Re: Red Jacket BMF-S-12 Shotgun Suppressor?????
Nothing new about shot gun suppressors. They have been around for decades. There are serious issues, very serious, when one has to deal with plastic wads.
I have seen two fantastic designs, fully operational and very heavily tested, one in FA. Extremely well made, extremely well designed, the best was a Californian design that was produced for private concerns.
Folks, three things.
1. Power is greatly reduced if suppression is reasonable. Clearing a room or ship's hull loads and ranges were the target specs. Choke is a big part of the effective design, patterns are loose and require close range for effective spread.
2. Shotgun barrels are most usually quite thin walled. The "PRT" design required a heavy walled barrel end and, as you might imagine, a thread/shoulder that required some skill.
3. Nothing short about a shotgun suppressor barrel as not only is volume required, but stripping off gas requires multi chambers and a unique end baffle. Barrels are short.
Do they work, yes. They work well. Demand is very limited.
Red hat? Their full annual sales wouldn't have funded that project.
For the elders. here is the XMAS stack silenced shotgun shells. Full gas capture 25 yards.
