Inspired by age-old traditions, the series brings these craftspeople together to compete against one another building the armaments that changed the course of history. Each episode, three builders compete in two historical challenges that call upon era- specific weaponry, from the firearms of the frontier to the blades of the Vikings. A former army special operations sniper will determine each weapon's velocity, accuracy, and durability in the armoury and in the field, and a panel of expert judges will score each build. With an elimination after each challenge, only one weapon smith walks away with the $10,000 cash prize.
