yeah obviously i wouldn't post the calc here, but like is that a good idea or no?

Given how hard it is to deduce without assumptions, yes, its best for another thread, just copy the info from here.

would the funny pizza throw warrant a lifting strength upgrade

ok but seriously idk how easy it would be to get a pizza up there but it looks like it should take several attempts to pull it off (even though brian cranston did it in one take)

walt is absolutely not 9-C or 9-B. his only feat above human level is surviving his fulminated mercury explosion, which is clearly an outlier.

we can add it, but we should calculate its kinetic energy first.

- 390
Well, let's assume that the van weighs around 9K pounds. Now let's assume that the van's max speed is 70 mph, since it's a pretty old and beat up vehicle. Punching that into a few kinetic energy calculators and we get...

Great! I have no idea what the hell it means. Hopefully wall level, if I didn't screw up the math.

Ok, guys, I think we might be able to calc Walt and Tuco surviving the explosion. I found the script for the episode here: http://www.mzp-tv.co.uk/tv_scripts/Breaking_Bad/Breaking_Bad_1x06_-_Crazy_Handful_Of_Nothin.pdf

This is what it says on page 47:
All three second-story windows BLOW OUT with a KAABOOM!! Tiny diamond shards of BROKEN GLASS rain down on us, falling on the lookout and outdoor cantina patrons, who duck and cover their heads. Two window A.C. UNITS break loose -- one tumbles to the sidewalk while the other dangles from its heavy power cord, swinging back and forth
The sound MUTES, then gradually resolves into a high, buzzy RINGING -- the ringing in our ears. The office is awash with LIGHT now that the blackened windows are gone. A thin haze of grey SMOKE swirls through the place.
Other than the obliterated windows, there's really no other visible signs of damage. At least not to the inanimate objects in the room.
***
The last line suggests that there was no building shaking, it wasn't even the explosion that destroyed the A.C, just loosened its support. The only damage that happened was the glass shattering, so I think it can be calced.

If it helps, Tuco slams Jesse's head through a wooden door. This gave the actor a concussion, but the character Jesse was still moving afterwards.

THIS.
I never said anything about this because I thought I was misremembering the episode or something (after all I haven't watched BB in a while), but the explosion kinda... Does nothing? It just shatters the windows and makes a loud noise. Is it really 9-A?

Now we're talking.

Exactly, just the next page, it says the explosion moved the chair Tuco was sitting on, only cuz the chair had wheels.

But wait. While I sure was looking for 9-B Walter Blanco, but usually from what I'm told anything huger for them to tank are outliers??
- 3,780
- 1,811
If there's no consistency, then it would be an outlier. As I said, it's best to calc the feat to see what results we can get. Also like that Metastasis reference lol.

so...10-A walt/jesse?
Anomalous_N_I_W_D_E

Thought smashing holes in hard wooden doors would have been 9-B.

- 2,105
But this peaked my interests lads. How can we make these work?
- 3,780
- 1,811
No, it was just Jesse's head, which is equivalent to punching a hole through wooden doors, not smashing through the entire door. According to the Common Feats page, that would be 9-C.
- 3,780
- 1,811
Put the feat in the calc request page, and specify that the only damage done was the windows, after that, we wait for the results.

nah. if that was a 9-B attack, aaron paul would be dead. however, it did give aaron paul a concussion, so that means jesse should have suffered that damage
but he didn't
a similar thing happens with walter in 4 days out when he punches the towel dispenser. they had to use a prop because if bryan cranston punched the real towel dispenser he would have broken his hand.
according the breaking bad wiki: "Cranston could not punch the location's real paper towel dispenser, because it was incredibly hard and would've broken his hand. Instead the art department put up a fake dispenser of more malleable material for him to strike."

okay, so the fulminated mercury explosion has been calculated now. since walt made a pound of it, would it be possible to calculate the weight of the small chunk he used, and then use that weight to find how powerful a pound of walt’s fulminated mercury would be?

actually, turns out that mythbusters did an episode about walt's fulminated mercury, and determined that the chunk he threw would weigh about 50 grams. considering that walt's explosion got calced to 0.0002 tons, a pound of walt's fulminated mercury would theoretically get to 0.0018 tons of tnt. still wall level.
