Guns & Ammo TV

Episode 1
Guns & Ammo television launches year No. 10 by unveiling four new segments and showcasing three major exclusives on new firearms and one new cartridge: the Ruger SR 22, the Springfield XDs, and the Smith & Wesson Governor on the handgun side, and the Hornady .17 Hornet as a new centerfire rifle cartridge.
 
Our resident law enforcement expert and the president of the NSSF offer an extended look at how suppressors are becoming more mainstream as a firearms accessory—and why. Then we head to Ft. Bragg, where the Green Beret train, and we walk you through the anatomy and failure drill.

Episode 2
Another run of exclusive gun reviews highlight our second show by wringing out a new shotgun and one rimfire and two centerfire pistols in our At The Range segment.
 
We’re shoulder to shoulder with the experts as we find out how the Green Beret train for rooftop engagement and then the boys take on Zombie Nation with writer J. Guthrie showing how far he’ll go to train and be battle ready.

Episode 3
What better way to kick off the show than with the steel-framed 1911 versus the “plastic” gun debate? The guys get fired up over this never-ending argument about which one is best. Training techniques are on display at Ft. Bragg as the experts review Low Ready/High Ready/Depressed Muzzle tactics.
 
Semiauto centerfire firearms are in our exclusive spotlight this week as we take a closer look at a trio of new semiauto pistols and a very unique semiauto carbine setup.

Episode 4
The evolution of the PDW (personal defense weapon) is addressed by two of our veteran writers. We touch on the often overlooked and almost always underrated accuracy of the AR platform, review a modern day M1 carbine and U.S.-made AKs, and talk one on one with a district attorney about knowing and understanding local and state laws in terms of how they apply to a personal defense situation when firearms are involved. It’s a two-part interview you won’t want to miss.

Episode 5
AR-platform rifles continue to dominate the shooting sports world and this week we profile a unique AR setup that comes complete with everything you need—including ammo, optics, a hard gun case, and even rations! We also talk about how easy it is to accessorize your AR, and two U.S. Armed Service veterans talk about the attributes of the AGOG optics system.
 
We finish our conversation with a district attorney talking about key post conflict details you need to know, and then through the eyes of a former special-forces operator, review the importance and significance of returning to basic fundamentals.

Episode 6
An entirely new basic bolt-action rifle built from scratch kicks off this week’s show, and early indications are that it could be the frontrunner for “bargain of the year.”
 
We also review firearms and caliber choices of women looking to buy their first personal defense gun, and offer little known and surprising background information on the Green Beret’s sniper stress test.
 
J. Guthrie, who has hunted everything from varmints to predators to big game, talks about why he become a fan of the AR platform for hunting, and we round out this show with a new tactical pump shotgun, and have one of our LE officers offer his views on how holsters have evolved.

Episode 7

Rarely do shooters get to put their hands on full-auto firearms. Watch as J. Guthrie and David Fortier burst onto the range with two Class III guns from CZ and to say the least, we had trouble keeping the hi-cap magazines loaded.
 
Life-saving advice comes from law-enforcement officer Jason Teague on Personal Defense as he talks about clearing a malfunction one-handed, and then Craig Boddington and Jason Hornady take a light-hearted look at Hornady’s new .223 Zombie load while shooting at some “threatening” zombie targets. We then turn the page and take a more serious look at situational close-range urban positional tactics and training that can pay off.

Episode 8

The most popular .22 semiauto rifle ever built gets a makeover as a takedown, and writer Dick Metcalf tells why the manufacturer won’t be able to make them fast enough to meet demand. ARs are back in the news and LWRC is profiled this week with a top-end AR called, fittingly, the REPR, and two of our resident firearms expert, Mark Vorobiev and David Fortier, review the Archer rifle from InterOrdnance.
 


Which caliber is better for personal defense? The .380 or 9mm debate is addressed by two of our veteran writers, while two topics--low-light tactics and shooting prone—may on the surface appear to be basic but should never, ever overlooked.

Episode 9

The Green Beret represents some of America’s best, and the Carbine Stress Test gives you an up close and personal look at just one of many training tools they use to prepare for any possible combat situation.
 
Two new semiauto pistols and a cutting edge patrol carbine offer viewers more meat and potatoes on the exclusive firearms front, and then we take a fresh and always controversial look at the AR versus AK debate and how the  firearms platforms are viewed by current and traditional shooters.

Episode 10

There are thousands of veterans in our viewing audience, and they will appreciate this week’s Direct Fire, as we address the M16 versus M14 controversy and try to convince viewers which is best. Then we turn our attention to pistol sight options for personal defense and watch how and why the Green Beret go through half drills.
 
We top off our show with more new guns, including a great M&P Carry & Range Kit and Doublestar’s first venture into the hunting AR platform with its new Deer Gun.
 

Episode 11

We go right to the source with pistolsmith extraordinaire Richard Heine to get his views on a top-shelf 1911. Lasers on your firearms is a topic that often turns controversial when amongst a group of shooters. We address key facts about lasers in this pro/con debate.
 
Kyle Lamb shows us his take on how to clear carbine malfunctions and we try to answer that question and then take a long look at long guns for home defense.

Episode 12

We wrap up this season with a host of topics shooter centric, ranging from a law enforcement officer talking a close look at stress/fitness inoculation to the gear assigned to the Green Beret sniper.
