No in-depth, independent coverage provided
The sources currently cited include:
- three pieces by the show's host. While the Popular Mechanics pieces would be reliable, they are not independent.
- a podcast featuring the show's host. Not independent.
- a passing mention (which is more of a shout-out than adding new information) in an article on a commercial site. Not in-depth
I tried looking and while I found plenty of his videos hosted on Popular Mechanics, which would be reliable sources -- but didn't see anything that was in-depth or independent. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

- @WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The Vice source by itself is not enough but a couple more (especially one that's primarily and specifically about McCollum and/or Forgotten Weapons). Ian.thomson (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2019 (UTC)]
- Someone should have checked the article history more closely. Poor quality edits over time removed several references. I also added the Vice article as well as a newer in-depth one from Forbes. That's plenty. PanAndScan (talk) 05:17, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
