Info

Sons of Guns is a reality television series that airs on the Discovery Channel. The series centers on Red Jacket Firearms LLC, a Louisiana-based business that manufactures and sells custom weapons. Will Hayden is the founder and owner of the shop, while his daughter and business partner Stephanie manages the office. As on the Discovery Channel series MythBusters, this show practices a degree of self-censorship and safety-consciousness. Each episode begins with a staff member warning viewers not to try anything demonstrated on the show at home. In addition, during scenes of catastrophic failure, the crew will remind the audience not to try anything at home. The program also makes a noted point to avoid showing specific detail of how weapon modifications or fabrications are performed.

Sons of Guns Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Reynoldshhr I'll start off by saying that i am a huge fan of guns and weapon customizations. I've never been a huge fan of "reality" TV but i do like shows that are somewhat REAL, Like 'The Deadliest Catch" and even 'Pawn Stars". When i first heard about this show i was naturally intrigued and decided to see how it was, the first thing i noticed about this show is that none of the people in it are likable... The owner comes off as a jerk and all the other workers are just as annoying, especially his daughter who thinks she's the hottest gun chick on the planet. Secondly the weapons they customize are nothing special, or at least not special enough to make a TV show out of it, and then they claim all the stuff they build has "neva been done befo". This show could of been good but with the unlikable cast, the over the top drama, the constant sucking up to Will, and the mundane "action" this is for sure a show that you can pass up.
terminalcle I never watched this from the beginning but caught a marathon mid way through season one and rather enjoyed it. I've been a long time gun fan and it was an interesting change for a TV show.However as time has passed the producers, and I'm sure owners of the shop have decided ratings and drama are more important than quality. The overly dramatic tension with the shop manager and his deserting his job was one thing and almost tolerable.Now after returning from a hiatus the show is more soap opera than anything. Granted all of these shows are staged to a point, but now they are just insulting the viewers with pathetic and horribly written overly dramatic sub plots. When Vince returns during the storm and is shadowed standing outside the shop. And of course he is the only person in the world with the part they need. I'm sure that he and his supposed former boss/enemy enjoy a good laugh after each episode wraps. And the topper, when the employee guarding the shop during a severe storm hears a strange noise. And in a building full of supposed modern weapon innovations, the only thing he has at his disposal is a 17th century gun that only exists in replicas and doesn't even fire actual projectiles. Any gun shop I've ever been to in my life the staff carry in belt of hip holsters. And they carry guns that were invented within the last 200 years. After all they're not pirates.I often wonder how the owners of these business feel when they look in the mirror after turning their business dreams into a cheesy soap opera.I remember when the Discovery Channel was educational and had shows that required some actual thought.
fotprint I have now seen over 12 Episodes of this series and i can now say -without a doubt- that this is complete bullsh**.First of all: Whats with all the soap opera stuff all the time? All this personal stuff is clearly faked/scripted and frankly just seems kinda whiny.On the other hand we have all the gun-related stuff:What the heck? No gun-workshop in the whole wide world is that way. They use machines that never ever can be accurate enough to call the final product "custom". And then in nearly every episode they all "hope" that their newly constructed gun will work. It may be boring, but in every real custom shops you take measurements all the time and make computer models. Every gun designer KNOWS if his gun is gonna work or not, because he can calculate how much pressure the barrel has to hold and so forth.Then they make ridiculous claims like: We are the first people to put a silencer on a shotgun. Im sorry, but you are not!And there is this one Episode where this big fella just shoots a newly constructed arrow-gun right in the workspace, right after saying that you should be save blablabla... If somebody would do that in a real gun shop, he'd be fired.The other time they claim to have found a number-matching wooden stock for a German WW2-rifle, this is just ridiculous.Im glad that I already have all the guns I want, because in the future we're gonna see some very stupid people repairing and maintaining our guns.Not cool man, not cool...
mellowliving This show is pretty good. They take a certain weapon and modify it or do restoration work on old pieces. As for what FilmMan wrote, this is a show for ENTERTAINMENT purposes. This show in NOT a history lesson. As much as I love learning about the history of weapons and military operations, sometimes you just want to watch someone mod an Ak-47 and fire it.And if you have no idea and need to know the purpose of a suppressed shotgun (really?) then this show is not for you. Again, this show is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes if you want to learn more about a certain weapon and it's history go watch another show or look it up. But if you want to watch a weapon being modified and watch them blow stuff up with it, then you will love this show.You kind of need to know a bit about weapons and enjoy them to enjoy this show. And by the way the M203 (Or clone) that they attached to the AR-15 which is the same thing as it's military twin the M-16 except it is only Semi-Auto, is NOT A FLARE LAUNCHER!!! They only used flare charges instead of the usual 40mm Grenades for obvious reasons. So FilmMan, I believe you aren't as familiarized with firearms as you say you are. And remember this show is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes.Awesome show too!
