American Guns

[getsome]

This is a new show on tonight on the Discovery channel Mondays at 10:00 pm eastern...I hope this will turn out to be a good show and I will be watching tonight...I watched "Sons of Guns" and it was pretty good for a while until they got a little crazy building things like a 12 gauge Gatling gun and 4 x barrel M15 multi mount contraption and other stupid stuff like that and then the drama started up between "Will" the owner and an employee wanting to date his daughter....

I also can't get into "Top Shot" anymore for the same reason...The high drama in the bunk house and the elimination round stuff is stupid plus I have to mute the volume because I can't stand that stupid loud mouth play by play yelling jack ars host...:blah:

Getsome, it's not healthy to hold your true feelings all bottle up inside.

Please let us know how you really feel first chance you get. I have the ability to read between the lines and see those true feelings and I agree with them completely, except for the one where you want to date my wife. That's a little twisted.

[getsome]

Sorry for the rant, I forgot my afternoon pill....About your wife and me, she said that you said it would be ok...:eek:...Sorry about that old man but she is real nice and you are a lucky man!!!...:p

[Bawanna]

Didn't see no rant. Just some trapped hidden emotion that needed release.

Mrs. Bawanna speaks with forked tongue, I didn't say it was ok. I wouldn't do that, lost my first long time girlfriend for a miscommunication similar to that. Poor girl never did marry, still hear from her occasionally, was in my wife's graduating glass as were most of my girlfriends.

I know, more than you wanted to know but it was happy thoughts.

I just set my DVR to record the season. I am likely wrong, but it seems like that Wyatt guy builds kit guns in Montana or somewhere like that. It's a workaround to laws preventing gun purchase.

He'll probably get a lot of business from CA with the Gov "Twinky" Brown signing into law yesterday bills that require registration of long guns, and other bad laws.

I watched the first episode and it was ok. I'll probably watch it just because I'm a perv, if for no other reason.http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Galleries/Shows/A_F/Ai_Am/American_Guns/season1/american-guns-05.jpg

Looked like a cool show but I did not get too far into the first episode before the Mrs. demanded a channel change. I don't think she liked the scenery. :)

[BEARDOG]

Missed the show :(, but will defiantly have to try to catch it next time,...That has to be THE finest example of a M1 carbine I have ever seen! :tongue:

They need to get those girls out of there. They're blocking the view of the guns. :rolleyes:

Saw it, didn't like it, won't go out of my way to watch it again.

While I'm happy for any show on TV to paint guns in a good/normal light, I can't get into the reality TV bit. That's just me. These people could be selling soap vs. guns and it would make me no more/less interested in what they're doing.

I do follow Top Shot but it is in spite of, not because of, the drama that goes on back at the house. I just like the shooting competitions & events & interesting guns - that's cool.

All stated above is true. If you their website and check reviews there is not a lot good said about them by their customers for whatever that is worth. I did not understand why the handmade "knuckle duster" had to be held 2'' away from the oversized water filled baloon to test it was necessary.

That being said, if it promotes guns in a positive light it may be good for all of us. Lots of non shooters will be watching because of the ladies. There is something about a cute blonde with a 1911 on her hip. Hummmm.

Don't know if it's real or not. Real as are those really family and the others work at the store? It also looks like a rerun of the chopper show with the family drama. I'll DVR a few more shows but expect to kill the recording.

When does "Justified" return?

[getsome]

It was ok I guess, not quite what I was hoping for...The ladies are nice eye candy I suppose so long as the show doesn't turn into "Leave it to Cleavage"....I enjoyed the making of the palm gun and found it somewhat funny that the guy had such a hard time with modern CNC machinery turning out something hand made over 100 years ago...

I will watch it again until it turns into another "American Chopper" with everyone yelling, finger pointing and fighting with each other for the camera and if that happens I'm gone because that format has gotten real old...

I think the son doing engraving is pretty amazing. I have no talent at all for stuff like that, despite being fairly good at sketching. When I get a tool involved, the lines start wandering all over the place. Looks like he does some pretty nice work. I hope the parents get their wish and the kids follow in their footsteps. Not enough people do that these days.

I watched it last night. Seems like a combo of Pawn Stars (Which I really llike due to the History aspect of items), American Choppers, and Sons of Guns.
It was ok. That rancher guy had a great collection and walk-in safe/gun room. I'd love to have a place like that where you can walk out on your deck and fire away! :33:

[MW surveyor]

Caught the repeat last night as well (going back and forth between Top Shot). Not that impressed with the show. May watch from time to time but if I miss it, no problem. Can't watch and don't watch Sons of Guns either.

What's the heck up with the "hand dog"? Real gun shops have something nice and big that can look you in the eye when they stand up on their hind legs! :) Might as well have a cat.

I tried to give this show a chance so I watched one more episode. I came to the same conclusion it stinks. If I wanted to watch boobs and metal I have the internet and ****** joints. Its just they try and hop things up with the helicopter (really a helicopter to buy a rifle) and the wife and husband need a divorce why do I need to hear another mans wife nag on TV when we have our own.

[Tilos]

I didn't see the show, but after looking at the posted pic, I have to wonder how many sex trophies have gone for a ride on the same hip as that M1.

[jocko]

My dream is when I die I will be made into that saddle that gal is ridng that horse ON!!

[getsome]

I had to give up on this one, just to over the top ...I agree about the nagging wife thing so I started watching reruns of "Love and Marriage" on TV Land and I get it all Nagging wife, Lots of T&A and its funny to boot!!!... Have y'all seen "American Hoggers" and "Hairy Bikers"?...I can't figure out which one is Jocko...:p

[muggsy]

I second your opinion, aray. I'm not into drama queens.

[MW surveyor]

Have y'all seen "American Hoggers" and "Hairy Bikers"?...I can't figure out which one is Jocko...:p

It sure isn't the gals on American Hogger

[bigmacque]

"Drama" queens?
I watched this show for the first and last time last night, and I only lasted 20 minutes. What a terrible show.

Too bad to, it could have potential, but all they're trying to do is stir stuff up for television. Very disappointing.

[Phooey]

4535Maybe a new series with some potential:rolleyes:

[getsome]

Hot Dawg.... Daisy Duke in cammo!!!! yeeeeee haw...:001_tt2:

[MW surveyor]

Just as long as they are cammo short shorts!

$60,000 for 42 firearms ........ must average over $1,400 per firearm to break even. I sure didn't see a lot of high end firearms ........ maybe they didn't show the good ones or maybe they had some class 3 stuff I didn't notice. The Thompson looked kinda phony to me but what do I know.




Why was the pink 45 such a big deal ....... build what the client wants and take the money.
