Future Weapons

Richard MackRichard Machowicz, the host of The Military Channel’s Future Weapons, probably has the best job on the planet. I mean, after 10 years in the Navy SEALS he probably got bored with all the intense training and bad ass weapons right? I guess not. Now he gets to enjoy augmented civilian status as he still has access to top secret facilities and weapons technology, which he proudly displays with cold precision on his Military/Discovery Channel show Future Weapons. Basically, “Mack” is our hero here at Future Firepower. Its not like he has a show where he just narrates while soldiers shoot all the guns and show off, he actually gets to get into the tanks and drive them, pick up the brand new machine gun prototype and unload as many clips as he wants; and he does it all with perfectly honed form and skill. Probably the best moment was when Mack competed against a US soldier in a cold-bore sniper rifle competition, and Mack out shot the soldier with a perfect headshot with the 1st round. Obviously, he has extreme weapons training. It’s been a long time coming that Discovery Networks finally launched the Military Channel, and it was long enough that they finally came out with Future Weapons. Richard Machowicz 2Discovery Networks has always been very respectfully patriotic, and they have also done a good job keeping up with the times by gradually increasing their military-related broadcasting. I remember as a child the best show that I could find was Wings on the regular discovery channel. I guess they could tell that I watched it all day long, and made the military channel with robust programming just for me. Now all the Military Channel needs to do is quit showing so many reruns and kick their production engine into high gear. They need to have a million different shows with a million different weapons, hell, they should just start inventing weapons. Long live the military channel, the embodiment of my inspiration for this humble website, FutureFirepower.com.

Mack is also the author of a book: Unleashing the Warrior Within, and also founder of the Bukido Institute.

  3. thank you bringing the exciting, and brillance of technology the way our striving brains have always wanted it. ecspecially the the new reborn gatlin machine gun… I think it is most impessive fire power I’ve ever witnessed.

  4. Richard i luv your show, and my question is. Can u make a show or part with the B-52, beacuse i luv that plane

  5. mack ruins the show with his action-movie behavior and actions. i want to learn about the newest weapons, not hear about the “new sherrif in town” while mack hunkers down and whispers as if hes on another top secret mission.

  6. hello im a good fan of the show,but i always wanted to submit idea’s.i dont know if they been made or not but i will list them for you.i had dreams of submarines that launch aircrafts from under the water, another was dog tag necklaces that dont allow grenades to blow up with in certain perimeters of soldiers being in that area, another is a freeze cloud, a freeze cloud allows anything in the path of a enemy freeze also can be used for air combat devices.what is the schedule week days for the show.

  7. I like the idea about the dog tags with some kind of radio signal to detect if friendlies were within the danger radius.

    They have a crazy video on Youtube where an aircraft is launched from a submarine. Obviously it is fake, but interesting to watch nonetheless.

  8. hi, i just say those missles and battleships, well… it really awesome,indeed. I think i’ve rather need a look for more weapons the soldiers need. And that explosives are way to crazy.
