90% of the episodes.[/QUOTE]
100% of the episodes to be accurate.
[QUOTE=Bean-O;18202579]The show is loud and obnoxious.
The scenarios in it are very contrived.
The weapons/armor/etc. demonstrated never catches on for some reason that is conveniently NEVER mentioned (usually price).
They think every single new wildcat caliber that has marginally better ballistic performance will be standard issue a week from now because it's so much better.
Never mind the fact that:
-Replacing an entire inventory of weapons is expensive.
-Establishing a pipeline to mass-produce and distribute a new ammunition is time-consuming and costly.
-Having too many different bullets to supply to the front lines is a logistical headfuck.
-Every country on earth wants to use either NATO or Soviet-bloc pattern calibers for this reason.
Are all the weapons they show off on that show duds? Probably not but a good portion of them aren't going anywhere. The obnoxious factor is what really kills that show's appeal to me. Mack always sounds like he's jizzing his freaking pants.[/QUOTE]
It's Discovery Channel.
It's not actually for discovering, just entertainment.
i like it when the things blow up
[QUOTE=Rygar69;18201555]How so?[/QUOTE]
Because it's just dribble. "YES THIS GUN WILL CHANGE WARFARE FOREVER" = Every episode (As everyone has already pointed out)
its pretty much like windows. Everytime a new one comes out it "wont have any of the problems from the preivous windows" but it always does. Just like guns will keep improving and have improved. There will always be problems
Ads for the show were on the so-called "dynamic ads" in Battlefield 2142, but the show never had giant walkers or floating-base-things, bastards.

Did anyone else read that in his raspy whisper voice when he is trying to be quiet? Also I fucking lol'd at that kitty corner shot thingy.
A lot of that shit isn't actually going to show up in American warfare any time soon. Makes for neat TV, but their practical applications are often pretty limited.
Also, every fuckin episode has something that promises to change the way the whole world does warfare, and none of that has happened yet.
Well think about it, he has to over react. If he used the tone of somebody giving a documentary, everyone would fall asleep...
Only to be awoken five minutes later by a montage of the noises the weapon makes.

Thank you for voicing your opinion. Have a heart. And let's all have an orgy.

Though some weapons are ridiculous, they do use some of them, IE:
F-22
F-35
V-22
Excalibur cannon round
improved AC-130 cannon...
The unmanned boat and helicopter
LRADs
The list goes on.
I love this show I never heard of. I thought this was basically posting images of future weapons.
One thing that I fucking hate about this show is people who go around spouting it as truth and that the weapons shown will be used next week. Despite that they're either expensive, complete scams, or just marginally better
In example: Dragonskin body armour. Sure! it's flexible and provides good direct protection while being lightweight, but the angular protection sucks ass and it falls apart from even normal amounts of every day use and abuse.

No, no. The other 10% of the episodes are THIS GRENADE WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF WARFARE!!
this post requires hearts
Steve Irwin and that Mike guy really act alike, which is quite funny.
Steve: "Oh god, look at that! That's a monster of a croc'! Look at them faaangs! Most powerful jaws of na'ure."
Mike:" Oh god, look at that! That's a monster of a barr'l! Look at them sheeeells! Most powerful caliber of the world. Oh god yes fap fap fap."
Mike's a gunwanker, and Steve... well, Steve will be missed. :ohdear:

Mike's voice is sexy.

Well, c'mon. He kind of has to be like that. I mean, would you be interested in a show where the host is like,
"THIS GUN BLOWS LOLOLOLOL IT AIN'T GONNA DO CRAP"
future weapons, good program, but the guy is a bit annoying. anyway, about a hundred years a nutter called nikola tesla was inventing a ray gun. no not like a cartoon ray gun. it was a gun that fired a concentrated beam of radiation that instantly killed anything in its path, it oucld even disable vehicles. but suprisingly the radiation disapperated after a couple of seconds. im not sure if it was only in prototype stages but when the guy died the FBI nicked all his plans etc. for anyone intrested in electricty related science, read about tesla, he was a fucking genius.....

Remember the 1950s?
Yeah - I see no hovercrafts :colbert:
The kitty cornershot reminds me of Postal 2.
And guys, you can't blame him. He was in service from 1985-1995. So there would be a huge differemce when he used the guns at that time and the guns today.
Best weapon ever:

I see awesome weapons. I never see them getting used or what ever you want to call it. The minefield cleaner upper for example, how often do you come accross a minefield? And are you going to lug around and wait for the thing to come clean the minefield.
I find it funnily ironic that around a quarter of these "Future Weapons" have already seen quite a few years of use in service. (M107, F-18, the Eisenhower, LPD-17, SMAW, B-2, Apache, the Javelin and a few more)
[QUOTE=Burnyhands;18203376]I know i'm a bit late, but can I have some hearts too please? Thank you.
And yeah, my favorite thing I saw on that show has to be... The Kitty Corner shot
