Lock and Load

[Zaxxon]

Just a quick heads up.

On the Military channel they have a series running called Lock and Load

It stars R.Lee.Ermey (yes the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket, a real USMC drill instructor and Vietnam vet)

It's excellent, it traces the history of specific weapons such as the shotgun or rifle and he tries out all of them and gives out some interesting facts at the same time. All with the same 'Ooorrah, listen in maggots' spiel.

It's just good fun with explosians. Out Top Gear's Top Gear, in the good ways.

Semper Fi.......

Gunny's a brilliant guy isn't he! Must get a sore throat from shouting all the time though!

Yep watching this, the trailer where his cap gets blown off makes me chuckle every time. Gunny's a gem!

Hooorah!

I've been enjoying this too. I've decided I need a minigun.

Or an AA12 shotgun - did you see that thing?!

just watched last nighst machine gun episode I want his job and a Bren

anyway I looked at next weeks listings to make sure they were set to record and its seems they are only on this week.

Is that all there is 4 episodes or have I missed some?

[RicksAlfas]

I'm afraid you might have missed some as it's been on a while now, but I'm sure it will repeat again.

The other half thinks they're real. I don't have the heart to correct her
