I am far less cynical and much more appreciative of suppressors now because of you and because of DMLS lmao. Now the people with actual engineering abilities and creativity will finally get to shine and you'll be able to show us how much they really do
@@TheJaySituation Yeh it's honestly become a bit of a sickness for me. It was actually starting to interfere with my sleep and work haha. I definitely relate to your passion and also the ways you approach these things. And also find myself in the same position in terms of personality and social perspective. I don't understand people who prefer to be ignorant or are unwilling to actually do the work to understand what they 'think' they may know about something, yet they seem to have no problem with parroting any stupid meme-y information they may hear online about a product. And with how broken google search has become in the last 4 years, it's become extremely difficult to find research-backed information on pretty much anything related to firearms without straight up messaging engineers or program managers at larger companies or administrative leaders/armorers in the actual military to ask for books/papers/published research to read.
Thank you again! I will be going through all the candy as suggested but have you ever noticed the FRP of the really Sour candy, second one is always less severe....
Jay, you mentioned Oak Ridge Lab, have you seen that they just tested a new DMLS superalloy with niobium that can potentailly withstand up to 2400*F? Thoughts on this?
Sorry, to clarify one point: aren't the blast momentum transfer potentials noticeably higher on most/all suppressors as they get hotter? Hotter suppressor means hotter/higher pressure blast out the front, right? Or are you only saying that the Hux cans are especially prone to increased blast momentum transfer potential in a way that is even more *significantly* notable to a human observer, whether in the free field or not?
Yes, all cans get louder as they get hotter, but different designs react to heat build up differently. For reference, read/listen to the reports for either the Enticer L or the Mach-L. One of them shows very similar runaway when they get hot (I forget which but I know he mentioned it on one or both of them). ::EDIT:: It's in writing on the Mach-L review on .308. Research Note 4.
I actually almost cancelled my CAT Alleycat556 Ti when I saw your Flow 556 Ti review get posted haha. It was a very compelling write up and set of results, but ultimately I still opted for the Alleycat because my gun is 16" and I kinda prefer to keep it that way because I live in the desert in Utah lmao. 9.9-10.9oz total weight for both suppressor + Spooky device, with that much performance on a 14.5-16", was too good to pass up imo. I'd say both are incredible options, but honestly, if I was running a 10.3" or 11.5", I think I'd actually pick the Hux instead
You talking about reflex suppressors in the context of HUXWRX is making me want to stick an Otter Creek OPS Hub adapter into a Ventum 556…you know, for science.

@@rondobrondo exciting, right?!

@@mattdeadtube hmmm you may be on to something....
😂😂😂 bro I know right
That’s what I’ve been waiting for all my life.
really? lol

@@SolutreanSpear I would need to look into it. That sounds cool!
It'll be super expensive if true but that would be incredible.

I have a Sig Sauer MCX Spear-LT in 5.56mm with a 11.5 inch barrel and am saving up for a HUXWRX Flow 556TI.
Should be a fun setup!

@@rondobrondo the CAT stuff is absolutely insane. So many great options now, man.
Mornin' Sir
good morning!
The flow ti sounding really nice out here
@@williamboggs1682 they have certainly improved stuff
Great info but the repetitive sound/noise of you swallowing into the mic is rather distracting
@@feels-road9529 thanks for the feedback!

@@ToastbackWhale do it and report back! Lol
How was their apparatus? 😏
Measured up to speck 👌🏻
🤣😅
lol sir, this is a family show
Ohhhh snap…🍑🇺🇸
indeed
