See Through Suppressor in Super Slow Motion

I figured this would have been put up by now. Saw it on TOS.

Very very fascinating.

I wish the vid had spent more time with explaining the suppression and the dB results. Cool vid none the less.

Definitely cool to watch.

Very informative, I am amazed the see through outer tube of cast acrylic survived on a couple of them. I would have though the hoop stress would have blown them all to little bits!

The video on his second channel has some sound data which shows the suppressor tested is less than stellar.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I have never heard of this suppressor company.

The testing protocol may be different.

What's really interesting is the suppressor being shot at 3:39. You can see that it has two different styles of chambers and the second works to extinguish the flames inside the can. What causes the flames is the hot gasses mixing with oxygen and reigniting. This mixing and igniting is what causes muzzle flash. Flash hiders work by dispersing, cooling and slowing the mixing of the gasses with the air outside the bore as the gasses exit. I wonder if this extinguishing action works to eliminate first round pop

I saw there was a longer video but I have not watched it yet. First blush I was pretty excited to see how the different designs worked with respect to flame propagation.

The propaganda from the suppressor I bought mentions using supersonic vortices inside to extend the time mixing for 50% longer than any other suppressor on the market. Good for bolt guns and keeping the muzzle noise down. Of course they used CFD and have aerospace experience.

You can make the acrylic pretty fat and now have a poor mans way to visualize the flow without the hassle of CFD... well, assuming you can find that camera for decent price. 10 years ago a similar camera was $75,000.

Anywho, I showed this video to an ME I just hired and said we need to start our own suppressor company.

Supersonic vortices sound interesting. Care to divulge the company?
