Shotgun Silencers

Post by John Titsworth »

We have been working on shotgun silencers for some time now. This year will see the release of a number of them, including some really neat stuff we cant show you right now, but we thought you might enjoy this prototype.

OK. I could go for a blued 870 with nice wood furniture and a highly polished stainless suppressor like that. It would just look neat!

You wouldn't want stainless and you dont need it. Its far too heavy. This is already in the works.

I was more thinking an aluminum or Ti core (duuno how hot it gets) and a stainless or Ti(pricey) tube so It can be polished up. It would look neat and lets face it thats the only reason anyone would buy it. What calibers will these be in? And is it sold as a integral weapon?

12, 20 and 410, and the first will be integral single barrel type weapons, and they will not be expensive. Pumps and autos will be after that.

As for TI its too expensive and stainless...its just makes it too heavy so AL is the choice, but you can do a lot with aluminum.

Hmm. I guess Id be down for a 870 pump integral with flat black suppressor. Yeah, what kind of price are we talking here for a complete integral shotgun. 8)

I have a family friend who lives in the Uk and has a couple suppressed shotguns. He has a 20 gauge O/U that is suppressed and is awesome. Not only light and pretty quiet but is a great shooting bird gun. I shot about 20 pigeons with it and it preformed great.

Does anybody know what type of baffles and such they use over there? They have been making and selling suppressed shotguns for a very long time. Are the ones made here a different design?

Still working on the exact designs to get the max sound reduction. When we are finished I will post numbers. As with my other numbers, they will be taken exactly as I would for any can so you can count on it being correct. The 410 will be the quietest, but we are "shooting" for about the same sound pressure levels of a 9mm silencer and a 45 silencer. This would be with subsonic shot, and that is a different aspect of this altogether. Subsonic buckshot is quote awesome!

We are still doing contract work for an agency, but when that is over we will release these.

Thanks

Legal for hunting in some states now.

Got any plans to develop and market a suppressed hunting barrel?

Yes, that is in the works. Extrusion dies are being drawn up now.

Any hints about targeted models? Assuming the aftermarket barrel route.

I'm kind of assuming it won't be a full shotgun built up from scratch. :)

John I have got one of these in 410 and 12ga since factory pistol grip I was going to register them as AOW, but silenced might be cool, do you need protruding barrel, or can your silencers mount to a shortened tube.

That would be a neat project. I think we would be able to do it either way.

Any updates John? A suppressed shotgun would sit well with my armadillo problem. :twisted:

I hate those damn things too. No updates yet, but we are working on it. Lots of prototyping.

Something I've always been curious about is attachment. I understand the concept of a complete barrel/silencer setup, but can the device mount like a rifle or pistol silencer? Is the internal threading for a choke strong enough? In case you couldn't tell, I know nothing about shotguns.
