Most sensible countries don't allow the general public ownership or access to fully operational military grade weapons and ammunition. There are certain places in the UK where under strict control military weapons and explosives can be used for demonstration or filming purposes. Ownership of deactivated or even reproduction weapons means strict rules and tons of paperwork. The whole series as much as I like it is contrived and obviously aimed at the American market. Freddie was a genuine para having fought in Afghanistan and it took some convincing to get him to tell of his experiences. What we know about Bruce's military career is zero but for some reason he does prefer wearing American airborne regiment paraphernalia rather than British. Freddie has a well earned chest full of medals which he wears on appropriate occasions but Bruce doesn't seem to have any. He's made in recent years a number of parachute drops the last of which went badly wrong and nearly killed him. I love the programme but it's best to treat it as it is, entertainment.

Are you kidding me? An operating cannon in private hands? Like everyone notes the shells are 2-3 seconds slow, the shell explosions look like a buried Forcite stick and the 'shell's fuse' is activated by striking thin plywood and cardboard? With that first round (6:47), shouldn't the 'round' have ploughed a furrow maybe deflect and hit the neighbour's pig shed (fresh bacon)? That poor Bren carrier didn't even get a blossomed hole. Still, Bruce should be awarded an Emmy for 'Special Effects'

A story of 2 Shermans. ...... My family had a country house in South Devon, high on a hill overlooking a valley. ...... About a mile and a half away lived a man who looked like an 18th century aristocrat, and had a 3 ton bronze cannon on a huge oak gun carriage. ...... It was raised from HMS Association, which sunk in a gale in 1707 off the Scilly Islands, off West Cornwall. ...... His favourite party trick was to load it with black powder and carpet wadding, and fire it. ...... Every time he did so, the windows at Cleeve would rattle, infuriating my father. ...... He was a WW2 submarine officer on HMS Torbay, in charge of the 4 inch gun used in surface actions, and no longer keen on loud bangs, having been parly deafened by them during the war. Someone offered me 2 Shermans when I was in my late teens. ...... I forget if it was £500 the pair or each, but I dreamed of mounting one each end of the terrace, and firing back! ...... My mother owned the house, and had herself served in WW in FANY, involved in French Section, Special Operations Executive - of which she said precisely nothing - I connected the dots after she died. ...... Although part of the US 29th Division had been camped in the local village in 1944, and had shot small arms on the 1908 Territorial Force rifle range in our meadows, my mother was not impressed by the idea of 2 Shermans parked on her terrace!

HE shrapnel could easily fly back at them before the camera could catch that one of their heads got decapitated. If they fired a real AP, at that angle, that round can ricochet a few miles away into only God knows where. The gun fired blanks which should be good enough for an 80 plus year old machine.

Their only advantage was reliability and there was lots of them available. Not much comfort for the crews though when a Tiger or Panther came around the corner.

This reputation for burning due to ammuniton cook-offs is sort of a nonissue- as to both German and allied studies the _M4_ burned no more frequently than the _Panther._ And in later variants, the least of any medium tank to see appreciable service. The _M4_ comparatively not that armored in comparison even to the _Panther_ with the exception of the front.
