They made a vid about buttons:

If it’s reliable and works as intended, seems like a nice addition.

A new suppressor they call the Bravo Delta Echo:
The most annoying music on earth award goes to them for this video.
Really cool that it’s 3d printed from titanium. I’m not going to repeat any of the specs here for no reason, so if you’re interested you can head over to their site and check it out.
They say that interesting texture on the outside dissipates heat mirage.
I can hardly wait for metal 3d printers to come down in price so some of my favorite 3D2A YouTube fells can afford them.

COMMENT
Recoil wrote a really nice article on the history of how silencers went from being ubiquitous and loved to being feared and vilified. Definitely worth reading.
Well done series, amazing quality. Crank it up to 5k on YouTube if your monitor / connection allows it:
Silencerco has been about it content-wise for quite a while now. You really can’t beat this type of content marketing, where you basically forget that you’re being advertised to.
Note: Interesting.. the Silencerco website appears to be down (or I’m blocked from it for some reason haha). Cloudfare Error 1020 “This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks”. I’m going to check back on this later. I’m always intrigued when big companies have downtime. I guess most of Silencerco’s business is done offline, but it’s still not great to have the website completely unreachable for any extended period of time in this day and age.

COMMENTHoly that’s a lot of expensive equipment:
Question for you guys… right now who is THE “BEST” suppressor manufacturer of the moment? Are the db numbers coming out of anyones new cans startlingly better than the other companies in the industry? I ask this because from my perspective no one is excessively bragging about numbers right now, and seemingly no one is really marketing silencers too hard right now either. That makes me think that the industry is kind of stagnant, but I could be wrong.
I always think that manufacturing things is a lot easier, and less hands-on than it actually is. I wonder how the 3d printed Daniel Defense silencer is doing for them? I thought that was really cool, not only from a novelty perspective but also because of the simple fact you take a lot of these machines out of the equation and replace it with a couple smaller and potentially less expensive ones.
You can read more about the SilencerCo OCTANE 45 here if you care.

COMMENTVery cool video, but my eyes rolled into the back of my head during the gunpology:
After reading the YouTube comments, I feel like I went full “basic bitch” in commenting on him issuing that Gunpology… literally that’s what most of the comments that I scrolled through were about. 😭
4:50 – Man the worst thing YouTube did was take the ad money away from these guys. Now rather than some relevant ad being shown to me for something I was probably going to buy anyways, I have to listen to him push some food subscription service.
I kind of wish he would have used the opportunity to troll people by saying we should be calling them suppressors and NOT silencers, because they suppress the sound and don’t silence it like in the movies. Then people would absolutely lose their shit in the comments like “ARRRRRRRGHHHHH Hiram Percy Maxim invented the silencer and he called them silencers so ya I think HE would know.
