Synopsis

Sons of Guns is a reality television series that airs on the Discovery Channel. The series centers on Red Jacket Firearms LLC, a Louisiana-based business that manufactures and sells custom weapons. Will Hayden is the founder and owner of the shop, while his daughter and business partner Stephanie manages the office. As on the Discovery Channel series MythBusters, this show practices a degree of self-censorship and safety-consciousness. Each episode begins with a staff member warning viewers not to try anything demonstrated on the show at home. In addition, during scenes of catastrophic failure, the crew will remind the audience not to try anything at home. The program also makes a noted point to avoid showing specific detail of how weapon modifications or fabrications are performed.

whisp-989-310274 When I watch shows that are showing us how stuff is built or customized it would be great to actually learn something. The amount of info they give is very limited and it is more a soap opera then anything. All they ever have is continual drama between employees and such.This show is a waste of time and I don't even bother to watch it anymore since so tired of their sob stories.They need to change the outline of this show to show more info and although in the show their ceo says he wants big orders and stay away from the one time jobs its the one time jobs that would be interesting for this show and they need to go more in-depth into what they are doing.
martin_bill32 A show about a poorly managed, cry baby gun shop, with guys with little dicks, and big guns and cheap pyrotechnic explosions at the end. Other reviewers say this is a soap opera, they are too kind. The owner of the failing shop is an egotistical jerk who like to tell "us" that he is the luckiest guy on the planet because he can shoot a car or bale of hay or whatever, but we the "untrained" should never attempt anything that he does or we will die! "It is far to dangerous for us to have Hollywood come in and rig explosions and watch them go off. I thought this POS was off the air. I managed to make it through 4 minutes of the show, until sad little Willy (the boss) shows up and barfs out his lines. He is too emotionally upset to carry on. We could only hope. Don't waste your time.
funwithstardestroyers This show was great when it first came out. I loved seeing these guys modify and build cool new guns. Unfortunately, as the seasons progressed, the show become less and less about guns, and more about stupid reality show drama. First, we had the Stephanie-Kris love crap, then we had the Vince crap. Now we have the Kris getting jealous of Stephanie goofing around with Jessie James crap. Come on guys! This show was great when it was solely about the guns, but when you add in this stupid reality show stuff, it just becomes a detractor. That said, these guys have always done some really cool stuff. I like seeing the design and building process, as well as the some of the old guns that come along. I just wish that they would go back to making guns and not trying to make this a soap opera.
grd-277-763630 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.
