100% chinese made or just chinese assembled

but yeah us gov isn't going to let an adversary produce military goods for the us military

@ottovfrankfurt samsung and apple have factories established stateside just for making berry compliant phones for military use

plus there are chip manufacturers still in the US

@Cataclysmo I honestly did not know this. Apple has used pegatron heavily and even places like Texas Instruments outsources chip production to factories in China

Unless you can't get it here due to some regional restriction, it has to be made here

dunno about "how much of it" though

for the most part, it seems that companies start up factories in the US just because of it

My boss doesnt want to use chinese shit and we have found it very difficult to find good chip fabrication stateside. So much so that we looked into doing it ourselves

Chinks have been buying bankrupt HS factories for awhile now

@ottovfrankfurtwhat is japan

@Festive would still not be made in US tho but fair point

I thought it just couldnt be made in china

Lots of companies jusy go to Puerto Rico tho

😂

tbh I wish more companies used Guam

or virgin goods were made in the US Virgin Islands

Then we will truly find out if the people from Guam are called Guamish or Guamanian

Anyways if $300 is too much of a price shock

Sordins exist

@Festive for US govt/mil idk i assume it has to be US but always doubted that given how much US stuff uses chinese made materials. For our company it was implied made in US, china was just the example. I didnt clarify tho.

But most of them are LEMO so you'll have to splice to get a NATO or whatever

sordins are cringe, bro

You have sordins

🤔

@ottovfrankfurt well ive noticed a lot of times when it says USA it just means its is assembled here

yeah

I do

thats how I know they're cringe

@Festive exactly which is misleading but it gives them the ability to slap a “Made in USA” marketing label on it which drastically increases its market price even though is basically a lie.

Do you not like yours

Exactly

the audio quality is good but they don't work well with lowcut helmets, and they can't arc rail mount without an adapter

and for the cost of the adapter, can just sell and upgrade to comtacs

🤔

Sound like your helmet is too small

it's a size large

Ok xl

do they even make XLs

P sure

I'm still salty that howard leights fit perfectly while my sordins don't
