Yes, tonight was Excellent - "He already paid" Yes he did.
And that 1918 - wow - it looked to me as though the recoil would have knocked me into the next state LOL
All I could think when I saw the big guy firing that thing was "Terminator" hehe
"I'll be back"

As Will said, combine Arnold and Sylvester and this is what he is like. Looks like someone you would not want to meet in a dark alley at night.
I have watched some of the shows, my wife probably more than me but it is too similar to the Orange County Choppers or the cooking show where they seem to just focus on the bitching about what everyone is doing wrong. It just seems like all these reality shows want is someone to get in front of the camera and complain about everyone. pat themselves on the back and throw in a few cuss words. After awhile you get tired of it no matter what else is going on.
I've watched it since the beginning. Personally I really like it, though I wish each episode was an hour so the guys could go more into what they are actually doing to the guns.
The AK-14 with the integral silencer was cool and, even though they don't want to say, I've got a pretty good idea how they did it.
The one I couldn't figure out was the episode where the daughter sold two rifles that look like they had barrels that were less than 12" long. I didn't think that was legal regardless of where you are, but from an above post it appears that it is.

As I understand it, in the US (which of course doesn't include NY :cray: ) You can apply for a "tax stamp" or similar from the Fed, and once approved you can have an SBR (short-barreled rifle). That's how it works with silencers, at least.
Here in NY, basically everything I've seen on that show is considered illegal - lawmakers here protect the criminals.

From tonight's episode:
"We can spend 2 days talking about it or 2 days and actually know about it".
Sure Will. Ignore the only person working for you with more than 3 functioning brain cells. I'm sure brute force is the best way to design a good product.
"I don't want to lose one meter of range"
Sure Will. I'll get right on decreasing the barrel pressure while maintaining the same range. Maybe we can find a unicorn to carry the bullet the extra distance.

That show is soooo stupid!They dont build guns they just modify them. On the other hand American Guns is so much better and the daughter is hotter, this show they make guns from a block if steel to fit the customers needs.

Bad bookkeeping. Apparently he was a few guns short when he got audited. That's another reason why I don't care for the show too much - aside from being an ass, the guy isn't even licensed! He goes around threatening people's jobs when in fact he works for them!
Like I said......"reality" and "TV" are mutually exclusive.
They had a couple of guns that one of they guys messed up and threw away because they were beyond repair. They also had a robbery at some point that caused some guns to go missing.
They did loose their FFL because of it, and Vince had the FFL for them to be able to continue to operate. They did have a deal where Vince did own the company, but didn't run the company. I don't know what they ended up doing after Vince left, but I believe he has his own gun shop now.
I wonder if Will will have a chance to get his FFL back at some point or if it's gone forever?

I DVR every show. Like every other show of this type, they script in a lot of drama for entertainment purposes. What they do on the show with firearms, flame throwers, etc., is pretty cool though. DVR and flash forward through the gunk and it's REALLY good.
