Can jumping into water really stop a speeding bullet? And what happens if you try to pull off a full 360-degree loop on a swing set? Spoiler: it involves rockets, questionable physics, and a lot of yelling. Sounds like a classic MythBusters episode—and that's exactly what Cliff and Harrison are diving into this week on Try This at Home.

We’re talking high-speed chaos, indoor explosions (sorry, M5!), and the moment the Build Team strapped a rocket to a playground swing... because science. Plus, what really happens when you fire a shotgun into a giant tank of water? The result is loud, wet, and probably not OSHA-approved.

Whether you’re a longtime MythBusters fan or just here for the explosions, you won’t want to miss this wild ride through one of the show’s most memorable episodes!
