Holy crap....just wanted to post in the 3 threads

Calm down, its just a fiero.

Here it is

new show to add to my hate list. poor fiero

Never liked the show and they do retarded things to guns and call it custom. Now they just iced the stupid cake with with tardberry frosting.

Here's a little tidbit on the show:
Red Jacket Firearms LLC is NOT owned by Steph or Will. William originally owned Red Jacket Firearms INC(this inc is important) but in 2009 they had their license(FFL) revoked due to some missing guns. So 3 of the employees Vince, Joe, and Charley formed Red Jacket Firearms LLC(note the LLC) and they are the owners. Steph and Will are the employees. Now Vince is leaving and his share of the company was bought out and he is forming his own company, Mesa Kinetic Research. And then as if all this craziness is not enough Red Jacket LLC is being sued by and investor claiming he isn't getting his money about he invested in the Red Jacket INC and all of the assets were then moved to Red Jacket LLC.

I guess thats one way to burn out the bushings...

****in goofs

Been there, done that.

I'm not sure that I get the point. That they can hit a fiero with that gun? That the fiero blows up when the bomb in it is hit or activated?

yup, completely stupid, but I don't watch the show.... well... because I think it is completely stupid...

I never got the point of rigging cars to blow and never bothering to mention it in the show. Sure it makes me laugh when people believe either the car is that unsafe (as to blow up when hit with small arms fire) or that the gun is that powerful. As for the show itself, I am beginning to miss the more educational channels flooding the airwaves with ghost hunting, alien and "reality" show garbage. Just look what happened to TLC...

With the Fiero, they were going to use something and I just call it coincidence. For all the cars out there, most of them have groups of fans that hate seeing them destroyed. I don't watch the show because it sucks and any dimwit can slap a bunch of tacticool crap on a rifle that has 20 rails. I did however get a great kick out of seeing the Mythbusters try and skip a Fiero across water. Better to trash a cool car doing something amazing than packing a few pounds of explosives and shooting at it.

I heard Vince packed his tools and left when he heard the blew the Fiero. LOL!

Hey this car was pulled from a junk yard and it was a base model so it was far from rare and few of us would have saved anything off it we don't already have sitting around. If anything the more of these low value clapped out cars they dispatch the less supply we have. That will help lead to higher values of the cars still in operating condition. The fact is as long as you can buy a cheap junker for $500-1000 there will be little value in our cars. No pain no gain.

Just be happy no one said these things catch fire don't they?

These jerks should be strung-up, and then shot and then have their throats cut "just in case"!

Hope it wasn't one of those 88's with the power steering prototype still intact.

i like the part where he says " well, i know its accurate..."
yeah, he doesnt know what accuracy means. i have an ar15 myself, and i can hit much tighter groups than that pinhead. what was that like 25 yrds at the target 4in group? sheesh he sucks.
i wish i could show him my paper with three bullet holes touching at 140yrds.
paid actors...
now, if it were this guy shooting up a fiero... i might be a bit more intrigued

Yea just watched it tonight. deffinitly an 84 base still had those silver 13 inch steel rims and bumper pads. I may be playing devils advocate but it was kinda funny how the hood blew open. Of all explosions ive seen i have never seen a hood do that.

I rarely watch television anymore as a result of the shift to "reality" garbage. They are in it for the money, and it shows.

The first time I decided to watch one of these firearms shows they were making a projectile knife akin to the "spetsnaz" knife using black powder. I just thought how silly it would be to hold a pipe bomb in my hand, when I could substitute it for a practical firearm that won't blow my hand off. So in all it doesn't surprise me they would pack a car with explosives and shoot it. Mythbusters is guilty, as they make a point to destroy something almost every show. However I feel Mythbusters has earned the right, as their episodes at least provide a decent amount of education content.

On topic, I'm not too concerned about someone destroying a car pulled from the junkyard. Odds are the charred and bullet riddled remains will just be returned from where it came. I'm sure there would still be a few salvageable parts, although the point was made that there is still an ample supply.

im not sure why they even have a show? american guns is much better in many ways.
