Shotgun Suppressors

Not sure how they work, but these look neat. I wonder if you can fire shot through them? Seems like they’d strike the baffle. Good for gun clubs that have sound restrictions. And at £98.50 (about $176), I realized that we Americans get screwed when it comes to suppressors.

    Apparently you can shoot shot through them, it talks about patterns and mentions using them with their subsonic #6 shot loads. Presumably the construction prevents the shot from hitting the baffles.

    Yeah, I just don’t see how.

    Interesting…i’d like to see a schematic of it to see how exactly it works without destroying itself on the first shot and how well it will hold a pattern.

    I can guess how it works. It’s probably a tube with a bunch of small holes drilled in it, sorta like a ported barrel. Gas escapes the tube into the suppressor, cooling and storing it for slower, quieter release after the shot column passes out out of the weapon.

    Just my WAG.

    Looks like the must be using some type of sabot round. Interesting to say the least but wait till some yo-yo decides to go bird hunting with few of their old bird-shot rounds they have laying around the house.

  6. Nate Says:

    Eg, remember… the shot column already has “some sort of sabot.” It’s the plastic wad. The challenge I’d think it’d have would be to keep the wad from separating from the shot before the end of the barrel. Hmm… what if there was a ported section of the barrel at the beginning of the silencer (with baffles going to the front of the silencer/barrel). That way, the wad won’t separate from the shot until it’s past the holes. You could improve the pattern a bunch if you managed to keep the wad and shot together until it leaves the barrel, but by having porting at the front only, the shot couldn’t leave it’s “sabot” and damage the baffles.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
