I have a friend of mine that keeps telling me that in surefire states in there literature that for the first few shots you WILL have baffle strikes and that the suppressor is made to with stand them. Can any one provide me with a link to this. I have not been able to find anything from surefire that says this. I can't believe him till I see it.

That just sounds ridiculous. Any strikes on the baffles could end up being catastrophic and I doubt that a company would let that go. Ill be following this thread!

Re: surefire suppressors
Surefire's suppressor video has a little line drawing demo showing their suppressor vs the competitor's "thick cone type baffles".
It shows how their suppressor is designed to take baffle strikes without causing severe bullet deflection (AKA outside the wall of the tube). This was marketed as a safety feature.
I don't think they were trying to imply baffle strikes would happen.

If Thats the video I don't see anything about it made to intentionally take baffle strikes.
Im by no means a sure fire fan boy but the really hit the nail on the head. Wish I had the budget for one on all my rifles.

Re: surefire suppressors
where do people come up with this shit any strike on a bullet would deflect the course of the bullet

Re: surefire suppressors
They aren't saying it won't deflect the course of the projectile - they are saying that cone-shaped baffles could potentially deflect a projectile OUT through the side of the suppressor if you DID have a baffle strike. Apparently their baffles aren't coneshaped and would merely contain the projectile. I haven't done a lot of research on their stuff, since I can't afford them. I shoot AAC.
