Can an Ice Bullet Kill Without a Trace😱

Why is the ice bullet an entire cartridge lol

You would need cold gas to fire the projectile, and this has been done before. The CIA had a heart attack gun that would fire a frozen needle of ice and saxitoxin which would melt, and the toxin would cause a heart attack later on.

Consider not using gun powder? Compressed gas is a perfect alternative that doesn’t heat up the bullet

It makes no sense to Make an I’ve bullet out of meat. The whole point is that it’s not detectable.

You can’t use gunpowder for an ice bullet. You can only use psi.

The reason Mythbusters failed on this item is because they didn't think to use an airgun

A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.... Did they make the cartridge case and the gunpowder out of water as well? A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Air rifle will propel it fast enough to kill..

I prefer the method of the lady that used a frozen pork leg to bash her husband's head in, cooked it and fed it to the policemen that came to investigate the crime.

Why didn't they try a compressed air weapon to shoot it. The potato gun method essentially.

Irony is, if you wanted to kill someone with ice, you’d be far better off stabbing them with an icicle. No prints.

You don't use water, you use carbon dioxide.

Stupidity with extra steps

Ah yes, good old "Mason Busters". When you need a program that "debunks" things, often "debunking" "myths" that are very very true. Not speaking of this particular episode FWIW.

Everybody knows ice is better for stabbing

Seems like a shotgun would be better here, maybe an aerogel sabot to protect it from the heat.

What if it's packed in a sabot and fired from a rifled shotgun?

what if you froze methane from farts?

they tried to solve the wrong problem.

弾頭だけじゃ無く全部が氷でどうやって発射するんだよ(≧∇≦) 吹き矢か？パチンコか？(。'(ェ)'。)ん？

They are so smart ....

Yes they are called icicles.

Why using gunpowder, you can use air pressure, or a spring mechanism

Use CO2 ice compressed air longer gun barrel

It would work with compressed air

You want to use a bullet in a airgun. That is the secret

frozen hemoglobin; preferably the same blood type and IDEALLY from a sample of the target's own blood (if the technique even works!) would be best!

Wouldn’t work without the striker or gunpowder so this video or movie is completely a waste of time to watch

Frozen CO2?

The CIA did it a lil different

Soviets in the Cold War used a rounded ice pellet with ricin and compressed CO2 for an assaination once in the 1950's or 60's.

It works perfectly if you apply about nine atmospheric pressures in the mold

What an absolute mockery of science. These two goofs knew damn well it would never work.

A few things that might make this work better: - Air gun - Insulation between powder and projectile (like a cannon) - Larger subsonic projectile (to limit melting and fragmentation) - Microfiber additives as a binder inside the ice
