LIVE Q OR DIE

About Q

Live Q or Die was founded in 2016 by Kevin Brittingham, a highly influential figure in the firearms suppressor industry. Brittingham previously founded Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC) at age 19, which he grew for 16 years before selling to Remington Arms Company in late 2009.

After departing AAC, he worked at SIG Sauer USA heading their Suppressor Division, where some of their suppressors became standard issue with the new US Army Next Generation weapon systems.

Q describes itself as "a manufacturer of guns and accessories made in the United States with SCIENCE" and operates under the motto "Live Q or Die."

The company is driven by innovation, focusing on developing next-generation products and solutions while deliberately avoiding the usual corporate hierarchies found in large corporations.
