SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

Yes. I’ve stated repeatedly for a reason- catastrophic failure of a suppressor for any reason is really, really bad. It is functionally a pipe bomb on the end of your rifle, and people think it’s cool to go “super, extreme lightweight” as if you aren’t trading massive safety margins for it. Even using a suppressor in a way it isn’t meant for- say a short barrel 5.56 AR15 and doing rapid fire; the can should not have a catastrophic failure. Baffle wear is fine, cans coming apart, end caps breaking on one piece designs, baffles bending or having extreme tearing or pieces missing: all are very, very bad.

Unfortunately hunters and shooters are ignorant and want to believe in magic. I predict that we will see more and more failures of new cans as people race to the bottom for weight, even with, or maybe especially with printed cans.

So what do you think about airlock zero gravity cans? Those seem to be pretty far on the lightweight spectrum

I haven’t used one. My thoughts on what they showed and why are in the ZG thread.
