Someone posted a link to the OSS suppressors website. I know we all fret about designs and machining limitations. What they've done, as shown in this video, is astounding. I suspect that it is a pain to clean if it powders up though.

Machining at it's finest.
July 5th, 2016. The day that we moved from a soft tyranny to a hard tyranny.
Re: Machining at it's finest.
WOW! That's Got a sh*t load of layers.
That's quite the machining marvel.
I bet when it gets dirty enough to clean it will have to be (dipped).
So, for all the machine work is the sound reduction worth it?
WOW!

Re: Machining at it's finest.
It might be machining at it's finest, but unless it also turns lead into gold I consider it a design nightmare. Can you imagine taking that one apart for cleaning?

Looks like they were heavily influenced by Mitchell Wurbell.

Re: Machining at it's finest.
a coworker has one for his 308 bolt gun , for the cost and weight its no where near worth it , while it does work and suppress the rifle to hearing safe it does not by any stretch "out perform" any other quality 308 cans that are far more simple to clean and WAY less to go wrong.
I haven't be able to try one on a gas operated gun which is what is said to be where they shine by reducing gas pressure far lower than other can , personally I think that a very simple issue fixed with a good gas block.

It's a technological masterpiece and engineering nightmare.I'm glad I don't have to service it.

The only reason after 243 years the government now wants to disarm you is they intend to do something you would shoot them for!

Sort of like the "high Tech" version of a lot of steel wool crammed between a lot of thin walled concentric tubes ,,--- with holes ..
I would bet that there are "recesses and corners" of that thing that gasses never touch ..

Re: Machining at it's finest.
Not surprised. It looks absurdly over-engineered, and in my experience narrow channels and complex "labyrinths" do little good. Are there any "Rube Goldberg" designs out there that actually work well?Samson104 wrote:for the cost and weight its no where near worth it

Re: Machining at it's finest.
I bet this helical folded design would be great on aircraft with large caliber weapons.
A vehicle mounted 25mm would benefit as would the imaging equipment if the thermal
qualities are true.
I'm in awe that they got it to work as well as they did.It is a bit busy for the laymen but
could see this technology in the military for mounted weapons after its been developed.

Re: Machining at it's finest.
Too heavy for aircraft cannon, but ground-based, sure. The added weight wouldn't cause a tank or APC any problem.

Looks like it passed the point of diminished returns but nails proof of concept.

Holy fucking hell no! I work with space bound multi-stage rockets and they arent this complicated!!
There are no "ex-Marines", just Marines who arent active anymore.
