RJF divides into two teams: Team Max and Team Will. Team Max builds with the civilian in mind - small and lightweight, with plentiful ammo. Team Will builds with the military in mind - big bangs and full auto mass destruction. Both guns are put to the test when the teams meet up in the woods for a nighttime zombie apocalypse shootout. And while Will and team are knee-deep in their zombie gun builds, a Lewis Gun (a World War I era machine gun) comes into the shop for repair. Will tasks Steph with the project.
