  • The Colt C7 assault rifle, used in the Gulf War, Rwanda and Afghanistan, starts off as a seven-pound bar of solid steel.

  • Used by military operatives, drug enforcement agents and first responders, lightweight aluminum is forged into the frame of a personal flying machine.

  • The AX-338 Sniper Rifle, the most accurate weapon on earth, is formed from a block of metal in 48 hours.

  • Through snow, sand, or water, the armored amphibious personnel carrier Viking BVS10 can get troops in and out of any combat zone; a steel plated hull becomes fitted with controls and tracks.

  • Up until the mid-1990s, helmets hadn't evolved far from World War I, until a series of delicate, snowflake-shaped sheets of Aramid were pressed together to form a piece of headgear comfortable enough to wear and tough enough to take a bullet.

  • A must-see look at the manufacturing wizardry behind pistols, fire trucks, ghillie suits and armored fighting vehicles; with troops' lives on the line, there is no margin for error.
