I'd never seen this show before and bought it on a whim cause I love military documentaries. What a treat; it was WAY better than I expected and a bargain. I also liked how they start at the modern evolvement of different weapons and trace the history and different componenets that go into bringing it about. If you've ever seen the show "Connections" on PBS you'll recognize the presentation format and really like it. I'd give this a show 10 stars if it was an option.

Very good, informative series. Only thing I fault is the editing, which includes referring to .30 caliber machine guns as 30 mm weapons, .50 caliber as 50 mm weapons, and on at least one occasion referring to the 7.62 (.30 caliber) M60 as a 60mm machine gun. I would think a series of this type would have somebody editing it that would know the difference between inch and metric calibers.

My father is a history and military buff. I got him this for Father's Day. He loved it. Huge hit.

Excellent source of history on the development of several types of weapon systems. Traces the early forms and the more advanced types of many weapons from rifles to artillary and even aircraft. Very useful for military history students.

This video was more informative than I thought! Some thing I kiind of look for in these kinds of videos. Excellent!!
