Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Q_Sertorius]

I imagine this has been discussed but at 61 pages and counting, I’ll just ask again.

Whats the advantage of the caliber specific vs for example getting a .284 for everything at and below 284? The obvious answer is weight and length savings…is that the only advantage?

Muzzle forward suppressors typically offer a small (~1 dBA) advantage if they are closer to the rifle’s caliber. That’s why the conventional wisdom was to go the more economical route and get a .30 caliber can for everything .30 caliber and below. Why get a dedicated .224 or .243 or .264 can when you could get a more versatile .30 caliber can that is only about 1 dBA louder and handles everything?

Reflex suppressors usually benefit more from being closer to the rifle’s caliber (2-3 dBA). That’s one reason why the OG 6.5 is a much better suppressor than the OG [30] for .264 caliber and below.

I would expect the Airlock cans to be more like the normal muzzle forward suppressors (relatively small advantages), but Danny is probably the best to explain it. My guess is that his design process benefits from building each suppressor around a specific caliber to come up with an optimal length, weight, and diameter ratio for a given amount of suppression. I also think that he is marketing to people who are interested in specializing. His suppressors are not big, heavy, do-everything suppressors. They are designed to be optimal for hunting situations where a low-volume of fire is expected.

I also think that we are at the stage where more and more people are interested in using specific suppressors on specific rifles. They don’t intend to only have one suppressor they use for all their rifles.

I’d be more than happy to pay a deposit for a spot in the queue on a 6mm

Danny, any top secret preliminary specs you can disclose for the .30 cal can?????? We won't hold you to the numbers if revised between now and release date!
