Son's of Guns tonight

[CUJOHUNTER]

So,what time does it come on? And is that Discovery Channel Cox #32?

Let me see if I can hit a few of the high points . A lot of/most folks have no idea how NFA works . Some guys can get damn insistent . My/our tolerance level for folks who don't care to follow the rules is pretty damn minimal . We used a homemade fuel for the flamethrower , mixed it up on the spot . Sorry , but I think I'll need to keep the recipe to myself , stuff we say here get's picked up on in the oddest places . Not a lot we can say about how they film the show , but I will say this . The camera crew deserves the Bronze Star , there was a severe shortage of arm hair and eyebrows after the flamethrower shoot . Those guys amaze me . M2 , $6000.00's the price of a parts kit , not that great a deal , about market value , but it was there . Kristos is an encyclopedia of heavy weapons knowledge and is a master of the M2 . Our problem was that he was only down for 2 days and telling the history , development , and theory behind every part in the thing ate up most of it . He had to leave before we could test fire , which left us in an interesting spot . Trouble shooting a weapon you've never seen before , much less operated , sucked . We got it sorted out , but it really was a bitch . We were only able to get API's in time for the shoot , so we called and had the fire department come out with us . Good thing we did , a couple of those fires got damn all nasty , damn all quick . Airs @ 8 central on Wed , and I think we picked up another million or so viewers Thanks guys

Sweet, I hope you guys get an extended show soon. This is one of the coolest shows that i have seen in a while. Unfortunately H&H Tech has been a little too dramatized for me. Don't let them do that to you!!!!!

^THIS^

The walk in that wanted the SBS that day almost seemed staged. Maybe he was 'special'.

If anyone is interested, here are the reported ratings for Wednesday's episodes.

http://thefutoncritic.com/ratings/2...2-million-viewers-350010/20110203discovery01/

2.27 MILLION people viewed the browning machine gun episode! That blows my mind.

 

[03GeeTee]

So I guess this means that there will prolly be a season 2?

 

[dbolemiss]

Son of a gun, that's a good show.

Seems like you raised a good daughter and pretty sharp to, got to love her choice in guns in the competition,lol.

 

[Puddle Pirate]

only you guys would put an eotech on an M2.

 

[aroundlsu]

only you guys would put an eotech on an M2.

The Coast Guard does, too.

 

[Puddle Pirate]

That's a 240, not an M2, and that is also the carrying handle your seeing not an Eotech. I could be wrong, maybe some military units use them on the M2 but i have never seen the coast guard.

 

[Ben Segrest]

I've seen an eotech on an m134, why not an m2. . .

 

[Puddle Pirate]

I'm not complaining about it, to be honest I never thought about putting one on an M2. When we shot them we always walked them onto the target if needed. I would not want to be the guy welding a picantinny rail onto a 60 year old receiver though, however I would love to find out how it stood up to the recoil.

 

[troy_mclure]

this is what i had on my m2!

 

[herohog]

Are those 16 tubes mortars for fending off an "Oh Sh!t!" attack?

 

[DAVE_M]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but those are smoke canisters.

You're forgetting, Teddy took that picture. On his original shot not only can he see that its an Eotech he can see the reticle.... and the center dot.

Right. And I didn't feel like arguing about it and I hate eotechs anyway so I gave up.

 

[Ben Segrest]

So What WAS the point of the picture?

 

[troy_mclure]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but those are smoke canisters.

correct, smoke. they are cool, they burst in the air.

its still not an m2.
