I thought the give and take of technology was that you had to explain everything you were doing...You can always overclock equipment to produce better results...

That's silly, considering it gives one side the option to crank the handwavium up to 11 while the other side is severely constrained by the laws of physics. 

I also can't possibly see how some of the more 'mundane' technologies can be overclocked, like a Mosin-Nagant.
