Riley walks us through the real world engineering trade offs of suppressing a 12 gauge pump action, the challenges of adding gyroscopic stabilization as a recoil and muzzle climb reduction system, and how working inside a major OEM shapes the way he thinks about reliability, user feedback, and the future of small bore and niche firearms design.
