Future Weapons on NOW

[Walking Fire]

Discovery Channel.
Looks like a good show.

[Yute]

It has its moments but the host is a bit of an oddball. I remember last week he said something on the lines of -
A bolt action rifle you have to work backkkkk and then fowarrdd. It can take 15 to 20 seconds!
(When talking about the .50 m82)
I'm not too sure how long it takes that Navy Seal to work the bolt of a rifle, but even Russian conscripts can work bolts faster than 15 to 20 seconds

I just hate how over dramatic they make everything "The utter destruction is breathtaking, such precision and devastation...unbelievable." Yeah whatever just blow the sh*t up already..

Could not have said it better

I do like the show though. I don't mind the the host to much.

Man, I have a 1896 Krag that I can rapid fire faster than that...

[PanzerAce]

hehe, M82= semi auto

[Henry47]

They restate the same fact over and over again, trying to drag it out to make the hour. They'll also show the same clip more than once, which is a damn waste of time cuz like stated above "i just wana see **** blown up"

I enjoyed the "Metal Rain" bit. That was pretty cool. I don't think it's on "The List" either!!!

[chau_mein]

Does anybody know when the Disc. channel's showing a rerun?

Yeah, the program isn't entirely accurate, but it's still better than a lot of crap that's on TV. Loved the .50 segment when they fired off 10 rounds through the Barrett 82 in less than 10 seconds, but couldn't believe it when the host said it takes "15 to 20 seconds" to work a bolt action 50 .

I've Tivo'd the three episodes shown and plan to record the rest of 'em.

[Pulsar]

I was almost yelling at the TV for that. And what's worse than that, he said it was a .308 used in the AK47, but I don't think it was even a .308 he was holding, it looked suspiciously like 7.62x54R

[50 Freak]

I wonder about the host though. The show claims that he was a former SEAL.

If that is true, maybe I'm not privy to SEAL training techniques but I would think that a SEAL would not be blinking everytime his gun fired.

Watch the episode where he is firing a tactified AK, some bullpup and see that everytime he pulled the trigger, both his eyes closed.

yeah this guy really is a shmuck. My buddy and I were watching the .50 episode and the metalstorm one last night screaming at him. What a doofus. I don't mean to discredit him, but does anyone know if he actually is/was a seal?
