Surefire fail safe suppressors

What makes these fail safe?

Do they have alignment pins or central shaft to keep baffles in alignment?

Baffles are welded to the tube so thats not it, I have my suspicions on what it is and once I verify it I will post it.

According to their marketing, it's that due to the shape of the baffles (rounded), a bullet that is unstable and hits a baffle is more likely to continue out the front of the can rather than hitting a sharp angle baffle and being deflected out the side of the can.

I've seen a lot of baffle strikes in various cans, and i think this claim/feature is more marketing hype than anything.

My suspicions were correct then.....all marketing.

Well, we have had some serious damage occur to suppressors when doing testing to destruction; not a single bullet has deflected to the side.

Fail Safe makes people feel better about overpaying for a SureFire can.

+1

But if it addresses a problem noone knew existed it makes for effective marketing and makes all other suppressor manufacturers suspect about what THEY do to combat that problem.

I find it hard to justify forking over the cash they want just for their flashlights.

Hey something has to make them feel better for paying more.
