Transparent silencer gas flow filmed by high speed camera

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

Transparent silencer gas flow filmed by high speed camera

Post by xwray »

I happened to run into what I think is a very interesting video. I tried to search to see if it had shown up here but didn't get any results or didn't use the appropriate search terms.

Anyway, a couple of guys apparently researching the internal gas flow characteristics within a silencer. The transparent material they used was only good for one shot but it was enough to actually see the action caught by the very high speed camera of the burning gasses as they flowed around and through the baffles.

The video is about 20 minutes long and took a while to set up and start the experimenting and there was a bit too much talking but even so it was well worth it as I had never witnessed anything like that before. There were about 8 shots filmed and and the last one actually hung together until the bullet exited the "can" where the pressure finally blew it apart immediately after exiting.

Didn't click the link, but pretty sure we covered this a couple years ago. Anything new?

Probably not as the video I watched was published in Sept 2017...sorry I wasn't able to find evidence that it had already been discussed on this site...
