    Suppressors Help Me Choose My Next Can.

    I still do not understand this comment, and I know you've posted it twice. The firing schedule maximum for the Dominus-SR (and at this point all of our SR cans) is defined to be the SOCOM SURGE test and then we characterize the lifetime in terms of how many of those cycles it is guaranteed...

    The outside surface of the Dominus-SR reaches 1100-1200 F (as determined using temperature-indicating welding crayons) during the SOCOM-SURGE cycle test. For more information about that test protocol, please read it here https://thunderbeastarms.com/products/dominus-sr To cool to ambient from...

    That's a little dramatic. Titanium cans have been around for at least 20 years, so they aren't exactly new. The military lab and/or procurement guys typically have their own flash testing protocols that aren't made public. There is more going on around this topic that it's not my place to...

    I offered to shoot a few combinations of gun/can/ammo and take timed exposures the next time we're doing it.

    I'll see if we have data on that. My interpretation is that either it's the powder itself or some aspect of the powder-burning result from "worse" ammo makes the ti spark more. Normally those small spark trails would be subsumed by the rest of the muzzle blast flash and you wouldn't see them...

    As a follow-up, if there's a specific test or combination you'd like us to do a timed exposure of, we can probably fit it into the range/test schedule.

    We did some testing around that and I can't exactly remember the result; however, I think the conclusion was you couldn't just do the first baffle or two. The problem is you can't weld ti to steel so you end up invalidating the strongest and most efficient construction that way. We recently...

    Longer barrels have minimal sparking, but you might still see a couple "streaks" if you do a time exposure. Sparking is highly dependent upon type of ammo (ie, powder type) and barrel length (shorter SBR's being worse).

    Here's how durable the Magnus and Dominus lines are: The only thing that would technically make the HUB version not "full auto" rated is that the HUB mount you screw in there will probably (or at least might) come loose.

    6" isn't very long if you want a good level of suppression. Sub 6" is "K" can territory. From our lineup, I'd suggest the Magnus-S. Super strong, good suppression (slightly less than Ultra 9).

    We have a B model piston for the SIGs that don’t have a shoulder. Not sure if it would work on these or not

    Suppressors TBAC ASR SR thread print

    I don't know if we have a print. The ones that we've seen like this, a normal SR brake will fit. I think all those are 3/4-24.

    Like it says, they were measured "as tested" with whatever mounts or adapters were required to screw them on the host threads, IE, how they were handed to the test staff. Every can (and we all do, LOL) quote lengths and weights of just the suppressor sans mount & device, but this is the...

    In the latest testing we did for the add'l Magnus rollout, they were about the same for peak dB due to the SS crack dominating both, but if you look at Impulse the 338 is a couple dB*ms quieter. If you look at Leq, the Magnus meters quieter by about 1 Leq dBA, but that's mainly because Leq uses...

    We'll do some recoil testing on smaller 6's. Sam's been shooting the S-RR on his 6 Dasher all season and says it's a noticeable reduction in recoil

    Suppressors New TBAC cans for 2024

    The top ports did not make an observable difference greater than the normal recoil variance of several shooters. In other words, given any particular porting/brake setup, the difference in muzzle flip from shooter to shooter was more than the "correction" of any top port setup. Muzzle rise...
