I will post more about the reason for the different events as time permits. For now, the information that I have:




308 win, 20” barrel, M118LR
The first video the hub adapter got stuck on the barrel and I had to get a wrench. I am including it for transparency. The second is the full one.

Scythe averaged 132.2 dBA



Full run-

Scythe averaged 130.1 dBA



Control TBAC UL7 Gen 2 averaged 131.1 dBA


6.5 CM, 20” barrel, Hornady 140gr
Standby

No surprises there. Thanks Form.

Was the end cap failure (loss) a result of the titanium suppressor body? Or the aluminum anchor brake? Or do you know?

Also its interesting that the can didnt separate at a weld like the documented failures. Can you say what caused it to come apart and cause the separated baffle you posted a photo of?

It looks like you intentionally destroyed it with the .556 is that correct?

I am looking at this can for a bolt action.

Then look at the Scythe failure thread. Plenty of people have had them blow up on even mild bolt actions.

I will look. Did not know that.

I just skimmed the long thread. I will start looking at nomad ti xc I guess. Maybe see what else looks good

Looks like it was just a failed end cap- that’s not a big deal.

The can bulged at the weld like most of failures, and it absolutely will fail there if shot at all. As for the baffle- it isn’t just one. Most of the inside of the can is a disaster- there are entire sections of multiple baffles missing, and the rest look like a tornado went through them. As for why- it’s because the can is dangerously, ridiculously thin.

I was thinking the photo you posted friday of the single baffle was from this can but it must not be if the can is still largely in one piece.
