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.

Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
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.
Dom I have been watching this show since it came out and it has kept me entertained ever since. They are good at their jobs, but some of it seems like just MacGyver random guns with pointless stuff. like a silenced shot gun and the desert AR. The shotgun was as loud as a normal rifle or handgun so it seemed kinda silly. Cool but silly. Same with the desert AR they made. They basically took a design that already exists and took credit for it. But it is fun to watch them make the guns so it makes up for their lack of creativity. If you like guns then this show is for you. Even if you think some of their ideas are dumb like i do. Its still a great show.
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...
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.
