"from Flintlock to Rifle"

Travel back in time to uncover the secrets of historical firearms masters!

Gunny's back — Marine Corps veteran R. Lee Ermey, acclaimed for his role as a Marine Drill Instructor in the movie Full Metal Jacket, previously hosted the popular "Mail Call" show on the History Channel. He now returns in Lock N' Load, an hour-long weekly series featuring the engineering and development of military weapons. The focus of Lock N' Load is firepower — and lots of it.

In the centuries since the gun was invented, hundreds of innovators, engineers and inventors have brought their vision together to create what has become one of the most perfectly produced items ever made. This TALES OF THE GUN COLLECTORS SET chronicles the long history of firearm design and construction from the first, primitive weapons to today's computer-controlled, high-tech factories.

This gripping series shows how some of history's deadliest weapons were used and how the shaped major events. Through a series of modern experiments, viewers get a close look at the effects of blades and bullets on the human body.
