I have been gleening knowledge and debating going the Form 1 way soon. Either a .22lr or 9mm AR can would be my first attempt.
Anyway, here I am drinking a cold one, reading over some interesting concepts on the freeze plug route. I don't know if it was in jest, but I think it was Subsonic who commented on using aluminum can bottoms for a .22 can in the future. I look down at the cap off my beer. It is a touch over 1", could be compressed to fit and would form well with the ball bearing method.
Please be gentle with me (like I said, it is my first time). Just a thought, or maybe just too many of the cold beer. (I am going to start popping the tops gently so not to deform too much.)
Welcome. Cherish your freewheeling flashes of creativity on the subject. Such musings
often lead to real insights that would not have arisen without the first 'stone in the pond'
thought. The "100 DB suppressor" is the goal.
As a departed physicist buddy often said "We are just cosmic hockey pucks
in God's four dimensional ice rink". Chaos is indeed the engine of life and creative thought.
As a very wise member of this site knows that, for instance, just looking at a stack of telephone
books raises the creative juices of our brethren.
Perhaps in your next musings with the help of the elixir of life you might ponder what
about the beer caps caused you to make the suppressor association. Geometry? Shape?
Manufacturing? Crenelations for sound disruption/dispersal?
The particular 'beer cap' was an external symbol of an associative process of your consciousness that
your mind/brain's metaphoric designer was communicating to you.
"Ask it!" by tossing about the various parameters.
As for beer brewing it has been said that it gave rise to civilization as it was
a supply of pure water, vitamins, etc. ( Also tipsy marriage proposals without which
we, eons later, would not be here.

Supporting story, Discovery of Benzene Ring from WIKI:
".. Kekulé spoke of the creation of the theory. He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule
after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake seizing its own tail
(this is a common symbol in many ancient cultures known as the Ouroboros or Endless knot).
This vision, he said, came to him after years of studying the nature of carbon-carbon bonds."
