They claim a 16db sound reduction for their "supressed" Saiga shotgun. This is really nothing by industry reduction standards. Shotguns are close quarter weapons that need to be handy and light, not have some beefy schnozz hung off the end.
This shop's customers are mostly Bubbas just looking for stuff that's "all tactical n' sh*t" (tm), not real world performance.
I personally know the top 6-7 suppressor designers and manufacturers in the US. They all collectively laughed at this..
As for the show's star...an attitude, a mouth and much scowling does not an informed, safe, knowlegable gun guy make!

The libs and gun grabbers are all smiling at this show knowingly....

Flaws I noticed.
Grenade launcher was not 40mm. It was 37mm flare launcher.
Only (1) one person is actually a gunsmith.
Like mentioned, needed to call in an M2 expert to put it together.
The under shotgun was crap. Barrel too long, semi-auto for 1 shot?, Magazine hanging down. Should have used a swivel locking, cut down single shot 10 ga. with an available specialized breeching load.
Cannon mounted in front on row boat was fake. They shot powder without a ball. Would have ripped the front of the wood boat off if packed and fired with cannon ball.
Custom built lightweight M-16? How much lighter can you get with cut down barrel, flat top receiver, shortened handguard and collapsible stock? Standard weight savings to me.

Overall, I honestly believe this show puts gun owners in a bad light. It's a good idea for a show but, the wrong business and darn wrong players.

Agreed!

I'd love to see a show about real gunsmithing.
But not this! Wow, so much stupid.
