AMERICAN GUNS - TV Show

I think everyone knows it is TV. I think everyone here also knows that a huge amount of America forms opinions from TV and even uses TV as a gun instructor.

It isn't that every single bit of the show isn't 100% accurate, but that the vast majority of the show seems scripted in an unrealistic manner that isn't very positive.

The owner comes across as being very sexist in his statement about making guns for "men!" and not wanting to do the pink gun.

TIVO selection now deleted.
 
I feel a duty to watch this sort of thing so I can be up to speed if a thread starts on it.

See what we mods have to sacrifice! :D I could be watching the Food Channel!
 
Stay with the food channel. The scripts are better. Listening to the owner of Gunsmoke go on and on about the hand cannon build ("It's a cannon, but you hold it in your hands!") was pretty pathetic. The "cannon" was a .50 cal converted Hawkins BP barrel, so not some sort of hugely powerful weapon able to just blow up as the guy kept suggesting. Yes, handcannon in the past were made with less than great metallurgic technology and the less than great understanding of powder use, but that wasn't what was being built.

I believe the chefs on the food channel when they get excited about the food they are making. I don't believe much of what they have to say on American Guns.

Diners, drive ins, and dives....now there's a show I like to watch.:)

This one lost me with what looked like(to me) a scripted slip of the engraving tool on the .50 and all the drama and resulting raise set up by the same.
Opted out of the hand cannon viewing experience because of the engraving episode.
 
Can't stand most "reality" TV shows, this is just the same BS the rest of them have........ Everything is scripted 100%.

Now Gunney Serg. R Lee Ermey, his show is something my wife and I like to watch.
 
hm. i wonder depending on atf rules, if a shop can just build stuff without paying excise tax, issuing serial numbers, following destructive device rules etc. i also thought that a manufacturing license was different than a gunsmith one...bobn
 
Just saw a partial rerun of the last episode. A woman walked in with huge guns and said, "Hi, I am looking for a gun. Bigger is better." The male clerk couldn't take his eyes off her guns and gave a smirk.

Anybody that takes this show seriously is a moron.
