Could Walter White actually have pulled off his final stand? Spoilers for any lost soul who hasn't finished Breaking Bad, but the rest of us who have our priorities in order surely remember when Walt got on his machine gun funk and sprayed his neo-Nazi enemies with a well-placed trunk-chopper. Now, close to the series finale's two-year anniversary, Mythbusters decided to see if Heisenberg's final Yea-Science-Contraption is actually viable irl.

Series creator Vince Gilligan even came along for the test, which marks the third time the Mythbusters put a classic Breaking Bad moment under the microscope. They previously disproved the hydrofluoric acid bathtub moment as well as the impact of throwing solid mercury fulminate to the ground. Watch the clip above to see if Walt's trunk finally broke the streak.
