From Solid research in the sound field it was proven that at 14Hz with atleast 115 dB’s of sound pressure they’re be a loss of controle in the human bowels. I normal speaker cannot produce this, this experiment has nothing to do with what we here, its how our body’s resonate

For the bullets; yes, people would recoil when shot, but not fly through the air. If you shoot a can, it has a relatively low mass, so if it’s fired at, it will move a substantial amount…a human, however, is much heavier, meaning a larger bullet is required to apply a force on them to move them backwards.
It’s also a matter of kinetic energy. A car moving at 60 mph has a lot more kinetic energy than a bullet at 1500–2000 feet/second. If a person gets hit by a car, they will fly, or move a substantial amount. A bullet…recoil, yes…part from the ground, no…unless they jump backwards in surprise. Also, a bullet is not large enough to impart a lot of its energy into its target, only being exerted where the point of the bullet is.
Myth busted…it’s not going to happen.

Mythbusters,
Please tie Buster to an airplane and fly 60 miles and drop him from an altitude of 115 feet. My brothers and I would like to see how damage Buster suffers. We hope that you will air the footage in an upcoming show.

In response to many notes left;
David: kick drums are not “heard” at 10 hz. In fact, most (99% or higher) cannot hear beyond 20 hz, a full octave higher.
Mario: I repeat…you cannot hear 10 hz. Thus the term, infrasonic, below hearing.
Damron: Firstly, the term “brown note” denotes a musical wave, or sonic wave. I understand that there are many kinds of waves. Secondly, John Meyer has been building speakers for 30 years now, and his boxes are known as some of, if not, the best speakers available today. So, I would say he is an expert if there ever was one.

In each test the “body” was supported in some way which completly negates the test a supported body will not react correctly
I have seen a Kangaroo do a complete backflip when shot with a .222

The infrasonic brown note can cause a human to lose control of their bowels the israel military thve playing with u.l.f.freq using dish R.F very dangerous
you need a sub transmitter ask the navy

Low velocity bullets such as a 45 cal 1911 semiauto will indeed lift a man off his feet. Low velocity bullets expend ALL of thier energy by not passing through the body.
I have personally witnessed this several times

For the bullet making a man fly back test it seems they have missed a key factor. That of the reaction of the person getting shot. It is natural instinct to recoil from pain. Thus if a live person is shot they will add to the blow back by automatically recoiling from the impact. Go online and look at any “shock factor” websites and watch someone acually get shot. Most do fall backwards, however I will admit that hollywood will inhance such things to make the effect “cooler” for the movies.

A simpler way to refute your busting of the bullet with the Dirty Harry effect is just to shoot a b-b gun at a tin can. The b-b cannot penetrate the can and thus THE CAN FLIES! Similarly, if a bullet is stopped within the cavity of the man (target, pig, etc.) it too would fly.
