Anyone cut an Unknown Suppressor in half yet?

[WIDrake]

So after looking around a bunch I didn't find anything about one being cut open yet. Does anyone have info on the internals or pics of it being done that I just can't find? I'm curious to see what sort of design these have inside given that they're all printed. (I snagged 2 of the prototypes but don't have anywhere near enough money to sacrifice one myself)

Also, if I'm just a dumb fng and can't use the search correctly please lambast me appropriately!

The maker should show you whats inside.

For what point? The baffles design is simple- complicated designs performed worse.

People believe that super complicated or intricate baffles mean something- the only thing it means is that people go “oooo” and “aaah”. By and large complicated designs have no real effects on performance.

Why?

Also more nooks and crannies where carbon can accumulate.

That's good enough for me, thanks Form!

Main reason is knowing what I'm working with cleaning wise. Simpler means easier to keep clean and far less to worry about!

Why?

Why not, are they trying hiding something that a x-ray or a jail break wouldn't reveal anyway? There are NO secrets in this industry.

By that statement I don’t think you know anything about “this industry”. Looking inside of a can is the equivalent of the dorks trying to buy a new car but just having to pop the hood and stare at the motor- it’s literally telling you nothing. If you want to cut a UM can open, no one cares.

The whole “look inside” of cans is the BS sold to bumbling boobs.

Well, you are asking about a group of people including the owner that doesn’t clean cans. There are US cans with over 30,000 rounds on them.

Have you guys done any testing of the cans to compare performance after a large volume of rounds? Cans do accumulate carbon, and being an idot who works in the woods for a living and not in the industry, I assume that it eventually will impact performance. Now if that doesn't happen until 10k rounds then sweet, no big deal but if noticeable changes occur after only say 2k then that's something I'd care about. Id guess I average about 1.5k rounds a year

Yes I have seen lots of testing with a lot of different cans after lots of use. I general after they get carbon in them they sound better. One of the best sounding AR cans I have- that nearly everyone agrees sounds great- is 30 years old, was used heavily before I got it, and I have put over 60,000 rounds through it since.
