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

expedition-backpackHISTORY™ presents the television event of the summer: EXPEDITION AFRICA: STANLEY & LIVINGSTON.
Watch the series premiere May 31 at 10pm/9c. Twenty miles off the coast of eastern Africa, four modern-day explorers are sailing toward the unknown, the deep interior of Tanzania. They’ll travel over 900 miles through African terrain that is as stunning as it is fraught with danger. Using only a compass and basic maps, they will attempt to recapture the spirit of one of the world’s most remarkable adventures—journalist Henry Morton Stanley’s perilous 1871 journey to find Dr. David Livingstone. Their historic exploration has been captured by one of the premiere storytellers of our time, Mark Burnett. This is not a competition or a game. It’s a real-life adventure. Join other fans on Facebook, follow History on Twitter, and  visit the official site.


Enter To Win an Explorer’s Prize Pack featuring:
–History Channel Laptop Backpack
–Expedition Branded 35mm Disposable Camera & Photo Album
