Von der historischen Kanone aus dem US-Civil War, über den Flammenwerfer aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, bis hin zur Spezialanfertigung für das SWAT-Einsatzteam: Will Hayden und seine Angestellten von „Red Jacket Firearms“ haben sich auf die Konstruktion und Restaurierung von Waffen spezialisiert. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reparieren die Maschinenschlosser und Büchsenmacher defekte Hinterlader, machen alte Sammlerstücke wieder funktionsfähig und konzipieren Spezial-Anfertigungen, die es serienmäßig nicht zu kaufen gibt, wie zum Beispiel einen Schalldämpfer für das AK-47 Sturmgewehr. Diese Dokumentationsserie zeigt die Mechaniker bei der Arbeit in ihrer Werkstatt.

It's been ten years since Red Jacket Firearms first opened its doors and Will celebrates the only way he knows how: with a seemingly impossible build. Will calls his mentor Tony Rumore who invented a Siamese: a double M16, which shares its gas tube system. Will wants to one-up Tony for fun and build a Triamese: 3 M16's joining in a triangular formation, also sharing the gas system. While Will works on the build, his daughter Stephanie plans the ultimate surprise anniversary bash for her dad, inviting some of Red Jacket's biggest clients.

Kris gets the idea to do a chromed out, 1919 machine gun with a dragon painted on it. Vince loves the idea and wants to add to it a handlebar trigger system.

And, of course, that means an invite to Baton Rouge for Paul Jr. and team to test the tricked out gun. Meanwhile, world-class speed shooter Jerry Miculek walks into Red Jacket looking to alter a Bulgarian Krink. Will shows off his integrally suppressed AK47 when Jerry challenges Will to a bet: if he can fire this AK in single fire mode faster with his finger than someone pulling the trigger on a fully automatic AK, Will owes Jerry a custom Red Jacket gun free of charge.
