New design for suppressors (instead of using baffles).
Some unique features folks might be interested in... reduced blow back pressure and maintaining timing on semi-auto bolt (reducing violent extraction of your firearm design). Only sticks out an additional 0.63" (unless you attach their SRM).
Major components: BPR - Back Pressure Regulator Screws on the muzzle of the barrel, replacing the standard flash hider.
SRM - Signature Reducation Module Screws onto the front of the BPR and further suppresses.
Cost: projected to be about 40-90% higher than regular high end baffle system designs.
I have not seen this before. Very interesting. From the looks of it and how it sounds in the sense of watching the video - it's more of redirecting and using the muzzle energy and dissperse rather than try to control and force it (baffle designs).
I guess there are variants specifically for SBR. The design covers the barrel so you'll need a free float type handguard so the housing of the suppressor can go back. So that is not the typical extension of a regular suppressor design (stick out front).

That was an EXCELLENT video... Really nice to see a knowledgeable expert in the field shed some light on some things that newbies like me might not have ever noticed.
Thanks for posting this.

So, from what I understand... if you are looking for a 7.62 can... you are looking around $800-$1500+ for a tradional baffle design. The range reflects the many different manufacturer's of 7.62 designs.
For this think around $1600-$2100? MRSP? Just a projection...

these guys have been bouncing around this design for some years now.
this design is primarily concerned with reducing backpressure. this comes at the expense of sound suppression.
there is nothing to be gained by the modular design, since you still have to pay tax stamps for the components. you'll end up paying as much for a multi caliber setup as you would for multiple traditional suppressors, which will be much quieter than the OSS anyway.
the timing and backpressure issues are only concerns for people with full auto. if you don't have a FA weapon then it's pretty pointless.

I would disagree. The backpressure is annoying. I will live with mine but it does blow back right into your face (on a rifle).
Since all the regular designs of suppressors has the backpressure issue... it's not talked about.
I did not realize that was an issue when I looked at buying my suppressor. It's not since almost all do it. But now there is an option that with this new design you don't have to have that pressure in your face.
No I don't have full auto (FA).
I guess I presented this as to show that there is a new design coming up and more to choose from. No it won't appeal to the masses but for those that want the latest and newest technology... and are willing to pay for it... might be interested.

The video claims 26 decibel reduction as measured at the shooter's ear. I can adjust my gas systems to reduce blow back and bolt speed on my semi-autos although it does nothing for blow back through the chamber. I would need to shoot it to have an opinion.
Their website claims to have developed the world's first and only modular silencer. I've seen other modular silencers so I think their claim is not true. http://sonicsilencers.com/technical-specifications/

they have also claimed zero poi shift which is not possible. attach anything to your barrel and you change the harmonics. the only way it can have zero poi shift is if it weighs zero. when challenged on that point, they did a silly song and dance trying to redefine what poi shift meant.
and yes, they are not the worlds first modular silencer. despite their claims.
