I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is to explore the endless number of unique channels streaming free to my Smart TV. For those of you who have managed to avoid purchasing a Smart TV in the past few years, let me get you up to speed. All (or almost all?) new televisions come with a selection of free television content you can watch with only an internet connection. For the most part, these free channels consist of old, binge-worthy programming made available to them for the advertising revenue. If you look deep enough, you’ll find a steady stream of high quality content worthy of your viewing.

Recently while perusing my selection of channels, I discovered the program Hollywood Weapons: Fact or Fiction? and, being the fan of weapons content that I am, I was hooked.

One of the show's most riveting aspects is its dedication to debunking Hollywood's wildest firearm myths.

Even though the show largely focuses on the gun related myths of Hollywood, they do explore the famous movies blades we all love. The “Hollywood Weapons” spends Episode 4 of Season 5 examining the iconic William Wallace claymore sword while they also build a trebuchet, a massive, wooden ranged weapon that just may come into play in Season 10 of Forged in Fire.
