    Suppressor recoil testing finally finished

    Here is the link for the video on my YT.

    If possible ask questions in the comments as this platform doesn't function well on my phone.

    The result of many hours of testing and lots of ammo.

    This testing was done with normal end caps on all suppressors.
    The brake end caps are much better at recoil reduction! Around 50% on a magnum

    Was just going to ask this. How many makers do the brake end caps?

    super informative cheers. did you find the end caps increased volume to a level that was unsafe without hearing protection?

    Yeah, those Gunworks cans just seem to keep doing the bizzo. Not the lightest or the most stylish new patterns to make the fanboi's cream but they just do the job. Backup is exceptional too.

    It’s like twice as heavy, would be pretty disappointing if it wasn’t the best performing for recoil/sound reduction

    I think that a "muscle break" is the cause of your current problem.(-:

    Nice work dude, thanks very much! I very much prefer hard data as opposed to ‘I think’….

    Biggest volume and dimensions too, no free lunches with that if you want that performance.

    At this stage the only manufacturers making brake end caps are
    Dpt
    Atec
    Maniatus
    The noise level on a 4" forward model is loud, I'd recommend using them on a 5-6" forward suppressor if possible.
