Another 1 from Macgyver is that you can pull out the slug of a bullet with your bare hands....
Well, a wheelie-bag gun works if you drive a punch down the tube and hit the shell lodged in it straight on the primer. But it has no accuraccy since it isn't rifled and slamming at the last moment throws accuraccy further off.

And Mythbusters proved all that Macgyver crap already. He wasted his time pulling six bullets and blowing the lock out. He should have just shot it, since it worked.
