The video is 45:42 long, so the headline is the key piece of info. First minute and a half is the big news.

Kevin has an extensive collection of older and also rare silencers. He talked about this in his pod if you want additional info. These two teaming up should create excellent content.

He mentioned in this Q&A that he owns twenty original Maxim Silencers.

A couple of his are transferable which are super rare. I may or may not have a Maxim, if I do it’s not transferable.

That was interesting, I wasn’t aware he had done that video. Good stuff.

I love that the TL;DR keeps boiling down to "in engineering, everything is a tradeoff"

Explain that to sales teams please

I try to every day. But management thinks this would be cooler if it also had X, so we'll just have to fit it in without changing schedule, or COGS. Once we've all put in 4 straight 80+ hour weeks to hit our launch, we can have a pizza party and a beer in the caf, then get back to work on sustaining and preparing for the next release.

Lol and so true. My one deviation from sales I went into global marketing for a next gen product launch. I started at voice of the customer and left when it launched. It was an amazing education in product design and trade offs. Just for fun though after agreeing to compromises with the mechanical team and software would start their update, I would just look at them and say, no compromises, get back in your hole and bang on those keys.
