Further "Red Jacket Firearms" Shenanigans

[targettarget]

On the latest "Sons Of Guns", the guys at Red Jacket installed a TASCO PRO POINT red dot on their custom Uzi build.

I'm still waiting for confirmation on whether or not Tasco products are "game changers" or not.

I think L3 knows better than to get involved with these guys.
That Tasco must have really improved 15 yard accuracy!

Oh, okay. Got ya.

Yeah, I doubt that they want any of their product on any of Red Jacket's "tier 1" firearms.

Red Jacket's "tier 1" firearms.

I had a couple of joker's at my table a few month's back saying "That's some real nice tier 1 sh!t there brother."
I almost fell down I started laughing so hard, at held it in until they walked away at least.

Did anyone else notice their "Ma-Duece" jammed every 3rd...?
...They didn't clean the prop-gun, and it jammed first shot...?
...And how the remote-gun jammed first try due to 1 of their 2 beta-mags(only) was faulty...?

Um not sure what their appeal is...

Must be their impeccable customer service...

Looks like they got in a little trouble with BATF and Will lost his license. Almost every episode I did watch (not many) they were breaking or bending the rules based on what was being shown.

Very interesting!

 

[coop44]

watched parts of two episodes now I avoid it, many things they did looked barely legal. everything else I saw looked like idiot engineering. how they stay in business amazes me.

 

[Spec.-K]

That show is a joke, but people that don't really know guns seem to like it...
And there builds aren't that creative, fairly run of the mill.
If I were to build a silenced shotty, I'd work up some subsonic yet still cycling rounds

I am no welder, but looking at some of the stuff they've 'welded' was an absolute joke. I could do better with a bucket of JB Weld!

 

[evltwn]

Gee, there are people still watching that nonsense? Once (briefly) was enough for me.

 

[coastal steelheader]

After watching the show off and on, I came to two conclusions

1) The local sheriff must have unlimited funds because it never fails that he shows up to buy a half dozen of Red Jackets latest creation
2) The local sheriff regularly confronts guys driving tanks, apc's, and attack helicopters, hence the need for all the firepower.

I believe any show that makes guns interesting to non-gun folks is a good thing. When it became like a soap opera where the stoner kid falls for the daughter it was just too much.

 

[WhyteCheddar]

Even though the show is 'crap', there is so much 'crap' on tv that it is less 'crappy' than most of the other 'crap'.
Thats my explanation.

+1 on that! I was watching a re-run yesterday and it looks like more drama is a brewin.

About a month ago i asked my mom if she had seen the show (Sons of Guns)? With a serious look she said no, why would i watch that? I have sons with guns!

My mom cracks me up sometimes.

Lefty.
