This review is from: Lock N' Load with R. Lee Ermey: The Complete Season One (DVD)

This is not some actor playing a role; Ermey is the real deal.

When this old guy spoke about some people doubting the stories of one man firing a water cooled machine gun that was supposed to take a four man crew, he made his point in a very convincing way. He walked over, picked the machine gun UP, and blazed away at the target with it.

Don't mess with Ermey.
He is for real.

And the information in Lock and Load is really great! Historical, topical, up-to-date, accurate and entertaining.
What more could anyone aski for?

Wow! If R. Lee Ermey wants to retire, sign me up! What a great job-just running around acting crazy and shooting off reallllly big boom sticks! Did I mention that he gets paid too!
The gunny- direct from History Channel's "Mail Call"- presents the first season of "Lock N' Load" complete with no commercials. This big hit from the History Channel is a must view for anyone interested in firearms and military technology.
It comes packaged in a tidy four disc unit in a format that actually does not allow the discs to fall out on the floor, an apparent technological breakthrough. Great!
Provides historical data without being boring, with animated graphics to demonstrate functions from really primitive firearms to the latest explosive delivery system.
Buy this set, and watch R. Lee blow stuff up! Enjoy.

This review is from: Lock N' Load with R. Lee Ermey: The Complete Season One (DVD)

Even though I have not bought the DVD season set, I've seen some of the shows on tv. I think they are great. Not only are they very descriptive, they are also entertaining! He goes in depth and shows slow motion and cut aways and all the stuff you would need to see in order to learn how a gun, tank or whatever he is using works. It really helped me learn about the different parts of a gun. It also is fun to watch when he tries them out. For example, in the machine gun show, he tries to cut down trees with one or shoot a letter G in a wall with another. He goes in order from the very first gun of that kind all the way to the latest. In the machine gun one he starts out with the gatling gun and ends with some rapid fire chain gun on top of a humvee. In the pistol show, he starts out with one from the 1500s where you have to crank it up every time and ends with a Glock pistol that can switch from semi-auto to auto. I think they're pretty cool and if you like guns, tanks, or anything to do with war, you'll probably like this show.
