Texas-based ammunition manufacturer TV Ammo, Inc. (“True Velocity”) announced today it has acquired advanced suppressor technology company Delta P Design (“Delta P”).

The strategic acquisition, approved by the True Velocity Board of Directors earlier this month, further strengthens the company’s portfolio of American-made advanced, lightweight ammunition technology and next-generation weapon systems.

True Velocity’s initial focus was on the deployment of advanced, lightweight polymer-cased ammunition solutions in the domestic and international defense markets, as well as the U.S. commercial market, but this merger with Delta P, on top of the previous acquisition of Lone Star Future Weapons in November 2021, demonstrates the company’s accelerated expansion into a growing global market for advanced weapon system technology made in the United States.

“True Velocity owns world-class ammunition technology, world-class machine gun technology and, now with the acquisition of Delta P, world-class suppressor technology,” said True Velocity President and Lone Star Future Weapons Chairman Craig Etchegoyen. “The only rule we have, when it comes to providing the very best technology to our warfighters, is that it must be American-made. With the acquisition of Delta P, we now have the ability to provide our warriors with superior ammunition, superior weapons and superior suppressors, all made here in America.”

Delta P’s innovative, American-made centerfire rifle suppressors and accessories enable enhanced weapon performance through weight, sound and flash reduction, while maintaining optimal functionality and maneuverability. It is the only suppressor technology available that has been proven to function with full reliability on machine gun platforms. True Velocity expects to optimize Delta P’s suppressor technology for military and commercial applications in conjunction with its innovative recoil mitigation technology and advanced weapon system designs. Foremost among those weapon systems is True Velocity’s forthcoming .338 Norma Lightweight Medium Machine Gun, which is the product of more than 12 years of design and development work at General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems and more than 300,000 rounds of test firing. Lone Star Future Weapons licensed this and other weapon technology from General Dynamics in 2021, prior to Lone Star being acquired by True Velocity.

“At Delta P Design we have partnered closely with True Velocity for several years to develop signature suppression solutions for their various weapon platforms,” said Delta P Design Director of Business Development David Strong. “We are excited to take this next step in our relationship, which will allow us to propagate our unique technology to users and partners worldwide. We believe that the combination of Delta P Design suppressors with True Velocity lightweight ammunition and weapon designs, will provide the U.S. military and allied nations with a critical overmatch capability, along with helping to solve many health and safety issues to the benefit of our warfighters. We are equally excited at the opportunity to bring these technologies to the civilian firearms market, where health and safety are likewise important.”

True Velocity acquired all outstanding equity interests of Springfield, Oregon-based Delta P on a cash- and debt-free basis in a reverse triangular merger. The merger is treated as a tax-free reorganization and closed in July 2023.

“We’re extremely excited to make Delta P part of the True Velocity family,” said True Velocity Chairman and Co-CEO Kevin Boscamp. “They’ve demonstrated a culture of innovation in the suppressor space that matches our standard of excellence and will only enhance our ability to take ammunition and weapon technology to the next level.”

True Velocity’s composite-cased ammunition is designed to offer extensive advantages over traditional brass-cased ammunition, including exceptional dimensional consistency, significantly enhanced accuracy, reduced heat transfer, and an approximate 30 percent reduction in weight over traditional brass-cased cartridges. The company’s advanced weapon technology offers a patented impulse-averaging recoil mitigation system and other innovative features producing improved performance and extreme precision.

Easthampton, MA: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is excited to announce that Yankee Hill Machine has increased their sponsorship to ASA’s highest Tier 1 level for 2023. They join Silencer Shop and Elevated Silence as ASA’s third Tier 1 sponsor.

“YHM is proud to be a continued partner with the American Suppressor Association,” said Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine. “They are the front lines for suppressor advocacy and they step up to the plate whenever a bill is introduced that would impede suppressor ownership. YHM and the ASA will continue to fight until civilian suppressor ownership is legalized in every state.”

“THEY ARE THE FRONT LINES FOR SUPPRESSOR ADVOCACY”

— Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine

As a third generation family business, YHM holds true to their original goal of helping those who served. Over the past 70 years, YHM has established a reputation as a world class rifle, suppressor, and accessories manufacturer, as well as a full service OEM manufacturer. They offer high-end durable products at an affordable price-without sacrificing quality.

“Chris, his brother Kevin, and the entire team at Yankee Hill Machine are devoted supporters of suppressor rights and the Second Amendment,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of ASA. “Over the years, we’ve had tremendous success working directly with YHM to help legalize suppressor ownership and their use by hunters in New England. That said, we still have a long way to go. With partners like YHM, who consistently go above and beyond, I’m confident that one day we will reach our goal of making suppressors legal in all 50 states!”

ATLANTA, GA: For $85 a year, your business can join the fight for pro-suppressor reform by becoming an American Suppressor Association (ASA) dealer member. By joining the ASA team, you can do your part to help protect and expand your right to buy and sell suppressors.

When ASA was formed, suppressors were legal to own in 39 states, and legal to hunt with in 22. As a direct result of our work, suppressors are now legal to own in 42 states, 41 of which allow their use while hunting. Our work doesn’t stop there.

When ATF tried to extend the CLEO signoff requirement to all applicants (which would have effectively banned all NFA items in most major cities), ASA beat their proposal and helped get rid of CLEO signoffs entirely. When Virginia and New Mexico tried to ban suppressors as recently as 2023, ASA was there to stop their legislative attacks. When UPS stopped shipping suppressors and when YouTube changed its policies and deleted suppressor industry accounts and videos, who do you think intervened?

At the Federal level, suppressors are once again under attack. Senator Bob Menendez Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman continue to push legislation that would ban the sale, manufacturing, transfer, and possession of suppressors nationwide. We will fight this tooth and nail to ensure their tyrannical legislation never becomes law, but we need your help!
