## Resource

This week, Tim Hoffman from Hoffman Tactical – the guy behind the Super Safety, the Orca printed AR, and a bunch of other projects, sits down with Nathan and B.R. They talk about how Hoffman Tactical got started, the full story of the Super Safety (where the idea came from and what it actually changed in the community), what we actually know about the Twin Bros raid tied to Super Safety parts, and the strange situation with other people trying to patent his open-source design. B.R. also gets Tim talking about his hot-air balloon and airship projects, including the one he built himself and why he thinks airships deserve another shot. All that and much more!
