    Yes, and not just the weight, but the can holds some heat in also. It also raises the cyclic rate.

    This was the same point that was found to blow on the M4. About 14 to 15 mags thus we have the SOCOM weight barrel now.

    20 is the max cuttoff IIRC.

    Depends on how fast your magazine changer is.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info. My next question is why someone didn't contact Surefire and call bullshit.

    Why didn't someone call Bravo Sierra on STRIDER Knives and their Special Operations Combat Vet BS for so long ?

    Answer:


    Because it takes time to catch up, they know they most likely NOT get sued/litigated against and the Advertising/Magazines/Publications KNOW what sells and they know how to OBFUSCATE/PREVARICATE to generate sales etc. and make LOTS of MONEY.

    FRAUD is RAMPANT in the Mags etc.

    Hop,

    Funny you mention Strider. The instructor who taught my SPR Course knows this individual and the subject happened to come up during training. FWIW- he told that he is LEGIT and is a personal friend of his. When I asked why he didn't just clear the air and defend himself he said why should he? Long story short there was some back and forth between us and he was able to make a good case on many points.

    Back to the subject at hand. Other suppressor manufacturers I suppose could come out and call a collective BS and then obtain a suppressor in an attempt to replicate their claim. If I was independently wealthy I would do it.

    On this test we got 580 rounds before the flash hider failed.

    fire to destruction test of M16A2 rifle & M4A1 carbine barrels

    excerpted from the above linked report:
    -rifle barrel went 491 rounds before rupture
    -carbine #1 went 540 rounds (they didn't have more ammo loaded); barrel was damaged, but not ruptured.
    -carbine #2 went 596 rounds before barrel rupture.

    I don't know about that 50 mag back-to-back test...

    What a bunch of ****ing slime balls. I have not ben a huge fan of the product for some time, especialy their cans for some time now. I was around when DHS (BC in particular) got the Surefires for testing. They should not be allowed to be called a suppressor. It may meter as quieter, but it sounds a lot louder and it echos off the canyon walls something fierce. The Tac Inn TAC-16 is a significant amount quieter. And the AAC one officer had was a LOT quieter. For half the money.

    What they did here is just shitty and wrong. But it figures.

    The spot welds are one reason why it is not as strong as it could be:

    I like how for the "barrel" they photoshopped in, someone just took the flash hider in the foreground and stretched it out.
