    The new Gen4 has had some good reviews in Europe and England and there are a lot more sold over there than in NZ .

    Only because they are way over engineered. I have heard the new standard Gen 4 cans were proofed to over magnum pressures in a British proof house. What that means I don't know. I haven't heard of any new ones blowing up though.

    I have an A-tec, if you don't mind muzzle forward they are bloody amazing. Much better than my old Gunworks for noise reduction.

    290 grams is pretty damn good for weight

    Are you saying that Gunworks have never had a failure, Spanners?

    Is this blow up issue because the barrel is off centre with the suppressor? Some guys treat their suppressors like they are made out of railway iron.

    ive heard form many people that hardys cans are "hardy hand grenades" dont no what it is about them but you seem to hear of a lot more hardy blow ups/bulges etc then any other manufacturer.
    Soem people swear by them though

    Nope, not saying that at all.
    Myself and anyone that I know that owns them haven't had any issues, which the same cant be said for Hardys.
    Some have had multiple failures and that combined with piss poor regard for safety and follow up service/issue rectifying give me this opinion.

    You may remember a while ago I backup hardy up over failures and issues. My stance changed when I entered the same boat.

    How many on this forum have had a gun works fail and how many have had a Hardy?

    My DPT one is good. I think he prices his basic cans realistically for what they are. I reckon a lot of NZ cans are way overpriced for what they are.

    Especially for the really basic tube ones that take 40 minutes to assemble and consist of $35 of materials
