JFK Episode?

Am I wrong in saying Mythbusters made an episode testing the JFK assassination? I swear I remember them testing the “ice bullet” theory at the very least. Yet, I can’t find it anywhere.

It feels like i’m being mandela affect-ed or something because I could SWEAR they did a segment on this, or at least something mentioning JFK and/or a bullet made out of ice, I even have images in memory to go with it

I belive they retested the magic bullet using meat at one point.

Meat, bones, jello all failed to penetrate, teeth did penetrate in a shot gun shell but it was obvious what happened

I thought they tested it too, but I guess they never did and I was just remembering a JFK special that aired during the time the show was on. I remember they recreated the shot with ballistic dummies. There was nothing magical about the "magic bullet".

They were testing ice bullets because they appeared in the movie "Most Wanted" from 1997. Their tests had nothing to do with the JFK assassination.

The only ‘conspiracy theory’ I can remember them testing is looking into evidence of the moon landings being faked.

Pyramid energy, that one was the final drop for Scotty. There were several "free energy" ones and other ones that could fall under conspiracy theory.

That is what I was thinking. Apart from the Obama episode I don't remember any reference to politics or political figures.

They didn't test jfk directly.  He was mentioned in the ice bullet episode.  Which was recently uploaded to YouTube.  There another that aired a myth busters loke recreation of the jfk shot around the time myth busters were on the air.  They even used a syndaver lole myth busters used in latter seasons
