Yo
Bored of something to watch?
Then catch "Lock n Load" which is on every night of the Military History Channel.
It is excellent!
R Lee Emery (USMC retired) presents. You might remember him from the Stanley Kubrick film "Full Metal Jacket" - he was the mad drill sergeant.
Anyway, each programme deals with the development of a class of weapons. So far we have had missiles, armoured personal carriers, shotguns, mini guns and machine guns, helicopters, tanks, rifles, pistols, guns. It is very good - R Lee shows how each weapon started in ancient times and demonstrates how the weapons have developed. Firing cannons, machiones guns, chain guns, pistols, tanks etc is great. Highlights for me have included a fully working French FT-17 tank. We've always called this "Dalek", and it is hysterical.
Ooh rar!!
