Arrogant, who gave you the title of senior silent operator. A near riot took place the day you said you were leaving with people over joyed to give you a boot in your ass so much so the thread was locked, a first around here.This whole place has kept it's mouth shut ever since because every idea po...

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think this.

Sounds to me like a very arrogant answers: If you Guys already know “why” Suppressors work and not willing to share, this is not your Post for sure.

Thanks for the good answers, I’m compiling them and consolidate so after a while more, i’ll post some sort of “conclusions” (and side comments) and start another Post with other parts or sub-assemblies. Of course I’ll post my own ideas. No hidden intentions here, just trying to put some “whys” on wh...

This is the first of a series of threads focused on “Why Suppressors work” not in “How/What Suppressor work”. It’s open, no need to be a Guru on Suppressors, just for those with common sense. Everybody is welcome as long as they drop down their best guess not what others make and “work”. If I see it...

These Baffles are great but sorry, no; it’s not due to the better cooling but due to the suction effect they create. There are two variables to take into account: Number of flutes and flute radius (angle of cut). If you can afford CNC Manufacturing, these are champions for full auto center fire Can...

http://i.imgur.com/69WiYHW.jpg So, those spiral flutes in the cone baffles add torque to the gas flow thereby tightening the suppressor? No, they just redirect the gases to allow it to cool down longer. These Baffles are great but sorry, no; it’s not due to the better cooling but due to the suction...

In general, Bullet diameter must be smaller than “Silencer hole” (no fun for the Bullet and no fun for the Silencer). That’s for Silencers made out of metal, if you go to elastic/adaptive/ameba type Silencers you can go the other way around (fun for both, Bullet & Silencer). So, it's your call n...

I used to do lots of remote CNC Programming (not enough margin so not anymore). This is the procedure is used to follow with remote Customers: 1) Grab the 2D and/or 3D Models/Drawings. 2) Enter into AutoDesk Inventor Pro (3D CAD). 3) Review design and tolerances into Inventor. 4) Grab Machine and to...

... They didn't teach HS Physics when I went to HS. OK, Touché !, My fault, i was not aware of that. Sorry for my comment. Now, for the dB ratings, as you already know, the scale is exponential (feel free to Google and find the formula) so the first Suppressed dB is quieter than the last one. That ...

Not for a debate nor another mess but just to clarify; both statements from Bendersquint are wrong: Sound propagation thru solids is a fact since sound is just a mechanical wave. Second, there is no lack on internal volume with thicker walls as far as you have bigger ID’s. And both are real life fac...

In general, the thicker the better (seriously, really …). That’s for sound suppression but not for accuracy: Even you are doing BR shooting, having a Suppressor is not equivalent to have a Bull Barrel. Harmonics and center of gravity are not the same having a Barrel with the total weight evenly dist...

OK, here you have the final version of the 3D PDF QD Locking Cone (1/4 QD Mount). Don’t click on the link but go for a “Save Link As” and then open in your local drive (It’s a PDF file so no issues with Viruses or so): http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6924/6xn.pdf

OK, no problem. Let me know what you want me to upload and I will (not “all”, please). There are many 3D PDF Models available in my GrabCAD.Com account, just follow this link: https://grabcad.com/paulnoiseless-1/projects

I just deleted all the files due to high traffic on my site. I’ll upload the latest QD Mount model into a free storage site and post the link.

“Weeks” is just for testing a Blast design or for testing a 1:4 scaled (or more) Suppressor. I have a full Suppressor COMSOL model running now, 1:2 and it’s 30% done after 3 months. No way, just keeping that batch for my thesis because I have to argue and document but since I found out 3D Printing, ...

Try & Error R&D is a lot cheaper for the Smaller size Markets; like Suppressors. All you have to do is figure out, build and try. Not for individuals in USA since you have to pay 200 dollars tax per build. However, it’s not impossible to fully and accurately simulate a Suppressed Gun Shot. I...

Degroat Nano and similar MonoCores built out of Ti (around 4 inches long and 1 OD) or Ti and Alu (little bigger) cycle most 9 mm Pistols without the need of a RB. You have to use wet wipes and depending on material thy last for 2 or 3 magazines. Finally, think on the ammo you are going to use. Link ...

Ported Stepped Cones are really good for Suppression. Accuracy (grouping) is not related to the Baffles (or its features) but to the change in Barrel harmonics due to extra weight at the Muzzle. This phenomenon exponentially grows with Barrel length. 8 inches is enough for .308 Can and 10 inches can...

Nothing called a "pill" ?, you have to be kidding, right ?. I’m not a Pharmacist but a PH and, yes, I can truly confirm “pills” do exists. Check this Link out:

You can have a look to this one: http://grabcad.com/library/308w-hybrid-suppressor-krestel-and-ranger-baffles-like That one is a mix of what has been discussed: OnlineMetals Tube (1.5 OD x 0.188 wall) and Machined for having the Baffles Support Tab and 0.065 wall in the front tube and 0.094 wall in ...

Suppressor’s Tubing is a whole world where Commercial Manufacturers are not the reference (IMMO). Sorry, they work for the cheap and can’t be as creative as we can due to Market pressure :mrgreen: Tubes machined from Bar Stock have the issue of length (and Machine time and waste of Material & To...

OK, i understand what Fulmen says. My comments: Axial pressure is related to threads engagement and tolerances while radial pressure is related to net wall thicknesses at threading peaks (Note: Axial pressure is the bullet flight and radial pressure is the pressure pulse expansion to the Baffles/Tub...

Mechanical elongations (deformation) are exactly the same as long as thickness and materials are the same for in & on. Now, of course, with “in to” caps you can go thicker ergo you can go stronger. So, this is not a better or worse matter; it’s just another available “option” and for sure not re...

I see some benefits on Caps threading onto the Tube and no need for an increase in OD and/or multi OD’s (ugly look): Shorter Cans, no wasted space, more contact surface for hand-screwing, easier to Machine for MiniLathes. no need for “special” Baffles to fit into the end cap, easier for building com...

They don’t have drawings for the Welrod but they have the 3D Model. They are not willing to neither share nor sell, anyway. I started to make a full 3D Model for the Welrod sometime ago using different sources of info and some other available partial models, blueprints and info from owners. It’s now...
