The concept of an inexpensive suppressor is nice, and so we're discussing the positives and negatives of the prototype announced.
There is no reason to resort to passive baiting on this forum. Thanks.

I had the oppertunity to check out this suppressor for a few minutes at SHOT. I was impressed, especailly considering the price.
The problem is that NFA is so insignificant due to laws that have been put in place.
If there was no NFA/Hughes amendment, ever AR15 sold in every store would be select fire and have a 14.5" barrel and nobody would think anything different because there wouldn't be anything different.
If it IS really $300, then that's what you'd pay for a Gemtech Outback. Having a can that can do .22LR or 5.56mm for the price of an entry-level .22LR can is very attractive.
I wonder if this is an 11.5" gun w/ 9" rails...

According to the video its all sheet metal baffles, with the only machined parts being the mount and sleeve. The European market is full of $300 sheet metal suppressors so this doesnt seem like a new concept.
We just get wrapped around the axle about having bomb-proof cans because of the hoops and fees we have to jump through. That being said I dont think sheet metal baffles is for me, unless they will warranty them for a certain round count.
