just asking before i give my thoughts

It's OK. It just seems like the guy is always on to something "big" that winds up going nowhere. 3 guns here, 5 guns there. It's gun related, so that's a big plus. The more gun shows on TV the better in that regard. It also gets a little tiring seeing him propping up his daughter all the time. It's not like she would be missed if she went shopping, or went to get lunch for the guys. More or less a bitchy answering machine that is all staged for the show.   Bill T.

I enjoy it.  Guns, tattoos, a cute chick and blowing shit up.  What's not to like?

Interesting show, but they try to make it sound like none of this has ever been done before. 

They grafted a shotgun onto an M-16.  See "Predator", the Indian guy carried one.

They built a toy bazooka for WWII re-enactors.  I've build rockets to launch out of my LAW tube.  If I thought I could get $1000 for them I would still be making them.

The best thing I've seen them do was rebuilding the flamethrower for the MOH WWII vet.

Since I've never heard of Red Jacket firearms before the show, I woud have to say they are GOOD gunsmiths, but not necessarily GREAT gunsmiths.

I watched the night they built a Ma Deuce from a kit then proceeded to light the Louisiana swamp on fire shooting tracers.

While I appreciate the southern, laid back, hillbilly mentality, it doesn't make them look like the brightest bunch of guys out there.  Kind of like a Marriage advice show with Jesse James as the leading authority.

I've only seen a few episodes, but I like the show.  Their specialty, from what I've gathered, is suppressed firearms. They ARE new and innovative in their particular niche of the industry.  Where else have you seen an integrally suppressed AK or a suppressed shotgun?  Maybe they were already out there and I've been spending too much time under my rock.  In terms of sales, 3 here and 4 there may not seem like much, but these are first runs to single buyers.  I'm sure the numbers look much better after the product is established, plus they aren't cheap.
