Seems they've been doing that here and there, like the couple times Rick has
gone up to Utah with Sean the weapons expert, once to look at a gatling gun,
once at a cannon or something?  Rick fired them, but the guy selling had his
own store and was trying to sell the stuff, not dump it to a pawn shop, so
you knew there wasn't going to be a deal.  Seemed like the guy in Utah had
called them up and said "hey, I have something cool, come on up, put it on
your show as advertising for me and I'll let you shoot it".

and another time Corey and Chumlee went to check out a robot that shot fire,
it was cool, but there was no way they were going to buy it.
