:::::Check that, 22 episodes. And if you're lucky enough to get the Military History Channel, they're on all the time, almost commercial free. (Verizon FIOS has it.) MHC is basically what the old History Channel was, you know, back when they actually did shows about history. (Back in the good old days when people called it the Hitler Channel.) The weird thing is, it looks like they're having trouble selling airtime, as there are almost no commercials, so I wonder how they can afford to keep it on the air. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 20:23, 26 August 2010 (UTC) | :::::Check that, 22 episodes.

Picture
Is the rifle on the picture a DENIX-replica? The finish looks strange somehow. --84.181.225.202 15:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Paul_Baeumer
Failure
Why were revolving rifles and shotguns never commercially successful? I heard somewhere that it was because the gas leaking from the front of the cylinder would burn the shooters support hand. This makes sense but I have never heard it confirmed. -Anonymous
- I heard it was because early powder and ball revolvers had the risk of all five or six cylinders going off at once and blowing the gun in half, and you wouldn't want your hand in front of the open cylinders. Once metallic cartridges came about, there were better options for repeating rifles. I don't remember where I heard this from, maybe Tales of the Gun? --funkychinaman 15:18, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
- I miss that show. History International reshows some of the old episodes rebranded as "Guns of the World" but they only show a few episodes over and over. -Anonymous
- They rebadged a few as Modern Marvels too. Keep in mind, there weren't that many episodes to begin with. I don't think they ever produced more than a dozen shows. --funkychinaman 16:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
