Discovery channel just might redeem themselves in a couple of shows. This one and mythbusters. Other than that they are no better than the History channel with crap programming. I HATE THEM BOTH. THEY RUINED TV FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE. SO ALL YOU Discovery channel CEO'S F-OFF YOU SLIMY TOADS.

Let me do something to a firearm that numerous people have done before, call it one off or "custom", get my dealers license banned for life by the ATF for being a shady dealer, sound like arrogant moron every time I open my fat mouth, and maybe I can have my own TV show. #horriblescriptedconnivingidioticinbreedsnaggletoothed Can't wait till this show gets canceled!!
