'''''Weapon Masters''''' is a television show that was premiered on the [[Discovery Channel]] on December 31, 2007, and on the [[Military Channel]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/weapon-masters/295917 | title=Weapon Masters | work=TV Guide | access-date=March 10, 2014}}</ref>

The hosts, Chad Houseknecht and [[Mike Loades]], a weapons historian, choose a different historical weapon each week. While Loades explores its history — often traveling to the country from which it came to interview modern practitioners — Houseknecht capers about, gibbering and gurning, while attempting to improve on it using modern technology (for example, a [[pneumatic]] device was added to a [[blowgun]] in one episode). At the end of each episode a challenge test of the new version is held.
