  • sonofashoe, on 07/12/2009, -1/+72 "Hurry MacGruber! After shooting out the bullet-proof glass we've only got 20 seconds for you to reload your DIY Jailhouse Shotgun so we can escape from the Prison Control Room!"
    "No problem. Vicky. Hand me those 1000 match heads!"
    "Sure thing MacGruber!"
    "Merrill. Rip those shower curtains apart and give me the lead weights!"
    "You got it MacGruber"
    "Now I'll shoot through the Control Room door."
    "Hurry MacGruber! There are 50 armed guards on the other side!"
    BLAM!!!!
    "Great job MacGruber! The door opened!"
    "Uh-oh MacGruber. The guards are shooting at us!"

  • Hieber, on 07/12/2009, -2/+56German engineering at its finest!
  • inactive, on 07/12/2009, -2/+50No Procedure, No Fun :(

  • InfinitySnatch, on 07/12/2009, -1/+36A paradigm of German ingenuity. Good thing they didn't modify the showers.
  • aceslick911, on 07/12/2009, -0/+34anyone know what they were in for?

    armed robbery?
  • McMaster88, on 07/13/2009, -0/+31Remember kids! Knives do not need to be reloaded.
  • GorfTron, on 07/12/2009, -2/+33Was there a Gorn after this guy?
  • ezikiel2517, on 07/12/2009, -0/+30Making life saving inventions out of jail materials! MacGRUBER!
  • Wareznuke, on 07/12/2009, -0/+27German prisoners use their engineering skills to build a gun. American prisoners greatest achievement is toilet wine.
  • SifuMoKung, on 07/12/2009, -0/+25Planning to go to jail soon?
    I still recommend the shank. It's more portable and has a higher reliability factor. You don't have the advantage of range, but jail can be a very intimate place.
  • Ocelot13, on 07/12/2009, -0/+25you know we cant be doing this all day
  • p51d007, on 07/12/2009, -2/+27When you have NOTHING but time on your hands, it's amazing how "creative" you can be.
  • hildenborg, on 07/12/2009, -0/+24Someone tell Mythbusters about it, I want to see them build it.
  • jurassiqpark, on 07/12/2009, -0/+18how do you know obvious information?
  • DigDugDigger, on 07/12/2009, -0/+18Agreed. Maybe they can take that ingenuity and use it in the workplace.
  • Coling2k2, on 07/12/2009, -0/+15I would like to point out all the monkies through out history who were put in a cage and I'm sure not one ever worked out how to pick locks
  • sychotic, on 07/12/2009, -3/+17http://www.marcsteinmetz.com/pages/fluchtstuecke/e ...
    Come to Jesus
  • Imissnaptime, on 07/12/2009, -1/+15this really needed a video demonstration
  • BrettSchu, on 07/12/2009, -0/+13Probably manufacturing weapons illegally.
  • wentwhere, on 07/12/2009, -2/+15Yeah think of all the cardboard shotguns the world is missing because we lock up people for stupid ***** like murder/drug running/whatever
  • TheBifman, on 07/12/2009, -3/+15Inmates are so freaking talented, such a waste
  • MegaManZZ, on 07/12/2009, -0/+12you throw the gun
  • SifuMoKung, on 07/12/2009, -0/+12They already did the prison crossbow. Maybe they can do a whole show on jailhouse myths.
  • omae, on 07/12/2009, -0/+11yea it would do good for vince in jail

  • laconiclane, on 07/12/2009, -2/+12Shop smart, shop S-Mart.
  • DigDugDigger, on 07/12/2009, -0/+10I think that's what the matchheads are for.
  • Pinkertinkle, on 07/12/2009, -0/+9Do they pass it discretely between four or five people after shooting someone in the kidneys with it?
  • SAKevin, on 07/12/2009, -0/+9They have curtains in German prisons? I suppose they have tablecloths in the cafeteria as well.
  • TheBifman, on 07/12/2009, -1/+10I meant "such a waste" as in such a waste of talent by being criminals, not that they don't deserve to be there.
  • Xaevier, on 07/12/2009, -1/+10This really isn't a myth tho, they actually still appear to have the gun itself.
  • leif77, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8....?
    So were feeding and housing them to "serve their debt?"
  • mGARANDEUR1, on 07/13/2009, -1/+91. Go to an arms store
    2. Buy a shotgun
  • GoKings, on 07/12/2009, -1/+9Needs video
  • m0laria, on 07/12/2009, -3/+11If you need a procedure to make this, then you probably shouldn't be trying to make it.
  • blingbin, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7inmates are nothing if not creative
  • CaviMike, on 07/12/2009, -1/+8I was gonna say RTFA but all you needed to do was read the damned description. How could you possibly be that lazy?
  • xan18, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7That radio in the encyclopedia was pretty sick too.
  • marciot, on 07/13/2009, -0/+7Let me correct that for you:

    "German prisoners use their engineering skills to build a gun. American prisoners study law so they can sue their prisons."

    And we all know lawyers make more money than engineers.
  • EmperorAwesome, on 07/12/2009, -1/+8I submit the latter contributes more to society.
  • PabloMac, on 07/12/2009, -3/+9Yes, after they serve their debt to society.
