    Suppressors TBAC CB2HUB vs Energetic Armory CB2HUB

    We're probably 10-12 weeks out on more of those. Sorry for the delay!

    The long config is the best to shoot. I think people will use that one.

    Short config is 7 dB louder at SE vs. the long config. A flat cap is not included or sold separate because it's a silencer part-- see the Magnus thread for discussion. You wouldn't want to shoot it with a flat cap anyway, less than half the recoil reduction of either braked config.

    You can put a dab of loctite on the rear endcap if you want to. Otherwise I find that putting a little transverse force on the can body when unscrewing will add enough friction to the rear endcap's threads that it may come off the barrel if it doesn't want to. I have this issue maybe on 10%...

    I don't know how they cut their muzzle threads. Rimfire spec is supposed to be 0.40" but I've seen them (.22LR barrels in general) all over the place. I typically just throw a couple peel washers on there to space it out if the threads are too long.

    The baffle spacing is set for the rimfire spec (0.40" muzzle to shoulder length). If you have a centerfire spec thread length, you will need a spacer or two to get it right.

    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).
