Mythbuster : bullet hit and the whole body fly away

You know in those movies when bad guys got shot by a bullet, the whole body fly away and usually broke some window before falling down etc ? Well Mythbuster did some tests on that and declared it is a fake claim. Mainly because when they shoot a bullet to a test subject, the dead pig barely move. According to their explaination, the power of the bullet is not enough to carry the body weight AT ALL !!


Well ... after years of watching them, finally I found ONE conclusion they got it WRONG !!

When a bullet hit your body, its not the force of the bullet that bring it down. Its the 'feeling' you have.

For example, if you were standing on the street and then suddenly out of no where a bullet hit you, you are probably too shock and your whole body would just do whatever you were doing without much impact from the bullet at all. Except that you eventually stop and lay down dead.



On another scenario, you were in a battle field shooting each other with your enemy. You were hidding and ducking while shooting back. Suddenly you saw your enemy in front of you, before you pull your trigger you got shot ! Your body felt the pain and before you know it, your whole body is "bouncing" backward a few feets away.

Its not the force of the bullet. Its the nature of our body reaction. Our body was trying to avoid the bullet and trying to minimize the impact by moving in the same direction
