Cable TV Shows of interest

I have read here and see that there are many interesting shows on tactical weapons, military etc. and I thought that we might list them here with the show name, channel and times so that we can subscribe to them. I have ComCast and can’t seem to figure out how to find these shows. Thanks!

“Lock And Load with R. Lee Ermey” is on History Channel right now.

Watching it right now, much better than future weapons with that wispering deuche nozzle they have for a host.

I’m watching it too. I’ve been waiting for it all week and it was worth it. I want me the MK-12 Feild Artillery peice, for deer hunting ofcourse.:DI’m liking it better than Mail Call, though that was good too. But really I don’t care about C-rations, this show is nothing but things that go BANG!!

Military channel, starting 13 August.

Special ops Mission.

This is the second time I have seen him called a douche nozzle. Any reason for this? The douche nozzle part…

Power of an M-16. Accuracy of a sniper rifle. One hit from this, and it’s all over!

I realize hes a tremendous cock mongrel, I was just wondering if there was some inside joke in reference to “douchenozzle”. :smiley:

Its just another derogatory comment…

Did he just say ‘Dick weed’ ??

lol

Wow that high speed photography on the artillery was cool.

Oh man I missed it!!! Was a little busy this evening. They played mail call all day. My wife was all excited as we caught the Main Call on B52s at Minot AFB which she was stationed at.

Are we are talking about Richard Machowicz here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Machowicz What garnered him so much internet hate?

Because he’s a douchenozzle, obviously. :stuck_out_tongue:

That mini gun with the Eotech on top tore that Thunderbird to shreds. I really need to get the chance to do that one day.

I somehow missed this part. :frowning:

I thought that was pretty cool when I saw the EOTech too. You would think that with as much $ as it costs to manufacture that system it would have some high dollar and proprietary target acquisition system but it would make sense that the EOTech is pretty simple to use and known by most of the soldiers.

I don’t have cable, so I’m S-O-L:(:mad:

are there any good show’s of this type on DVD worth getting ? I know FW is, but never got around to getting it.

but I’ve seen pics of him in multicam, he can’t be that bad;):D:p

I’m sure he is a perfectly reasonable human being, and could probably snap me in half like a twig, But as a host of a TV show, he seems a little too sensationalistic, while overdoing the talk softly/carry a big stick routine. It just seems like he is putting on too much of a facade. If he isn’t then the douchenozzle comment stands.:stuck_out_tongue:

I believe "Mack " is an ex seal if I remeber correctly. Saw a show on him shooting the chey-tac rifle and I think he said something about being a seal sniper. Lock n load is good stuff.

I am sure he is playing it up for the camera / show

From the Wikipedia:

Richard “Mack” Machowicz, former operator, is the host of the Discovery Channel show Future Weapons. According to the show’s introduction, he spent ten years as a U.S. Navy SEAL and now searches for weapons of the future. Mack drives a large variety of vehicles, often with off-road capability, to get to his show’s destinations. He is also proficient in many martial arts.

According to his biography on the Discovery Channel’s site,[1] “he participated in numerous tactical operations with SEAL Team ONE and TWO. While at SEAL Team TWO he was attached to the training cadre as the Leading Petty Officer of Land, Mountain and Arctic Warfare.” He also has over 20 years of experience with muay thai boxing, Jeet Kune Do, kickboxing, aikido, jujutsu, savate, arnis and karate. He was a certified instructor in the Naval Special Warfare Combat Fighting Instructor Course, as well as a Naval Special Warfare Scout/Sniper. He founded the Bukido Institute, as well as the Bukido Training System, which “teaches a performance philosophy that uses unarmed combat as a pathway for exploring the dynamics of doubt, hesitation, second-guessing, stress, pain, fatigue and fear.”

Like I said, I was unsure why he was garnering the internet love / hate.
