Re: Can you mag-pod an AK?
I have several times and had no issues.....Its a high pivot point and can be uncomfortable to shoot from since your shoulder is a but higher than a normal prone position.

Re: Pressure calculations so my can doesn't potentially fail.
20 tpi and its definitely loud. I shot a deer with it once while it had a muzzle brake on it......ONCE!
I took the brake off while I was still in my stand. Blurred my vision for a second kind of loud.

Re: 9mm Gun Discussion
Any +P round will have excellent stopping power but this chart has the numbers. Highest Ft. Lbs of energy in my limited opinion mixed with the proper bullet would be my choice for most stopping power. I'd write down the top 5 or 10 with the highest energy and check availability from there. Good Luck...

Re: Looking for a little input
I'm sorry but there are too many issues with this design ......1. Recoil booster/Neilson device is needed unless your 9mm is a fixed barrel. 2. Allot of wasted space with just round holes. 3. Maintaining alignment will be an issue using and eccentric design. 4. 420 stainless is way overkill for a 9m...

K-baffle scoop alignment?
Can alignment of the scoops in a row, opposite each other have an effect on bullet travel or cause yaw?

Safe or no?
I am looking at the 300 blackout rifle Cabelas has for sale right now.
Using Subsonic loads ONLY will it be safe to use my .45 form 1 can on a 300 blackout with a 16.12 inch barrel?........

Re: Can Titanium Tube be joined to Stainless Endcaps without threading?
Silver solder needs a "gap" to flow into so a press fit might not be the way to go?..........Should be strong enough if done properly. I regularly use it to fasten copper to steel and it needs to be machined apart or heated up to separate. Interesting idea

If you fully weld the last baffle in place around the full diameter of the tube and plug weld it as well
is there any reason you couldn't use it as the end cap?.......
