Lock N’ Load Debuts Tonight on History

History comes to life as R. Lee “Gunny” Ermey leads viewers

on a fascinating ride through the engineering and development of weapons in the new

one-hour series, LOCK N’ LOAD with R. Lee Ermey , premiering Friday, July 31 at

9pm ET on HISTORY.

Get hands-on with some of the world’s fiercest firearms, including machine guns, tanks,

pistols and rockets, as Gunnery Sergeant, drill instructor, Vietnam veteran, actor and

former MAIL CALL host R. Lee Ermey demonstrates the weapons that made battlefield

history. For example, Ermey unleashes a torrent of ammo using a Dillon Aero Minigun,

which shoots three thousand rounds per minute, and then traces the evolutionary steps

that brought the gun to its present place in history.

In each episode of LOCK N’ LOAD with R. Lee Ermey, special high-speed

photography gives viewers an unprecedented look at the inner workings of a particular

weapon – how it works and what really happens at the point of impact. Advanced 3D

graphics help to detail the improvements, changes in technology and thinking behind

each weapon, while experts flesh out the engineering and history involved.

It’s an enthralling ride through the evolution, origins, innovations, victories and defeats
