I was very surprised. They overhauled the show. They added extra factors to each weapon, they looked at the strategies of Napoleon and Washington, and they added "x" factors into it (ie intimidation, fatigue, etc).
Honestly, I couldnt stand the first season. It resulted in me getting pissed and pacing. The Green Berets Vs the Spetznaz? Could the tests get any more BS?! Seriously, they need a control group! Or STANDARDIZED TESTING. They didnt do the same test twice!!!! Theres no way that anyone who actually wants to look at stats or compare two guns/weapons together could watch this and NOT be mad.
