History Channel: Tales of the Gun series

[Excalibur]

If no one has ever heard of this show, I highly recommend it. It's a very detailed show about the history of guns, famous brands etc. I wish the History Channel revived this show


This is one of my favorite episode

I saw many of these when they first ran the series, I liked it and learned a lot. Would definitely like to rewatch some episodes.

I check Netflix once a week hoping it will show up but so far no luck. The NRA used to offer them on their website.

Youtube has a lot of them uploaded

What is weird is that the DVD collection doesn't have Guns of the Commando and Guns of the Orient.

I went thru all of youtube and pulled all the videos I can and made a playlist for all INGO'ers viewing pleasure.

I could not find anyone who had loaded the "Guns of the Orient" or "Guns of Japan". I am suspecting that may be the same one, but I could be wrong since I have never seen any of these. Enjoy! I sure will!

EDIT: I cannot get this playlist to embed. If someone could tell me how to do that, I would prefer to keep it simple for everyone.

I loved that show! I remember being in middle school and memorizing the beginning quote. Yeah Im a young(er) guy

I wish the History Channel revived this show

Agreed!

I wish the History Channel would go back to history shows, instead of pawn and reality shows.

 

[Excalibur]

I know, there's REAL history in each episode. You don't just learn about the history of guns but the history of the world and how guns affect it!

 

[TomN]

Agreed!

I wish the History Channel would go back to history shows, instead of pawn and reality shows.

Amen!

 

[lowendgenerator]

I think most of the episodes, if not all of them, are available in full on YouTube.

 

[Excalibur]

I've learned so much about just the mentality of the people behind the gun designs and the countries that use the guns. Guns of the Japanese military is another favorite of mine.

I remember watching these when they came out, great show.

They really need more like these to come out where they just have history behind them and no drama/reality show things.

Great show! Definitely wish there was still more of that kind of programming. Or even better, an all firearms network. Wouldn't that just drive some people crazy!

I've been watching Gun Stories on the Outdoor Channel on Wednesday nights. I think they're in their second season. Not bad. Outdoor Channel has several gun shows on Wednesday nights.

My cable network has something called NBC Sports Network channel. They have been carrying Gun Talk and Guns & Gear. Both pretty good.

 

[Excalibur]

We definitely need more gun shows and I don't mean more Sons of guns or American guns

Thanks for posting that, it was great seeing John Milius talk about guns so passionately. Milius is one of my favorite filmmakers. He's written so many classic scenes in movies (the USS Indianapolis scene in Jaws, Dirty Harry's "You feel lucky, punk?", and "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning..." from Apocalypse Now to name just a few), and directed some great ones as well (The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean is a forgotten classic, Conan, etc.).

He's a huge firearm collector, history buff, and knows his stuff. I'll have to be on the lookout for the rest of this series to see if he contributes in those as well.

Hey! I like "Pawn Stars" I do agree they should do more history related shows too.

 

[donnie1581]

Agreed!

I wish the History Channel would go back to history shows, instead of pawn and reality shows.

Definitely agree with you on this!
