I'm sitting here watching Sons of Guns and overall the show is entertaining....but....
They keep giving bad information on the show. A guy came in with an AR and wanted it converted to left side ejection. The guy that works at Red Jacket kept saying that firing a normal AR left handed would "get you a face full of brass". Bull$@#$. They even had a little animation when he was saying it, showing spent brass flying almost directly backward....ignoring the brass deflector all together. I shoot an AR left handed and have never had a piece of brass touch my face. Even when I've fired old M-16A1s, that didn't have a brass deflector, I only had a piece of brass graze my cheek one time.
Second....on the next episode...a guy, who was supposed to be the expert....was asked what the rate of fire was on a Mk-19 grenade launcher they were working on. He said "About 10 rounds a second"......BZZZZZZZT....wrong. Not even close. Don't these guys fact check before they air the show?
