DISCOVERY CHANNEL TONITE

[bogey1]

did anybody see future weapons tonite on discovery channel with that bald asshole shooting a hk after it was dumped in sand and water? did you notice anything odd?" (or stupid)

Thats the HK-416 upper...

But I have to confess that the only thing odd that I noticed is how much Macowitz talks about how cool he is.

What did I miss?

Last thread in this forum about that show was in favor of it and talked about how cool he was. I got royally flamed for mentioning that I thought he was a weenie. "XTREEEEME!!!!!!"

Glad I'm not alone now.

Euro-weenie!

They can flame all they want.

I like the show for the weapons part. You get to see some real cool shtuff. I liked the demo of the SMAW-NE tonight. WOW! Good weapon for our USMC.

I just mute it when he talks. If you watch his facial expressions you can tell the difference between when he is giving you cool info about the gun/warhead/platform and when he is reveling in the old day of his Ten Years as a Navy SEAL. I don't doubt that he was a SEAL, I don't doubt that he's a hard man, I wouldn't even doubt that he may have seen some classified combat..... but the best Special Operations guys I have met have been humble about what they do. Most through confidence and some through practicality (as in they couldn't talk about what they did because it was classified.)

Now - what did I miss bogey??

The host's pattern and tone of speech is like steven segal. It pisses me off so i don't watch the show.

Then i'd watch it. In fact, i can think of a whole bunch of people that would make better hosts than the current one....ben bailey from cash cab for instance.
