Sp0rus:

The conclusion stated here,
"In the episode "Mega Movie Myths" of the Discovery Channel's show MythBusters, this famous ad was tested by shooting a Master Lock padlock by a rifle, capturing the results on film. As the famous Super Bowl ad depicted, Master Lock passed the test by surviving the gun shot.[3]"
is in conflict with the results stated in the given reference (imdb) and on the MythBusters web site:
http://mythbustersresults.com/special9

So the question becomes, "Did the lock survive the gun shot?"

Watch the video again. The 12 gauge shotgun deer slug destroys the Master padlock and it is easily removed from the door. The M1 Garand blows the lock apart. The locks did not survive, but it was suggested that the shooter probably would not survive this attack either, due to likely ricochet and shrapnel.

===========================

Good eye. I just noticed there was no reference, and wikipedia didn't have a reference for the same thing. Went looking for the episode and found this. I guess the reason people have said the lock survived is because the lock survived the handgun shots in the mythbusters episode?

I wasn't able to find another episode with the mythbusters shooting locks, so if it is actually the wrong episode, I apologize for the mistake. What should we do with this?

== History ==

Master Lock was founded in 1921 by Harry Soref, P.E. Yolles, and Sam Stahl. Soref invented and patented a padlock in 1924 that used laminated layers of steel for extra protection. Padlocks of the time were all hollow and suspectible to various [[forced entry]] techniques, particularly impact with a hammer. Soref's inspiration for the design was from bank vault doors and battleships of the time.<ref>[http://www.masterlock.com/about/history.shtml Master Lock: About Us / History]</ref>

Soref's design went on to be wildly successful, with federal agents placing large orders. Many of these padlocks were used to lock down establishments that disobeyed prohibition laws.

In 1939 Master Lock moved to their current facility at 2600 North 32nd Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Harry Soref died in 1957. He was succeeded as president of Master Lock by co-founder and long time friend Sam Stahl.

In 1973, Master Lock ran a famous Super Bowl ad where one of their locks survived being shot by a sharpshooter, thereby proving its durability, thus the slogan "Tough Under Fire". Master Lock would continue running similar ads during future Super Bowls, spending almost their entire annual marketing budget on the single commercial. <ref>[http://www.clickz.com/experts/archives/ebiz/ebiz_report/article.php/835901 Advertising During the Super Bowl]</ref>
