Mythbusters are entertainment, not real life and even the best scientists have a hard time replicating flukes.
The weapon was a fairly ordinary Savage bolt-action, older, with a conventional barrel. I believe it was in .30-06 or a related cartridge (i.e. .270).
This is more common in fluted barrels since stress would follow the thinnest part of the barrel. Just google "Sako KB", they even had a recall because the this exact thing happening.
Still a non-believer?
