    Adding a keymo adapter bumps the weight up to be right around a sandman-s, and the nomad will then be wider, longer, and possibly even cost more, while you give up durability.

    I suppose if you intend to run it only as direct thread, with a Q cherry bomb, or Area 419 Hellfire mount, it makes more sense. In fact, I would probably get this to use on a Hellfire.

    How has some baffles in a tube become so complicated?

    That's the root of a lot of bad ideas. (not referring to this product, because I have no idea what is even being discussed/presented)

    Well this was beyond underwhelming. I was hoping they would offer a strong competitor to the Rugged Micro 30. Yawn...moving along.

    So what this does is probably get us closer to a 2 inch diameter can which will get us closer to a 5.56 can producing 120ish dB readings. Omega went a little over 1.5 inches. Chimera goes a little more. Market accepts it. This one adds another .1 inches.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    But Sandman is not necessarily quieter. And that can seems to have more first-round pop. My guess is that dead air has done some new stuff with the baffles to make it quieter and not have a lot of first-round pop.
