Intro Song: "Issa Trap" by Mikey Geiger

[@InWithBothFeet]

The comment about flow through cans not cycling subsonic ammunition was a tad misleading. Flow through suppressors do not reduce back pressure below the level of an unsuppressed rifle. If the rifle will cycle subsonic ammo without the can, it will most certainly do so with the can. I think what they mean to say is that traditional baffle stack suppressors help a rifle that isn't set up to cycle subsonics do so because they increase back pressure while flow through suppressors do not.

[@daviddroescher]

Was thinking the same . If it won't cycle with the helper ,how could it ever function without the extra back pressure? The distance from the gas block to muzzle does not get shorter adding suppression .

[@abelleu7551]

I wouldn’t worry too much about the heat/cooling rate, they are built with that in mind and will be able to handle it, tho it’s definitely also a good idea to check the owners manuals to see how much of it they are built to handle. Usually what ever that is tends to be on the conservative side similarly to how barrels that aren’t rated for +P ammunition still need to be able to handle a proof load. That being said, I would choose flow through most of the time for a semi automatic for gassing management (both of the operations system and blow back to the face) as well as because it will be better on the longevity of internal parts. Those aren’t concerns for lever or bolt action firearms and if more likely go with a more traditional baffle cannon one of those.

[@petesheppard1709]

One point I wish had been discussed was comparing internal and external pistons (OR, piston v DI). It seems like an external piston is more suppressor-friendly, since there is (AIUI) less gas being blown back into the receiver.

[@bille.334]

I dont seem to have issues with tuning. My biggest factors in choosing a can is weight, length, price and lastly noise reduction.

[@charlesbrown1444]

Those modular cans also allow you to dial down the diameter. The suppressor base may be able to accept a 9mm for example, but the added baffle modules can bring the exit to a .22 which greatly increases the decibel reduction of that caliber.

[@Fyrwulf]

I have two builds planned, one an AR-15 SPR in 6mm ARC and one an AR-10 SBR in 8.6mm Blackout. When I finally get to the suppressor step, the former is getting a HUXWRX suppressor and the latter a Q Short Chop. One thing worth noting is that with a supersonic round, you're still going to have a substantial report. The advantage of a suppressor, besides the hearing protection, is that the sound is distorted and diffused. I can't see a flow-through design effecting that, considering that the gasses are being ejected from the can radially.

[@GO0DWOLF]

I really would like to get a supressor, but I just don't trust the ATF not to go. "Na fam, we changed our mind. Turn in your thousand dollar piece of gear or become a felon."

Are we just gonna act like all the big suppressor manufacturers weren't looking down on huxwrx and saying their silencers were gimmicks and then suddenly all the big players are making "Flow-Through" low back pressure suppressors and calling it their innovative idea because I remember. Where is surefire's new suppressor because they have been dormant on new designs forever and shitting on Huxwrx, a few years ago Doug Olson(Retired) from Knights Armament said in an interview that 3D printed suppressors were not the future and look at KAC now, B&T from Switzerland are gonna act like they invented all the baffle tech already used in most silencer yet they were caught copying KAC baffles in the 90s curtesy of HK giving them KAC suppressor tech used on their guns, they're probably also gonna claim they were doing the reduced back pressure cans for a long time before huxwrx.

[@TheFlyingGoat]

I absolutely couldn’t find any answers anywhere else for this question. So does the length of the suppressor add velocity to the barrel. For example: you have a mcx rattler 5.5 inches barrel in 556 chamber . If you put an 8 inches suppressor on, does the velocity output acts like you are shooting from a 13.5 = 8 + 5.5 inches barrel or it’s just the same as 5.5 inches barrel?

[@emperorgix]

Adding a suppressor will indeed increase the velocity, but by a marginal, some say negligible amount. I've seen ~15-30 from some folks I trust, 50 at the highest end.

2questions To clean can you soak and use a ultrasonic cleaner? Can you use the 762 flowthrough for multiple calibers?

[@joshrandall3632]

Ultrasonic cleaners work very well for the suppressors that are not able to disassemble. You can always use a bigger suppressor for a smaller caliber, provided the threads match, but you can never go up. Using a suppressor meant for a 7.62 with a .22 cal will be less effective because so much gas can go around the bullet. Using a .22 cal suppressor on a 7.62 will result in a ruined suppressor, possible damage to the firearm and potentially severe injuries to the shooter and bystanders.

Question of what task the suppressor has to accomplish. In not civilian circles the operator wants a low signature, aka less sound transported to the threat.

I wish they would have touched on the need for a booster for pistols and do you need a booster for pistol caliber carbines? I don't care about the heating/cooling. I want efficiency in noise suppression.

[@joshrandall3632]

Most of the modern suppressors are light enough that they don't require the use of a Neilsen device. Neilsen devices (boosters) are only necessary for pistols with a Browning style lock-up system. Most PCCs are just blowback operated so they won't need one at all. Btw, PCCs suppress really well because of the low pressure, but some rounds that are subsonic from a pistol can be supersonic from a 16" barrel.

[@JamesMcCoy84]

Can I get the list of the flow through models in the caption?

[@douglasfletcher718]

Guys, you need to look up Bernoulli's Principle. A suppressor isn't trapping gasses in chambers to slow the gasses down. The suppressor is forcing the gas through a constriction to decrease pressure. Sound volume is directly related to pressure. The gasses aren't slowing down. they are actually speeding up

[@joshrandall3632]

Yes, suppressors trap gasses and slow the gasses down. When something is forced through a constriction, it INCREASES the pressure, but there are no constrictions in these suppressors, so that's a moot point. How do you consider going from .22" to 1.5" a constriction? It's an expansion. As the gasses expand and COOL they slow down and the pressure drops. If you look at sound level meter testing, you'll see suppressors have a much longer but lower peak sound level. That's because the gasses are cooler and moving slower, at a lower pressure than at the muzzle.

[@douglasfletcher718]

@joshrandall3632 anything that causes the gasses to change direction is a constriction. The baffles and chambers inside the suppressor are constrictions to the flow of the gasses, just like the curved top of an airplane wing is a condlstrictuon to the flow of air creating a low pressure area above the wing and thereby lift. Physics my guy. Increased velocity, lowered pressure. Sound level is pressure, lower sound level, lower pressure.

[@alexe589]

@@douglasfletcher718 The hot gas isn't sound. The sound is created when the hot gas slams into the cold dense air after the bullet exits. Suppressors don't work by speeding things up. They work by slowing down some of the gas so it doesn't all slam into the cold air at once. I think you also have a common misconception about airplane wing lift. Its the angle of attack that matters most, and how it creates a high pressure area under the wing. The curved top of the wing helps a little, but if that were the main source of lift then bi-wing stunt planes couldn't fly upside down.

@@noway6633 I have a titanium suppressor, & am almost to the 1k mark on it. I've had it for 1yr & 10mos. Explain to me how anyone can get "heavy use" out of their suppressor that isn't an operator who does it for a job. Seriously, you're overthinking it.

Flow though is cool but the warranty is iffy with some of them due to the 3D prints.

We can fix most issues with our Flow cans so warranty isn't an issue 🤙

Is there a suppressor that will work on 5.56 and on 308?

[@Soulseeker223]

308 suppressors usually also work on 5.56 rifles.

[@edporter9355]

Hi Guys. If you get a chance, ask HUXWRX if after cleaning with a solution, if blowing out the suppressor with a home garage style air compressor would cause any harm and if not could they come out with a threaded receiver plug to attach to the compressor hose. Just a thought about maintenance. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HUXWRX]

You can spray it our with an air compressor or shoot it out!

[@tonymcveigh8789]

That’s why you need a bolt action

[@bruceporter673]

It would be beneficial to discuss loss of velocity (range) and the effect on impact ,specifically foot pounds of energy .

[@SeventhCircle77]

None. Suppressors don’t reduce velocity or energy on target.

[@bruceporter673]

I have built suppressors for the U.S. government and that is contrary to what their contract requirement was. Range and impact requirements were in the contract.

[@SeventhCircle77]

@@bruceporter673 suppressors increase velocity by a small margin due to it essentially extending the barrel by allowing the gases to continue forcing the projectile forward for longer. Suppressors themselves dont decrease velocity.

[@georgewalker5569]

I feel like someone misunderstood POI shift vs changes in velocity.

[@bruceporter673]

My mistake. 58 years ago we were not building silencers to reduce noise but to try to eliminate as much noise as possible. In doing so we reduced velocities for specific ranges and required impact .
