gunny.gif<\/a>After watching an all-day “Mail Call<\/a><\/strong>” marathon, tonight we’re watching R. Lee Ermey<\/strong>‘s Lock ‘N’ Load<\/strong> on the History Channel<\/strong>. This is the premier of Ermey’s new show and the first episode is all about MACHINE GUNS<\/strong>! The second is all about Artillery . . .<\/p>\n

First Episode: Gunny checks out the rapid fire, lead spitting destruction of the machine gun. From an authentic hand cranking 1890’s Gatling Gun to one of the fastest machine guns on the planet today–the Mini Gun–Gunny rat a tat tats his way through machine gun history while high-speed photography captures the exploding targets in incredible slow motion.<\/p>\n

Second Episode: Gunny takes a journey through the history of cannons and field artillery and shoots off everything from Revolutionary War-era cannonballs to the futuristic shells of NLOS-C — a fully automated piece of artillery that’s so new the Army’s still testing it. Other featured artillery includes Civil War cannons and the Pack 75 Howitzer, a World War II cannon used in the Battle of the Bulge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We saw Gunny at the NRA<\/a> in April but didn’t get to speak with him. Next time, we will.<\/p>\n

We’re both happy that the Gunny<\/strong> has a new show. So far (at 50 minutes into the second hour) we’ve been highly entertained by Lock ‘N’ Load<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
