Sons of Guns: Difference between revisions

* [[Camera Abuse]]: The behind the scenes episode in season 3 showed that the heat generated from the flame cannon was so intense that it MELTED one of the cameras, and nearly took the cameraman with it!

* [[Clip Show]]:

** Not a regular episode, meant as a teaser into the third season; also, filmed before the finale of season 2, so it gives nothing away towards {{spoiler|Kris' decision.}}

** A season 3 episode went behind the scenes with the Red Jacket crew answering viewer questions and showing scenes from previous episodes.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: The Red Jacket flashlight gun. It looks like a little black briefcase with a flashlight built in. It folds out into a modified M11. And it has a hidden compartment with emergency wilderness survival supplies included.

** In a recent episode, Will described [[Ted Nugent]] as "semi prepared" after he had pulled out a glock, two spare magazines, and a PPK. Will then showed Ted a full-auto Glock 18

* [[Death From Above]]: One episode had the Red Jacket crew find a way to door-mount a MAG 58 machine gun on a helicopter. The episode ends with them raining lead on some junked cars.

** Also the Soviet 82mm mortar. Incoming!

** Supposedly, Will OK'd the motorcycle-machine gun because he had never gotten the opportunity to create a gun for purely aesthetic reasons.

** On the Sons of Guns: Guns of Glory clip show, the crew reveals that the motorcycle gun was actually a fairly practical design and it wound up working better than they originally thought.

** As well as the development and use of various explosives (Joe is often said to have come up with a new "mixture")

** After having a drag race between Will's Harley and a Porsche Cayenne on a private road near the shop, will looks to the camera and tells the viewers that unless they happen to own the street they're racing on, not to do it at home.

** Will got together with Rich Wyatt from that show to co-host a documentary on the top 10 shootouts in history which aired following the season 2.5 premier.

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: A girl hired on by Steph to help her with the front-end work; she couldn't hardly do ''anything'' right, and was fired the same day she was hired.

** The show frequently ends with junked cars being used as targets, said cars often being rigged to explode when fired upon.

** Joe is very ''enthusiastic'' about this part of his job.

{{quote| '''Will:''' That is why you spend $1,500 on a grenade launcher. So that you can launch grenades! }}

* [[Extended Disarming]]: Ted Nugent stopped by and displayed the fact that he was carrying at least 3 handguns. No knives were seen, but...

** In season 3, episode 1, Joe leads the team in outfitting a British Ferret armored vehicle with quite a few grenade launchers intended for riot suppression.

** The season 3 finale has Will strap a grenade launcher on a custom anti-zombie M16.

* [[Gun Stripping]]:

** Happens a lot, not much details shown on screen though. They are gunsmiths, after all.

* [[Infant Immortality]]: Cruelly averted in the first episode of season 3 when a child dies in Joe's arms following a shooting on Halloween in New Orleans.

* [[Initiation Ceremony]]: See [[Secret Test of Character]]. Also, when Flem starting working at Red Jacket, Will made him cut off his pony tail.

** The World War II flamethrower.

** Later taken [[Up to Eleven]] with a custom-made flamethrower the size of a tank cannon.

*** Though he didn't specifically ask for a blunderbuss, simply something that would allow him to break the record for most pigeons shot from a single fire gun. Even he was surprised when they showed him his new gun.

** Jessie James visited the shop in season three, and worked with the crew to build a custom Browning Automatic Rifle. A preview of Jesse's own Discovery Channel series was played during a commercial break as well, and he appeared a couple episodes later to take depivery of the gun after it returned from an engraver.

* [[Spent Shells Shower]]: Quite frequently, especially when the crew is firing automatic guns.

** Averted as hard as it can be possibly be averted. Steph mans the front of the shop, and many times ends up surprising the hell out of most of the customers about how much more she knows about guns than they do.

** Often the boys at the back of the shop are doing something that requires Steph's attention in addressing testosterone-fueled idiocy, to the point where she'd probably wishes for just one day where she can stay in the front office.
