You've been targeted for termination...

We're heading back to the 80s for a look at the guns of iconic actioner The Terminator - a film near and dear to Jonathan's heart. But what does he make of the movie's arsenal?

Don't forget, as an Extended Episode patron you get an extra long episode with a bunch of extra content, a week earlier than the main feed, and it's ad-free.

Jonathan Ferguson, an expert in firearms history and the Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, breaks down the weaponry of The Terminator, including the iconic .45 Longslide AMT Hardballer, the dual-wielding AR-18 and SPAS-12, and a quick word on the Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40W Range.

OK, yeah you HAVE to do Commando now.

Anthony Stefinsky

I feel like the over-the-shoulder prototype of the M82 might look better and be more cinematic than the CQB version, also maybe the 44. semi auto pistol w/ a laser might be a good fit although less modern. Otherwise I think Johnathan's "modern" Terminator load out seems very good. As always love you guys and love the work you do. Keep it up!

+1 vote for Commando, and can't wait for the T2: Judgment Day episode.

On the topic of Arnie flicks, Total recall would be a great one to cover, lot of niche guns in that one.

And I would love Desperado. I know there aren't any super interesting guns in it, but particular scene coverage would be great. Also viability of using "guitars" of various kinds (I know that some of those have been tried, just not in guitar case exactly)

2:30 and Gaz from MW1 says the same thing :D

Jonathan the gun in the bed of the pick up truck is a m-134 mini gun in a helicopter mount
