Firearms Folklore, The Hammer

Synopsis:
Just when you think Adam and Jamie have tested every gun legend in history, they come up with three more myths. In an urban shootout, could a criminal's bullet have hit and then jammed the empty chamber of a policeman's revolver? Saving Private Ryan might have been based on fact but what about the scene where one sniper kills another by shooting straight down the enemy gun scope? And assuming two antique bullets once hit mid-air in a Civil War battle, is it even remotely possible those two bullets fused together? In the meantime, Kari, Grant and Tori go to great lengths to see whether mankind's first and simplest tool — the hammer — could be far more dangerous than you think. Could striking two hammers together result in an explosive and dangerous spray of steel shrapnel?
