Davy Crockett's Magic Bullet
Myth statement
Davy Crockett could fire a shot from his musket and split the bullet on the blade of an axe stuck in a tree 40 yards away. Confirmed After setting up a target and sticking an axe in it, the Build Team received training from an expert in antique American firearms and began shooting from 40 yards (37 m). Each member took three shots, moving up to 20 yards (18 m) after Tory went first. Although several bullets nicked the blade or handle, none split on it until Tory tried again at the shorter distance. With one bullet hole appearing on either side of the blade, the team declared the myth confirmed and decided that a person could consistently make the 40-yard shot with enough practice.
