Night Comparison - WB Ti vs. WB 718

[@rahealharisshabbir]

Well... It's over, you guys won.

[@cadenmagee6858]

Awesome comparison. The titanium is impressive in its own regards but the 718 is just nuts

[@idanksicard]

You guys are incredible. Fantastic engineering feat, big round of applause for your team. These are putting all other mfg on notice. These things are gonna fly off the shelf. As for the release date. Is that the release date for distributors, too, or will the website be the only place to purchase one? I just don't want to miss it

[@specterscat]

Thanks Dude. Yep, from Silencer Shop Nov. 28 (the core civilian retailer), then some months from the CAT website or Capitol Armory (when we have extra production units).

[@mrstihl16]

Any idea how much yhe titanium will spark on a longer barrel like 18"?

[@DDadams0]

It'll always spark. Longer barrel or not. The inconel wb is only 12.6 ounces - just get the inconel. If you actually shoot a magazine or more at a time you have no use for the titanium. It can only take half a mag or so before hitting its temp limit.

[@brandondane4777]

Other than sparks Why should I get the 718 over TI. I don’t shoot at night ever.

[@Distractd1]

There isn't one unless you genuinely plan on shooting with a high rate of fire. I personally own the Ti and was one of the first to grab one when they dropped. I absolutely love it and I have no regrets getting the Ti over the inconel. I do however want an ODB in inconcel now lol.

[@brandondane4777]

@@Distractd1 I rarely ever do more than a few rounds but I like the idea of having the option. I feel like I do many more 15 round shots on my 9 mm than I ever do on my AR. Simply cause I don’t have the ammo lol

[@TrevDri]

Half the weight though. Man that sounds nice

[@DDadams0]

Who cares about the weight when the inconel is just 12.5? That sparking will get you killed. Don't buy titanium 556 cans - period

[@Aron_J]

Seems pretty damn good. My question is how does it stand when used for long periods at a time. Does it start to throw more fire out once it gets hot and does it get loud etc. how does it compare to surefire socom rc2

[@specterscat]

Spark will reduce, flash is heavily reduced due to end cap configuration.

[@Aron_J]

Spark will reduce? What do you mean exactly? Like as it heats up theres less signature ie spark?

[@RoccoSucato]

@@Aron_J ​ @specterscat my experience with titanium silencers is that sparking continues while the clean/bare titanium is exposed in a new can. Once a layer of carbon builds up inside the silencer, sparking significantly reduces, if not completely goes away. Cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner will bring the sparking back. I think running a couple mags of 5.56 through a short barrel should help get the initial carbon deposit started. Can speak to completely eliminating spark. ​ @specterscat Thoughts?

[@getusome07]

Buuut what about that there odb🤔, how does that old facker do at night, ti vs inc

[@specterscat]

Kills it even more.

[@matthewmansell1413]

11.5 Midlength? Is that possible? Lol

[@vincelombardi2669]

Yes it is. All my 11.5” are mid length. Faxon and few others make them.

[@cardboard_shaft]

@@vincelombardi2669 LMAO

[@richardcook3185]

Will the TI spark less over time?

[@specterscat]

Wait for tomorrow's MEOW Ep. 7

[@blkt6]

Why the prejudice against civilians for 718 being Mil/Leo only. If mil/leo can own it , civilians should also. That’s how real 2A companies operate in the US. Not overruns only.

[@quiettime6871]

Who's telling you that?

[@blkt6]

@@quiettime6871look on Cat’s website the 718 is only listed under mil/leo. If you find it anywhere it’s because it’s a contract overrun. Hence out of stock mostly.

[@skyofstorms]

They explain that in one of their podcasts. The main difference in Civ and LEO cans is user requirements. Both are using the same patented tech and are nearly identical. Civ cans are made with a coating that is good for general use and weather resistance and have hub compatibility. LEO cans can be longer for maximum sound suppression or shorter for CQB operation requirements at the cost of suppression. They're also coated with a different coating for extended long term hard field use. They produce small batches of both cans due to the production facility's allotment.

Can we see your rifle!?

[@specterscat]

10.5" KAC

[@DemocracyManifest-vc5jn]

Does length of rifle impact sparks, like flash? I got a 16” 556 barrel
