Newbie 'M' baffle question

[a_canadian]

Ah, perhaps dented in the manner whereby pressed domes made from freeze plugs are dented one one edge of the hole? Makes more sense than clipping by removing material. Deflects gas across the bore. I'll have to try making a couple of parabolic dome baffles for my tiny can and swap them for the first two K baffles. Should be interesting.

I recall the tuning was very sharp in LavaRed's build. You should be able to set the reflection distance by adjusting the F/ratio to create a short reflective stack as that is desirable . We might also be able to create a superior reflector by using other reflective bodies in combination with parabolas creating wide filter networks.These may not need a sharp reflective nature to be useful.While its only a theory back pressure may be altering gas flow retention in the suppressive elements. If a correlation between increased back pressure and lower SPL numbers exist we will have a whole new ball game in gas operated suppressed weapons and locked breech ones as well. This discovery may rival the slanted sidewall in suppressor technology but much testing is needed.

[Historian]

A new tool that might be of interest is the FLIR One attachment
for iPhone. It is so useful for detecting hidden water leakage
paths during rain storms, auto engine detecting hot spots,
and any of the myriad of 'seeing through ' walls.

Applying it to seeing heat profile distributions of cans
might fit into a proper analysis of various can designs.
