What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here. Nick Lofenberg is across the table from

0:04.3

Mark and I and we're gonna talk about custom ballistic turrets and this is a topic

0:10.6

that we get a lot of questions on, not even necessarily for a

0:13.3

podcast, but we just get people calling in for this all the time asking where

in general because maybe it's something you've heard about and you're unfamiliar

1:05.8

1:12.7

What's the, you know, do you use one, all this?

1:15.7

And the fact of the matter is a lot of us actually use them.
