New firearms show coming to Military Channel in Nov:

http://press.discovery.com/us/mil/programs/triggers/

 

In each episode of TRIGGERS, Willis is joined by historical and technical experts to test a series of iconic firearms and examine what made each one unique from competitors in its class. Gun-mounted cameras and high-speed photography capture every moment of the bullet's trajectory, featuring its explosive escape from the barrel to the powerful force the impact makes on its target. Each weapon has an antecedent that sparked its development, as well as a successor that improved upon its technology-or was developed in response to its supremacy. Each was developed for one reason: to gain a competitive edge over the enemy, and the winner was the biggest, best or fastest weapon.

 

I wish I could get the Military Channel in HD

I can, and maybe we will finally have a gun show worth watching, besides Gunny. The reality shows have to go.

They need a 'How It's Made' of guns... I'd love to see how AR-15s are built from the ground up, and how they do mass assembly of lower receivers.

Sounds like a revamped and better 'Weaponology'

Cool, we could use an unscripted type of show, we have enough reality TV already.

Premieres tonight at 10pm

The focus of today's episode will apparently be the quintessential M1911 pistol. Should be interesting.

While that sounds awesome it is probably a bit too 'hardcore' for the average viewer. The reality show aspect of Top Shot/SOGs/AGs makes it appeal to a wider audience. As mentioned before it seems like it will be more along the lines of Weaponolgy/Futureweapons etc. In either case it looks like it will be worth a watch.
