The premiere episode will follow Hyneman and Savage as they conduct an experiment to see which hits the ground first -- a bullet fired from a gun or another dropped simultaneously from the same height.
In addition, the "Build Team" investigates if you can really knock someone out of their socks by using a crash test dummy, a boxing ring, a nitrogen cannon, a battering ram and explosives.
Additional seventh-season myths the show will experiment with include whether a muddy car gets better mileage than a clean one; if duct tape is really as strong as it's billed to be; whether mixing drinks make your hangover worse than if you stick to one type of alcohol; and if a car driven off a cliff really explodes in a fireball upon impact.
The team will also re-examine some experiments from previous seasons, including if a hot water heater can explode through your roof -- this time, from the basement -- and whether you can shoot a gun around corners.
Mythbusters premiered on Discovery Channel in 2003.
