Future Weapons was a Discovery Channel pop-science documentary show that ran for three seasons from 2006-2008. The show was presented by the late Richard "Mack" Machowicz and featured demonstrations of advanced weapons and period prototypes (including handheld weapons, mounted weapons, and military vehicles) coupled to what were often extremely optimistic claims about their performance. Many of the featured projects would later be canceled.

Season 1
