Host Paul Shull helps rebuild a 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft cannon, a crucial weapon that helped turn the tide of World War II.

History buff Paul Shull is on a mission to find some of the world's rarest weapons from military history. This series chronicles his journey as he locates, fixes and fires antique weapons. He gets help from a network of history-obsessed collectors, who have spent decades -- and quite a bit of money -- building up collections of militaria that rival the best around. The collectors open their doors to Shull, allowing him to experience history firsthand. On his cross-country trek, Shull fires World War II rifles, tries to restore a WWII-era Quad 50 machine gun, and attempts to locate and fire a flamethrower.

Legends & Lies: The Real West

Fox News mainstay Bill O'Reilly jumps behind the camera, serving as executive producer of this series that explores stories behind some of the most famous -- and infamous -- figures of the Old West. Each episode delves into the life of one such individual, using new interviews, archival photos and forensic science to paint a complete picture of the person. Direct descendants and historians are among the interviewees who shed light on the lives of such figures as Jesse James, Davy Crockett, Doc Holliday and "Wild" Bill Hickok. The 10-episode series is a companion to O'Reilly's book of the same name.
