagnet" falls into a different budget category than "medical grade and certified imaging system", including but not limited to "MRI removed from hospital and junked because it's no longer maintained / useful / accurate enough". They are pretty resourceful


Plus the danger of fluid helium escaping within seconds.


You could probably get them to do a 180-degree u-turn


Might be fun to calculate it on paper if I weren't so lazy.


Finally, something that can curve a bullet.
