I must admit I know absolutly nothing about Gunsmith as a profession. I was so very impressed with gunsmiths or gunmakers like John Vermont Martz. These are the real masters now what appears to be a few good old boys getting together perfecting pipe bombs. I couldn't beleive what they admitted using preriged a target with explosives to impress his purchaser. Instead I would find it more interesting to watch the skills of the true engravers or designers making pieces like John, not mearly how to blow up things. I can watch Mythbusters who have all the safeguards and have interfaced their audience taking every safeguard and give warning throughout the show. I don't know. This show just bugs me. What scares me is that someday, there might be a mistake or distracion. I just hope and pray so innocent bystander is permanently hust or scarrred. I would invite the opinion of a few masters that aren't constanly distracted by television cameras and love to keep excellance as their top priority!
