The Weapon Hunter

Most documentaries about weapons are very dry. This man who oozes love for the subject shows you how the weapons worked under battlefield conditions and also visits some really stunning private collections.

I'm not a gun nut as such but I have a great interest in military history and this show certainly brings it to life.

I really hope there is a season 3.

Brilliant idea for a TV. Most likely watched and enjoyed by military folks currently serving and retired. The part I personally do not enjoy, is the host's over reacting to all and every situation he is in. I get it, it's for TV, but it getting ridiculous. Please stop the over acting and it will be a hit. The theme is great, the acting not so good. Just my opinion. (Ret) MSG MJK USARNG

He's talks too much and is an idiot. He should sell Shamu's or oxyclean products...

I have to respond to the two negative reviews here. I think Paul has done an amazing thing, not being a historian or a TV personality he managed to pitch and have a TV show produced and broadcast for two season. His passion for his subject matter is authentic and sets his show apart from others.

BTW, he is not some gun lovin' redneck, he is in fact Canadian! Which a simple Wiki search or observing the Canada Telefilm funding emblem at the end credits would have easily revealed.

Follow the journey of Paul Shull as he travels the continent in search of collectors and armaments in order to interact with them. His enthusiasm for the arms is tempered with a combination of fear and respect - the respect also extending to past soldiers (or Cops) who, on the business end of that fear, had to perform their duty. Emotions may also extend to other victims of such weapons such as the flame thrower. The need to use such things is a tragedy unto itself.

A complex show emotionally, despite the 'Idiot who loves guns' label that some may apply to it. Unfortunately, that may be its undoing. With 200 channels to chose from, It's the label that keeps the complex individuals away ... and the Neanderthals want to see more people with Southern accents doing stupid s*** and blowing stuff up.
