Designed by Jonathan Blecher, "BrashZero" encapsulates the audacious spirit of the project. To even attempt the challenge of caseless ammunition, which had long been deemed impossible, was ambitious–maybe even brash.
The name BrashZero is in part a play on words. “Brash” sounds like “Brass,” which this operating system eliminated entirely.
Hence the name “BrashZero.” A decisive break from convention, delivering a solution where others have faltered.
