    Colt did have a flash hider early on, IIRC it was on the 11.5in XM177 and it did offer some DB reduction.

    But like rob_s said above, OPS has been offering the M4-S for a good while now...I think over a year, if not two. It goes for $215. You can put an M4-S on any size barrel.
    The Surefires are meant for 14.5 and beyond and some places are saying they bring sound down at the ear to 141db. I think 141db is still on the verge "ouch" levels.

    I'll agree that the pictures where informative. Thats why I linked it. But that dude was too funny. When I saw him holding up the 12th to the mini can, I couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like he thought that was the ONLY can OPS makes.

    I hope to see more companies producing smaller cans...I like the concept!

    I call BS. From what I understand...this guy thinks these mini cans are "quieter" than what looks like a 12th, maybe 16th model OPS. I HIGHLY doubt that.

    I also don't see anything on that table O' guns set up to run an OPS.
    I think that you are flattering his post by calling it a review.

    Holy wow... that's an incredible thread over there.

    Not worth my joining to get involved, but wow.


    Anyway, we've made a couple mini/micro suppressors and there are 2 main problems with the small form factor-

    1. they are not anywhere near hearing safe.
    2. they flash like crazy.

    Since sound and flash are the 2 main purposes of a can, I don't see these as worth it in any way...

    We'll have to wait for some real word tests. Suppressing the AR to hearing safe level isn't an easy thing at any rate...

    Heard the Mini on a 16" barrel this weekend. Impressively quiet. I thought it was a .22LR.

    I really don't see how these micro/mini cans would work. Or maybe this technology is way past my ability to comprehend

    I agree. Maybe I don't really understand the baffles can help you get more efficiency out of the volume of the tube, but you are still limited by the volume of the tube. Greatly reduce the tubes volume and therefore limiting the amount of baffles you have in there and it seems hard to comprehend that this "K" would not be loud as hell.

    The only update I have heard is from Grant. He has one on his 10.5" and its TITS. I had originally heard that you could only run them on 14.5" guns or longer but Grant said they were GTG on the 10.5's. I'm sure if he runs into any problems he will post up.

    So you're saying it's ears safe on a 10.5" upper?
