SPOILER ALERT: Breaking Bad Finale "Machine Gun" scene gets "credible" rating from "Mythbusters"

SPOILER ALERT

Anyone who has not seen the Breaking Bad series - you missed what is likely one of the greatest T.V. series of all time. And that is coming from someone who is VERY hard to please. I like realism and this series gave it to us for six seasons. The writing was (and I use this term sparingly) exquisite. I never thought that anyone could fill up six seasons of material with great writing but these people somehow managed to do just that. Not one wasted episode with "filler". Each one had something good or important to say. Each episode was another nice piece that fit into the Big Picture and the finale was just well worth the wait. So if you have the time, try enjoying the series from season one and watch it straight through to the season six finale.

For those who have already seen the finale, go ahead and keep reading but everyone else this is your last SPOILER ALERT!

There is a scene with a machine gun that is notable in the finale. The show Mythbusters looked into that scene to check out whether it was a credible scenario or just BS. The results are at the URL below.

If you just want to see the scene in question again (or don't plan to watch the whole series and so don't care about spoilers) you may enjoy the YouTube video here:

They did.  Last year was the final season.  However, the producers are now trying for Mythbusters 2.0 and are currently running a show to pick the next mythbusters.

The one thing that really rubbed me wrong about the mythbusters' episode was trashing the rear fender on that old caddie.

Thank you @LateForLunch   Enjoyed the myth busters and the replay of the machine gun scene.  I recently rewatched the whole thing on Netflix and the first two seasons of Just Call Saul.  Loved this series!
