On Monday, Discovery Channel airs it's new three-part series Weaponizers. I thought this might be something your readers would love.
The series pits two teams of master builders against each other, as they turn ordinary vehicles into remote-controlled machines of destruction. With the pace and intensity of a video game, vehicles are completed with live-ammunition machine guns and other seemingly ordinary objects that are transformed into powerful weapons.

DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S NEW SERIES 'WEAPONIZERS" PREMIERES MONDAY, MAY 11
From the producers of MYTHBUSTERS comes an explosive new three-part series, WEAPONIZERS, premiering on Discovery Channel, Monday, May 11 at 9PM and Monday, May 18 at 8PM and 9PM ET/PT.
WEAPONIZERS pits two teams of master builders against each other, as they turn ordinary vehicles into remote-controlled machines of destruction. With the pace and intensity of a video game, vehicles are completed with live-ammunition machine guns and other seemingly ordinary objects that are transformed into powerful weapons.
In each episode, the teams convert regular rides such as a shuttle bus, an ice cream van and muscle cars into vicious vehicles.
Once all testing is complete, each team descends into respective underground control bunkers to command their vehicles for a two-round competition. In round one, the teams undertake a challenge-based phase where the vehicles race to destroy or defend exploding targets such as medieval castles or Mad Max style fuel depots. Then in round two, the Weaponizers are thrown into a Carmageddon Round where the rules are... there are no rules. It's a gloves off test of what expertise these teams can draw on to achieve victory, which in WEAPONIZERS' terms means there is only one vehicle left standing!

For the big kids in all of us, I can remember when we use to fantasize about making the remote controlled weapons systems, that could reak havoc and mayhem without putting our troops in harms way, this show seems right up our alley.
