    I see we’re still sharing this guide of misinformation.

    You can aim at two targets. Phone tracing does not take an hour. You can shoot and disable most locks including the one pictured with most calibers that aren’t a .22. Grenade pins can be pulled with teeth depending on grenade and whether you’re applying tension to the spoon. Gunshot noise is affected by a suppressor, but bullet noise is based on speed, weight, and shape.

    A grenade pin is tight, but if people can open beer bottles with their teeth they definitely can pull the pin on a grenade.

      Ok, I know nothing about grenades but from what I’ve seen I imagine there’s a spring mechanism and that is clamping the pin down. So wouldn’t pressing down on the clamp make pulling the pin easy/easier?

    The Defibrillator thing is very misleading. Yes, a Defibrillator alone cannot restart a heart. You need to do CPR and if you can combine it with a Defibrillator (operated by a doctor or an AED) you actually have a chance of reviving someone (obviously there is no 100% success rate and the person needs to be “freshly” dead).

    It’s not a myth that shooting two guns at once looks cool. It looks super cool. Accuracy has nothing to do with how cool it looks.

    Padlock shackles haven’t been made of iron for around 120 years. They’re made of case-hardened steel.

    I’m pretty sure you can hear someone who is yelling while skydiving, because my friend has a video of him skydiving and you can hear him yelling in the video. Camera microphones are usually worse at picking up sounds in heavy winds than human ears are.

    Some of the others seem suspicious too, but I’m not sure enough to dispute.

    The phone tracing one is misleading. It might take hours for the police to get the location from the ISP (I doubt that), but the phone call doesn’t have to be hours long.

      It takes typing a single command to trace a call.

      What takes time is getting the authorization to the person who has the password permission to issue that command.

      Very few people at the phone company are allowed access to those commands.
