I think a Box O' Truth type show would be good. Blow things up AND show the relative terminal ballistics of various rounds.

They caught a bit of that at the B-Bash , but it was kinda hit or miss , if you know what I mean

Yeah, debunking the "assault rifles spew out bullets 100 times more deadly than what you hunt deer with" would be nice to see for a change. A block of whatever exploding with a 7mm magnum HP versus a 7.62X39 FMJ round punching smaller holes should be a good contrast.

Speaking of AK myths, the most prevalent one among Vietnam Vets I've met seems to be that the AK was designed to shoot our .308 M14 ammo but the M14 couldn't shoot the AK ammo. This supposedly allowed them to shoot any captured ammo but their ammo was useless to us.

How about an ep showing "behind the scenes" of the new RedJacket "Girlz and guns" calender shoot?

For a chance to be on TV, I would think most of them would do it for free.

I want your autograph.
O.K. Will I am trying to think here. Hmmm. For sure the myths and realities of the suppressor to start.
Hay. How about blowing stuff up.
Do tracers have a different trajectory than regular rounds?
What caliber and range can the bullet proof jackets the guys are using in the Sand Box stop.?
How scopes on weapons have evolved over the years?
Myth Busters did a show on shooting a bullets straight up in the air. Myth busted. They set up sheets in the desert. Took a lot of shots. But the bullet coming down would not even penetrate a sheet.
Get a plane and drop different caliber bullets from like 4 thousand feet onto big targets. See what happens.
I'm thinking I'm thinking. Come on guys help Will.
