First off, I can't stop watching Sons of Guns.
I find Will to be a bit of a jerk and a mean boss, but his gunsmith guys are fascinating. I don't like that the show portrays the guys as the stereotypes that liberals see as tattooed rednecks either, but I still can't stop watching. I like Kris and Flem and Vince.
The gun aspect is very interesting although it seems like many times Red Jacket is just copying ideas already done by others (Magpul's flashlight box/gun as an example).
I'm curious if anyone else noticed something during last night's episode where they attached a Taser to a shotgun?
I'm a bit familiar with Tasers. When they fired the Taser at Kris, it was shown in super slow motion. The bottom prong struck Kris in the neck and the top prong missed him completely and went between his head and Will's head. The prong dang near could have hit Will right in they eye!
Geez, that was a lousy shot from the Taser, even with it mounted beneath the shotgun.
The electrical discharge from the Taser needs both leads in the subject to be effective. Kris must not have received a shock by that firing of the Taser. They only showed his legs tensed and they didn't show his face. Usually when someone gets Tasered, their clenched teeth and face of agony is whats visually interesting.
The Taser has a red laser that shows where it's aimed and, even mounted below the shotgun, it should have been much easier from the proper distance to hit the right area on Kris' back. That area would have been high in his back and low in his back with the two prongs, not in his neck and then missing with the second prong.
I have heard of Tasers being mounted on orange stocked Mossberg less lethal shotguns modified to only fire beanbags rounds. The idea of pointing a standard shotgun (capable of firing live shells) at a subject for Tasering violates the rule of never point a weapon at something you don't intend to destroy.
"Oops, I just meant to Taser him, but I got confused in all the excitement and pulled the shotgun trigger by accident."
Anyway, anyone else notice that the Taser leads completely missed poor Kris?

The idea of him trying to control a black mamba, a king cobra, or a crocodile is amusing, although he has more common sense than his brother.
Again though it goes down to training....we practiced with them and after a while you can use it to ward off a non-lethal threat while still having lethal capability for the "fine-stein-a mator" lurking around the corner...
