I wonder relatively what speed those shells would have to hit the water yo behave like bullets and shatter... You wanna revive myth busters and we can find out? Maybe in honor of Grant on his birthday or something would be cool.

We just need a lot of money, some military connections and a way to put the team back together for it

Well, typical muzzle velocities for these shells were in the neighborhood of 2500 feet per second, and although they slowed down some out to typical combat ranges they were still going pretty damn fast when they hit. I don't think the Mythbusters ever had the kind of budget you'd need to test this one out.
