I belong to a private list of real world operators, designers and manufacturers of weapons and systems.

Without intending to belittle anybody's opinion here, the real world gun people I am privileged to know all agree that this show is populated by clowns.

Just watching the Ma Deuce episode showed me who they are. They brought in a known M2 expert, (Christos) who I am familiar with. The show's star belittled Christo's attempts to impart some history and safety advice to the shop. Instead, they were more interested in getting the gun built fast. It was more "git 'er done" versus "let's be safe and knowledable". The final scenes showed them trying to get the M2 running without the benefit of a headspace/timing guage, (trial and error).
M2 out of batterys KILL!!!!
They even let the daughter up there for a try. They then were surprised when they lit a dry field on fire with an APIT round!
I really believe this show will prove to be a long term detriment to the shooting sports rather than a asset..
