walshie Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I watched American Guns the other night where they made some guy a punt gun. Is it just me or does $10k seem an awful lot of money for an 8ft length of pipe threaded and capped? And how are WW2 bomber graphics anything to do with punt gunning? I'm sure the vehicle it was mounted on was worth half that, but he didn't ask for a buggy, he asked for a punt gun and they did spectacularly well in making it look nothing like the picture, let alone the quality. Oh, and who wants to give that "workshop manager" a slap? And the fat one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antuk99 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yes I agree wish I could charge for stuff like that did you see the stock before they cut it off being a joiner I'm sure my lad could build a better stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Missed it this week,but a mate said how ridiculous it was.Did the ducks 'explode' when shot;everything else seems to. There's never any footage of the fat bloke being winched out of the workshop,but we see him on the surface now and then. On the plus side,I believe Paige was looking perky.

walshie Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm saying nothing about Paige. I hear her dad owns a gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Paige always looks good!!I did love those pair of 1911 Pistols in that beautiful presentation case though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 What a gross repro punt gun , more like a +*nt gun . I try to cut them a bit of slack as it is an entertainment program but the product was just ugly and stupid . So was the presenting of the Colt , cringeworthy . Still not missed an episode saying that . At least they do not profess to have invented Hushpower guns . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboro shot Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 have to agree punt gun was tat but on the other side of the coin the 1911 they made looked really nice like with all these discovery programes i suppose they have to try and attract a wider audeince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I agree with "Vole" the presentation of the Colt 1911 was awful to say the least!OTT! I love the programme on the basis of seeing all the beautiful guns apart from the Punt Gun of course,and not forgetting the gorgeous Paige!!

Scaffold tube mounted on a fence post is what I would describe that as, paint job :blink: speaks for itself.. 1911 was decent though.......

HDAV Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think it's gone a bit too "pimp my ride" would live to know who actually pays the bill and I think the would struggle with proofing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
