I'll start off by saying that i am a huge fan of guns and weapon customizations. I've never been a huge fan of "reality" TV but i do like shows that are somewhat REAL, Like 'The Deadliest Catch" and even 'Pawn Stars". When i first heard about this show i was naturally intrigued and decided to see how it was, the first thing i noticed about this show is that none of the people in it are likable... The owner comes off as a jerk and all the other workers are just as annoying, especially his daughter who thinks she's the hottest gun chick on the planet. Secondly the weapons they customize are nothing special, or at least not special enough to make a TV show out of it, and then they claim all the stuff they build has "neva been done befo". This show could of been good but with the unlikable cast, the over the top drama, the constant sucking up to Will, and the mundane "action" this is for sure a show that you can pass up.

Sons of guns is a pretty good and enjoyable show however it is, yet another, "adjusted" reality show. There are so many setups that its getting to be more fun watching for the continuity errors than watching the content of the show.One of the more obvious setups is when they call in Ira when attempting to repair the 32mm mortar. They grind the hole in the tube which leaves all the edges glistening with grinding marks yet when they call in Ira, supposedly after the grinding has taken place, he is seen examining a tube with no grinding marks around the hole. Obviously he examined the tube and condemned it BEFORE it was ground and from there on the whole segment was a setup.The whole "wrong buffer in the AR15" episode was such an obvious setup. In the episode before you see the buffer fall to the floor when Kris angrily disassembles the gun (how a buffer which is shown encased in a spring not 2 seconds earlier falls to the floor is another mystery). When Vince starts to build the rifle he picks up a buffer from the bench behind him and very conveniently stands it on a block of wood on his bench, camera zooms in to show the buffer in minute detail - why?, is the camera man a modified AR15 expert and knows its the wrong buffer or is this just another example of the modified reality. Show the wrong buffer so they can solve the wrong buffer issue in the next episode? From then on the whole "it doesn't shoot in auto" segment is an obvious setup, either that or the AR expert camera man wanted the build to fail which raises a whole different set of issues.If they keep making such obvious mistakes and adjusting reality to create the all important "illusion of peril / pressure" (in all shows like this every job has a stupid timescale on it - yeah right, business doesn't work like that) which every reality program needs these days then I for one will be finding something else to watch.Apart from that its a good show; just don't believe everything you see.

This show is pretty good. They take a certain weapon and modify it or do restoration work on old pieces. As for what FilmMan wrote, this is a show for ENTERTAINMENT purposes. This show in NOT a history lesson. As much as I love learning about the history of weapons and military operations, sometimes you just want to watch someone mod an Ak-47 and fire it.And if you have no idea and need to know the purpose of a suppressed shotgun (really?) then this show is not for you. Again, this show is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes if you want to learn more about a certain weapon and it's history go watch another show or look it up. But if you want to watch a weapon being modified and watch them blow stuff up with it, then you will love this show.You kind of need to know a bit about weapons and enjoy them to enjoy this show. And by the way the M203 (Or clone) that they attached to the AR-15 which is the same thing as it's military twin the M-16 except it is only Semi-Auto, is NOT A FLARE LAUNCHER!!! They only used flare charges instead of the usual 40mm Grenades for obvious reasons. So FilmMan, I believe you aren't as familiarized with firearms as you say you are. And remember this show is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes.Awesome show too!
