Tonight Discovery premiered a new series, Sons Of Guns. The show is based on Will Hayden's weapon shop, Red Jackets. What do they do at Red Jackets? You name it!It started with a man who wanted a suppressed shotgun he saw in a movie. He had to have one.
Red Jacket deals with a combination of cutting edge weapons and antiques, sometimes restored and sometimes built from scratch. If follow up episodes are as good as what I saw tonight I will be watching Sons Of Guns for a while.
While they were still figuring out how to do that a truck pulls in with a Church bell Cannon on a trailer - an original from the Civil War! The guys want to shoot it.
My favorite is the 'Master Key' requested by the local SWAT Team. If it weren't for the paperwork I would want one of these myself.
One of Will's challenges is getting this stuff past his daughter, Stephanie, who runs the business end of the shop. Things like the M-203 he had to buy "Due to the tottle inability to continue life without it". I have written down several such lines for 'debates' with my wife.

Whew! First thing that comes up on this blog are that guy's scary eyes! Hard thing to take early in the morning!What about the daughter in this new series?
ReplyDeleteI think this show is awesome! I like the projects they work on and there is a lot less drama than most reality shows. As a Dish Network employee I have been recording the new episodes at home and streaming them to my phone when I have time with the Sling Adapter. I also like how the personalities of everyone in the shop go together nicely. I hope they get enough of a fan base to take this show from thirty minutes to a full hour!
