FWIW I worked with Mythbusters for their "will subwoofers cause an SKS to slamfire" episode (the talkative guy from MTX, Paul, used to be my boss - now I have his job and he's doing product development) - I can say from direct experience that they do not fudge results, make things up, or do any tricks to skew the outcome in any particular direction. The results you see on TV are the results of the testing which they do carry out in earnest.
