I guess a qual or two a year they will be fine, not like y'all do any real shooting beyond that anyways.

Yup. I've got one and it's full auto rated with no barrel length restrictions.

Forgive me, or not, for not reading 3500 replies what ev. I don't need to see marketing to know that pure titanium is only the equivalent of trailer trash 1700's era steel.

Will it hold up? Yes, until it cracks.

First I would challenge you to find a single instance of an OSS Ti can cracking. Then I would point you to the test the DoD did with with multiple suppressors where they fired several hundred rounds at FA out of them to failure. Bet you can guess which can survived well past the test parameters and failure points of the other cans tested...

ETA: I'm getting old... Looks like I misremembered some of the details. Looks like it was an older gen OSS firstly, and second it was only against the SOCOM suppressor, not multiple.

Makes feel added goodness that's what I purchased. Not cheap, but looks worth it.

Definitely. I put three mags through mine full auto. It sucked it right up, and without a single titanium spark.

Also, I think thats the one that OSS did, not USSOCOM.
