UM/S2H/Suppressors/Scopes and More!

Engineers love to make mountains out of mole hills in every application I’ve worked directly with them for the last 20+ years.

We tell them we want a pink elephant and they build us a purple rhino. Requirements exist from field users for a reason, they are the ones actually using the thing.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong I can't live without the guys! I work as a pm in IT and they are totally justified in some of their concerns, but other times it's like, damn dude let's come back to reality 🤣
 
The beauty of owning your own company. You can cater to or target a certain audience. If you deem an audience not important, exclude their desires from your processes. From the get go, i think it was clearly conveyed that this is a specific can with specific desires and wants. Maybe not near as scientific as others on the approach, but that way might not yield the desired results at the end. I'll try one of these cans when they are released.

I have built, welded and installed some of the stupidest, non functional shit you can imagine, because an engineer said so. Engineers engineering shit that doesn’t need to be engineered will be the death of me hahaha.

Tell me about it... I have made a lot of extra money fabbing and installing completely over engineered scopes though, so that's nice 😂
 
I'm sure the CFD and structural analysis could be quite interesting and might save a couple prototypes, but I agree at the end of the day that iterating with real physical prototypes and testing works as well or better. Especially when the risk and cost of destroying a prototype is so low. This is coming from an engineer in an extremely analysis heavy (and paralyzed) field.

To me the only "claim" that bears any real risk of liability would be a claim about the can being "hearing safe". That would force you to be very rigorous in your data collection and processing to make such a claim that would stand up in court for instance. So as long as they don't say that, I think they are fine without going crazy on the analysis front.

Also, when I got deep into looking at test data from various cans, it seemed like the one most dominant metric for sound suppression was just internal can volume. Maybe things like tone or pop or small changes in dB were influenced by baffle design in some way, but generally it seems like internal volume is the most important parameter to care about for noise.
 
The 3D printed OTB/reflex can by Unknown is, I imagine, going to be joined by offerings with a similar design by other manufacturers in the near future.

Many of which will be designed, modeled, tested, analyzed, and marketed by companies with bigger budgets and market share.

I think it's cool that Unknown is leading the charge in a way that makes sense for hunters. I hope they are duly rewarded with sales for starting the trend.

So you're saying you wanted a pink mag for that tikka? Cause that is what I heard. :p
