Gunny enthusiastically follows the development of American tanks and tank destroyers from the World War I design donated by France to the M1 Abrahms in service today. Of course he provides his own special spin (and language) as he demonstrates the maneuverability and firepower of each model.

Gunny gets up close and personal because in this episode he follows the development of the pistol starting with the muzzle loaders in 1500. And for some of these guns, like the duck foot pistol, you've got to get in close because the range in only 10 feet and Gunny's not that great a shot anyway.

Gunny spends a lot of time riding shotgun, or rather machine gun, in armored cars and fighting vehicles built between World War Two and today at the expense of a car or two. He also does some off roading in a German half track, an M-901, a Bradley and even a brand new MRAP and Stryker.

Hitting a target with a rocket is tough as Gunny finds out trying to hit a target with a replica of an ancient Chinese rocket. He has better luck and more fun with a Korean hwacha then finally gets his accuracy down with a Swedish AT4. But it's the MLRS that really gets him excited.

With so many machine guns in service Gunny can't resist getting his hands on some more of them. He tries out no less than a dozen form the very first true machine gun, the "potato digger", up to the current models. That means shooting a lot of rounds to kill a bunch of cinder block walls, piles of watermelons, potatoes, food cans and balloons and an aerial drone or three.
