@$#^#%$@^ son of a @^#^#@%*&!!!!!

now I'll never get to see it!

Thanks DScott, tonight is the season finale isn't it?

Vinnie dude, that is what VCR's are for!

it's not an airtime change.

it's the 2 hour season finale.

9PM-11PM EST

rebroadcast at midnight on 18th and 19th.

How can people get into this show? It's the WWF with firearms, nothing real about it. Not knocking the people who enjoy it, I think it is a decent concept if they could have kept it realistic.

Woohoo! they had a repeat broadcast at Midnight.  What kind of crappy mag were they using?  Misused his weapon?  I think the SEAl was ripped off.

I don't follow you?  I thought they did a good job with simulations and obstcal courses. I missed the first few episodes, but I thought the differnt evolutions they did were ok.

I agree.  It did NOT seem to me like he "abused the weapon"---the weapon was self-abusing.  The mags were POS junk and they blamed it on him to shut him up. I hope he sues them.

It's strange, for the entire series they used standard 30rd metal mags.  Last night they used some clear plastic pos mags.  

plastic magazines used:

Simunitions magazines work fine. The conversion kit is a 9mm Oly upper, made to look just like a standard M4 upper. The mag is proprietary, but works fine.

It seemed that Jeff (SEAL) was the only one with the clear mags. WTF was up with that?

Next time, they need to give them more than one mag, in case a mag fails.

Gotta admit, when an AR misfeeds, sometimes it's a bear to clear it. And yes, it's darned hard to seat a magazine if your bolt is closed; especially if it's full.

Liked the show, but disappointed to see it come down to this.

That MILES gear sucks.

If they wan'ted REALISM, use PAINTBALL markers...in fact I bet some of the better paintball temas (pro) would wipe up some these operators.....I still watch, even though I end up yelling at the TV

I think they were given the clear mags (all three had them BTW) because it was a live fire, no blanks, so the safety crew could visualy inspect.

I think the SEAL got ripped off. I think the guy that did the weapon inspection at the end was full of shit when he said "This weapon ruined." (or close to that). Or that "He wasn't seating the mag fully". From what I saw, the seal slapped the mag in fully SEVERAL times. Or when the weapon inspector opened up upper and lower and wiped his finger and said, "Look, it is filthly with brass shavings".

On hind sight, I would have hand fed a single round in at a time if it were me. Lock back bolt, point down, drop one round in, release bolt, fire. At least that way would have been able to try for the targets.

[edit]
I take back the Live fire, read the above web site. Now I don't understand why they didn't use live rounds? When they were given the weapons to test fire, they were shooting at plywood and punching holes. Wasn't that using live rounds? If so, why did they change to simunitions?
