To depict the advancement of weaponry, the show combined graphics and staged scenes. A seven-member crew of designers based out of Flashback Television's London studio took four weeks per episode to create the graphics.[1] Flashback's managing director, Taylor Downing, was the executive producer of the show.[2] Hereward Pelling was the show's series producer, while Rachel Naughton was the line producer.[2][3] The show's second season consisted of 13 episodes with a running time of 60 minutes each.[2] Stuart Rose, Steve Baker and Jim Greayer served as directors of the episodes.[2]
Reception
Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that Weaponology "reminded me—starkly—that I really need to go 'around the horn' more often to discover what's on".[4] Jasmin Orr of The Courier-Mail called the show's second season premiere "a tad disturbing" when firearms experts and historians express excitement about the sniper rifle Accuracy International AS50's lethal capabilities.[5] In a negative review, The Age television critic Brad Newsome said the show had "many layers of inanity" including "fatuous narration", "ill-conceived, computer-generated 3D 'family tree' of sniping that whirls around confusingly in between segments", and "censorship of death itself".[6]
