ATEC Suppressor experience, problems, and troubleshooting thread

[Pommy]

@JoshB, the difference between the 40, 45, and 50 is diameter (and therefore volume). For a 300wsm I'd suggest the Optima50 or the H3. Feel free to PM me.

@Bagheera, yes you need the brake end cap to get additional recoil mitigation. That's because no matter what trickery you do inside of a suppressor, the gas is part of a closed system and the forces will cancel out internally. E.g. if you have a brake inside a suppressor, some gas gets redirected backwards, counteracting recoil from the bullet. That gas then impinges on the back of the suppressor, increasing the recoil again... It's when the gas exits the suppressor where it becomes an open system. If it's venting forward, it's adding to recoil. If it can be redicted back/out, it can give you a net reduction in recoil.
