Had family tell me about seeing this can on some sort of TV news channel.
Curious if there are any downsides to it, although probably not anything to negate the reduced potential for serious burns and destruction of property.
Fudge me! This is interesting. This is too good to be true.

Sounds like a fairly good one, I’m not in the market for a form 4 cans. I’m planning on dropping several form 1’s soon. 10 mm, 9 mm and others for some projects to work on. Maybe a SBS a few more SBR’s. Definitely need to actual hear / shoot one in person, cool down times and F.A. rating. A few buddies I know have them.

If it doesn’t get hot, it probably doesn’t do much.

Science, it’s like magic only real.
Looked it up on the Silencershop machine and it mentions detail cleaning every 2500 rounds. It doesn’t appear to be “take apartable” though.
I would like to hear one.
I wondered about the cool being real after reading their claimed 35db reduction(which a lot of others do too) being kind of a smoke and mirrors thing if everything I have found about the super sonic crack being about 140db is accurate.

If it works all around, I might have to change my lack of interest in centerfire pistol cans from the “it’s hot, so now what do I do with it” angle.
The T Rex suppressor holsters seem like a good way to get leg burns.

Yea…this is interesting tech. Intake cooling ports. On video, it doesn’t sound like it’s any louder than the other can that it was compared to.

If this design is as good as it “sounds”, it would be great for volume shooting and mirage mitigation on bolt gun both.

I aways try to extrapolate it too, but when friends bring up seeing a YouTube can review that “seemed quiet” I always point out no one leaves a shoot’em up movie deaf as a post.

I watched that video and a few others. It seems to be real similar to other flow through cans like the HUX, but incorporated a venturi effect for the cooling. In that video it did sound quieter than HUX and definitely quieter than the Surefire RC2, but the heat mitigation is the biggest positive. Like @MarkM said, mirage and high volume shooting looks promissing!

Yes, seeing a video of just that can can’t tell you much, but in the video I saw, it went almost back to back with another can and they took thermal reads after 10-15 shots. The Ambient was no louder, and one of them did a full 30 round mag dump, then proceeded to grab the can with his hand. It’s that good at heat mitigation.

There’s just got to be a downside other than price to this.

So it looks like it is really just a “cover” that is built into the suppressor with vents to suck in cool air. Kinda like a barrel shroud.
More or less, probably incorporating a Venturi effect to pull air from the rear towards the front, as high pressure gas escapes the can at high velocity it probably creates a vacuum or low pressure area that will scavenge cooler air through the venting ducts.
Similar to how a big lumpy cam with close lobe separation angles create overlap events where the exhaust valve is still open while the intake valve comes off the valve seat and provides exhaust scavenging as the fast flowing exhaust gases will leave a bit more vacuum in their wake and increase fresh air flow into the cylinder. Only works at high RPM’s and throttle where things are moving fast but it works.

A la Lewis and Pecheneg? I saw something a year or three ago about that applied to a can. I like the idea.

I’d still be cautious of “no louder than” to draw conclusions about cans from videos. If the format, recording device, and viewing device cap perceived loudness at “x” level, which they do, then x, x+1, and x+10 all will be percieved at the same level. The below quote is probably an example of that.

Yes I understand that. Although they tried their best to display the tone and sounds from multiple angles and distances to help but he did say they weren’t metering the cans but planned to have another tuber test the actual decibels
