So apparently welding a bunch of conduit together and mounting it on a trailer frame makes it worth $5,000.00 :headscratch. I'm not so sure hobby rockets are going to work against pirates with RPGs, not to mention the Maritime laws about placing "weapons" on ships. And next week they "invent" a device to kill alligators, guess these guys have never heard of a Bangstick before? This show is rediculous.

But it is a lot of fun to watch.
That incident struck me as counterproductive to our cause and rude. I would like to have seen the owner offer to show them how to operate the gun safely rather than act like a jerk and say "your not worthy". Show is really cool though. How are they supposed to learn if they have no one or no gun to learn with?
I agree-that irritated me quite a bit.

I have not seen this episode, but a buddy of mine, his dad has a light that looks like a mag light that shoots a .410 shell from the back is that similar?

its not really a big deal. they took a gun, welded a flashlight and laser on it. made a box it flips in and out of. this is suppose to be some world changing invention? I thought the fold up gun they were trying to copy was cooler.

This show gets on my nerves a bit. Pretty much everything they do is a copy of someone else's work. The folding pistol/flashlight has been done before with a much better setup:

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I haven't seen them do anything an average gunsmith couldn't do. Actually, just about everything I've seen them do I could probably reasonably duplicate in my garage. But I digress, if it gets someone interested in shooting sports then it can't be all bad... I guess...
