Sound Signature Review 6.209 – Stealth Additive Works Tisha on the 10.3-in 5.56 MK18. What happens when high level engineering combines all the hybrid design principles we’ve been discussing on this podcast for years into a compact silencer design, and additive manufacturing makes it possible to produce? You get things like this. The incredible joy it brings us to show you things like this are possible is the best Christmas gift we could ask for. Let’s introduce today’s publication, at a high level. Also, Silencer Hazard Map Brief 8.1.7.

YouTube. Otherwise known as “the controller of all videos on the internet.” Don’t kid yourself; if you are uploading things to YouTube, they control you to the extent you let them. On a positive note, let’s discuss why that’s OK, as long as you understand the implications. (00:51:15)
