Thread: suppressor failure

Wirehunt.

The manufacturer is very important. Ask yourself this question; if Ford recalls a model because of an electronic fault does it involve any Holden cars? ;-)

Those DPT cans are getting light, ever heard of them failing? I haven't.

Gear fails from time to time. It wears out, has a fault at the start etc. as long as it's remedied correctly and no one is hurt I can't see it being a deal breaker.

If people want cans that won't fail, then let's go back to stainless blast baffles and all stainless suppressors.
They weigh a ton but they are unlikely to fail.
When you use alloy, then it will get weak over time. Its just the metal.

And as always, nothing lasts forever.

The DPT/Atec/Roedale style with screw together baffles machined from solid aluminium seem to be about an order of magnitude less likely to fail than the ones with baffles stuffed in a tube. Yes they'll wear out faster than steel but who cares, they're a cheap wear part.

Fords are only recalled to make them cooler. Holdens................

Is your Ford a twin turbo? Or is that only with you in it?😆

Maybe for you. But for me if they don't do at least two rifles they are crap. I don't think 16-18000 rounds is asking to much. They are getting close to the cost of a rifle themselves.
Atec is definitely louder than a Waitaki.

But it will probably involve a Mazda.

Waitaki quietness is irrelevant because at 700 grams it weighs over 3 times as much and it's got no place in my life

Mine weighed 640.
And the quietness isn't irrelevant , because, noise supressor = Quietness.

anything more than approx 300 grams is too heavy to be practical for what I want, so therefore if it weighs more than that, how quiet it is is irrelevant


and w/r/t "640 grams", I never specified what it weighed more than 3x more than....

In this day in age, quite possibly- Look at the Takata airbag issue. Some car brands have issued recalls, others have not. Because they are safer? Not at all, rather because they do not want to admit it. If that was to be a reason for a recall, I would actually buy the brand that issued the recall as they would be being up front with their customer.

Every business will have a failure or complaint of some issue at some point. I maintain it is not the failure or complaint itself that is the issue but the way that it is dealt with and sorted that will separate a good business from a bad one.

Well I just wasted half an hour of my life that I will never get back on a thread about NOTHING.
9 pages of bs and moaning. Yawn

But it wasnt a waste of time to let everyone know it was a waste of time aye

Anything man made can have flaws in it
Is there any major damage to the rifle
