Military Channel to Launch New Firearms Series

SILVER SPRING: The Military Channel’s new six-part series Triggers: Weapons that Changed the World, hosted by former Army Ranger and Air Force Pararescueman Wil Willis, examines the evolution of firearms.

With access to the top firearms collections in the world, Willis is joined by historical and technical experts in each episode to test a series of iconic firearms and examine what made each one unique from competitors in its class. The series, which is to premiere November 30, is produced by MorningStar Entertainment for Military Channel.

"As an expert on weaponry, coupled with his inside knowledge of the military, Wil Willis brings unique insight into how the development of each of these weapons has changed history forever," said Ed Hersh, the senior VP of content strategy for Military Channel. "Triggers allows our viewers to get up close and personal with powerful and historical weapons they might not have the opportunity to otherwise explore."
