Never in the history of firearms has there been so much change in public perception and laws governing use and ownership and its taken only one generation. This is our story from an Australian perspective.

Before this generations expertise fades away, we capture firsthand experiences. Indeed, the essence of what it was like to grow up uninhibited by the present 21st century restrictions.

This documentary brings a personal, human side to firearms by enthusiasts familiar with all the historical and technical knowhow.

Description

Every subject has a starting point. A point from which built upon knowledge germinates new ideas. We present an Australian account from experts in all basic fields.

Guns were not just a weapon, but status symbols that impacted human society for centuries.

Our timeline follows the huge part firearms played in the evolution of humans and the conquest of nations.

An explosive mechanism to shape future empires and protect our shores.

A coincidental tool for development. Used to find food, fight crime and self-defence; Firearms are an extension of human behaviour and only as good as the operator.

This documentary delves into the finer technical and historical aspects by users and hobbyists who appreciate the engineering skills that developed crude black powder into the precision of our iconic long-distance cartridge 303 rifle.

Centre focus is on black powder muzzleloading 1800s firearms through to the present-day farm and 303 war rifles.

We aim to succinctly explain terminology from gun to carbine to rifle and more.

People make the weapons, people make the resulting history, and it is real firsthand knowledge from people we have here in person to explain the history, the how’s and whys involving down to earth firearms.

To reveal a shooters perspective and ask the questions that sometimes demonise our way of life. To explain the reason why and admire engineering precision that is the firearm.

This is a limited release. Part one over 110 minutes. Part two to be released early 2025.
