Talk:Master Lock

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.
