Re: Templar Tactical Firearms Archangel 338 Suppresor!
This was a prototype test at a suppressor shoot. We were not going for accuracy at this shoot/video, and the first shot in the video was the first shot with this can...it wasn't tested prior because it came straight out of the paint booth. We are on a table because the range we are shooting at has a metal roof and we wanted to get out from under it....hence also the cooler that we are sitting on.
The purpose of this video is to say, "Hey, Templar Tactical Firearms now has a .338 Lapua Magnum Can."
We've stated in other posts, and we know that video cannot capture the actual sound (sound clipping of the video mic), but many companies make videos of shooting suppressors because people want to see videos. If we didn't post a video, then everyone else on here would be asking us for one. We know video doesn't represent suppressors accurately, but it gets you close enough to see if you want to look into a suppressor more. Luke has been traveling around the country doing demos so people can hear what they actually sound like, because of course nothing comes close to seeing it in person.
Here's a rundown of our product line: The Ark = maximum suppression for the 5.56; the design is so robust that we can go up to 30 cal and you can get that one with very impressive sound performance but with the size and weight of the Ark. Then we have the Archangel = maximum suppression for the 30 cal; the monocore design for six sigma of this can is so robust it can go up to 338LM (with design changes) and get the size and the weight benefits of the Archangel (we also do this for our customers because they want a great product at a lower cost and these themes translates to business costs and doing this keeps my manufacturing costs lower). We are thinking about releasing a specific .338 design but the feedback we are getting is why would I want a larger can when I love the suppression and the package of the Archangel 338. Time will tell, and we are going to have more people doing independent reviews and get more feedback before adding more variability to our production system.
As for volume...TTF is starting to prove that our new patent pending baffle technology is cheating the volume debate (it still applies, but we are cheating it with new technology). I cannot give any more clues to the design until after the patent is issued, but I can talk molecules, gas flow mechanics, etc. all day - call me if you want to talk shop. This new technology allows us to produce some of the smallest and lightest solutions in sound suppression.
Note also that not everyone wants the quietest can (especially competitors & L.E.), they want cans that reduce sound pressure exposure, recoil, and that maintain or gain accuracy. They also don't want to stick a tank on the end of their rifle (this is becoming a very common statement from customers, and we like to listen to our customers). Monolithic suppressors are also supposed to have First Round Pop....we've done a great job of eliminating this as well. We are going after the smallest and lightest can designs in the industry that have amazing performance, and rock solid dependability. I've put a lot of thought, design, and development work into TTF cans, and we've been through over 80 different designs and have run computational fluid analysis on all of them to develop this technology. We did this scientifically, not by "I think this will work" designing.
Send me a PM if you have any questions and I'll try and provide you with as much info as I can - Thanks!
