A good series for those interested in weapons and their history. Ermey presents the history in a straightforward manner, talking about the improvements in technology that advanced each weapon system.
But it's not dry at all...Plenty of shooting and often the target is Ermey's trademark watermelons!

The second episode was on artillery, and they had some nice stuff on the care and feeding of muzzle-loading cannon, and a firing model of the 1800s breech-loading "one-pounder" that was the first to incorporate a recoil-absorbing system.

I've been watching it too... great show! The Gunny certainly has enthusiasm, and he really makes the show interesting. So far I've seen the Artillery, Tanks, Machine Guns, and Pistols episodes.

As far as I'm concerned, that man has the best job ever. He gets to go plinking with everything--up to and including cannons--and he gets paid to do it.

I especially found the wheel-lock pistol absolutely fascinating.
