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.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
fotprint I have now seen over 12 Episodes of this series and i can now say -without a doubt- that this is complete bullsh**.First of all: Whats with all the soap opera stuff all the time? All this personal stuff is clearly faked/scripted and frankly just seems kinda whiny.On the other hand we have all the gun-related stuff:What the heck? No gun-workshop in the whole wide world is that way. They use machines that never ever can be accurate enough to call the final product "custom". And then in nearly every episode they all "hope" that their newly constructed gun will work. It may be boring, but in every real custom shops you take measurements all the time and make computer models. Every gun designer KNOWS if his gun is gonna work or not, because he can calculate how much pressure the barrel has to hold and so forth.Then they make ridiculous claims like: We are the first people to put a silencer on a shotgun. Im sorry, but you are not!And there is this one Episode where this big fella just shoots a newly constructed arrow-gun right in the workspace, right after saying that you should be save blablabla... If somebody would do that in a real gun shop, he'd be fired.The other time they claim to have found a number-matching wooden stock for a German WW2-rifle, this is just ridiculous.Im glad that I already have all the guns I want, because in the future we're gonna see some very stupid people repairing and maintaining our guns.Not cool man, not cool...
rightwingisevil bunch of gun-crazy lovers including the daughter of the red jacket owner. this series, well, just lack of almost everything except guns, bullets, target shootings, destroying the targets. there's nothing really deep enough to keep you interested, really. watching these people in this series only gives me some sick feeling. i used to be interested in guns and all other kinds of weaponry, but not any more since after watched several episodes of this series, those characters in it just sickened so much. what are they doing? this series looked more like a NRA promotional marketing commercial. although these people know how to redesign guns, they got the know-hows, but what they have showed us episode after episode were using the killing machines to destroy lot of stuff other than dummies, paper targets. they are like a bunch of kids who got peter pan syndrome, never gave themselves a chance to grow up. their toys were guns, nothing but guns. there is no deeper thoughts about modern weaponry but shallow red-neck like Hillie-billy shallow thinking. this series is the most bored-me-death series i've ever encountered so far, very hollow and shallow. a total shame the western civilization. gun culture? give me a break!
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.
