I feel as if this guy, Derek, in fact likes to kick hippies
I always love it when a company launches a presser announcing something ridiculous like “The Worlds Leading Silencer company” Interesting statement and also completely untrue. Gem tech is the world leader based on what metric? Maybe Derek’s first order of business can be to pump some humility into the marketing team.
Derek add humility? Worlds biggest morale patch collector. From a pawn shop to a scope company to a suppressor shop to another suppressor shop, boy gets around for not being anything.
Congrats Derek
