Ever watch The Mythbusters?

[William Machauer]

Being a nice day and in-between yard work I just stopped to take a break and there is Mythbusters with a 10 ga Parker! Claimed it's an 1877 made with Damascus bbls.
They are testing whether or not a finger stuck down the bore will cause the barrels to burst, banana peel. Now I have to watch the rest of this episode and see just how badly they screw up!

[Mike of the Mountain]

Which guy will be sticking his finger down the barrel?

[William Machauer]

They used a ballistic gel hand, they wrecked that poor ol 10 bore!

Yes. Let's destroy a vintage Parker to prove something we've known for more than a hundred years.
