Thread: DPT braked cans

For those who shoot off a backpack, be careful where you rest the end of the mod...

What happened out of interest?

Had previously checked POI and was the same with the brake and without.

Awesome - This is what i wanted to hear

Just add to my previous comment. Spoke to my mate how was watching the same face about 100m away to my right, he said it sounded just like a suppressed rifle. My take is if they are a bit louder with the brake it is not a significant difference.

I have done a fair bit of testing with Braked end caps on my recoil sled.
They are very effective at reducing recoil and keeping you on target after the shot etc. Around 50% reduction on a magnum and 30-40% on standard calibres. (4" forward cans generally achieve around 10-14% reduction. 6" forward can achieve 20-25% reduction.
They do however make the sound travel to the shooters ear more and for me the sweet spot is using them on a decent 6" forward suppressor for the best of both worlds. No ringing ears in close bush etc and great recoil reduction. For the DPT cans, personally I'd run at least 6 baffles and then the brake end cap

The above is my testing of the Atec suppressors and their end caps

Keen to see DPT on your slide Jake

I've just finished testing 12 different supressors with normal end caps. The video should be ready by weekend.
It's been very interesting
