Battle Factory

`Battle Factory' documents operations in discreet military factories around the world. It's where weapons of war are manufactured, producing everything from machine guns to tanks. Accuracy is paramount when engineering instruments designed to destroy, as it could mean the difference between life and death for the intended user. Episodes show how a seven-pound bar of solid steel is transformed into an assault rifle used by soldiers globally. In Andover, in the UK, bomb suits are constructed out of hard plastics and bulletproof fabrics, and elsewhere PVC panels on boats are filled with air to make hovercrafts.
