Thread: Supressor design question

Thicker is better then longer.

Much more volum by using a thick silencer.

Suppresor A: 8cm Diameter and 10cm length has a 500cm3 volume.
Suppresor B: 4cm Diameter and 20cm length has a 250cm3 volume.

So, short fat... or long fat.


This is a Norwegian silencer. Optima 60 is just 16mm thicker then Optima 45, but 6db or 4x more suppression.

Optima 45 - 44.4mm diameter - 29 dB (230mm length) 320cm3
Optima 60 - 60mm diameter - 35dB (230mm length ) 650cm3
