Now I’m curious as to why a flash can is not nearly as effectual. I understand the comp’s “face” effectively closes off the a portion of the escape route for gas, but does a can not work at all for noise reduction? I’ve heard 3-4 dB is what to expect which sounds good to me, and I was considering an extended slimline version (5”) of the KAK. That’s approx. 2.7 cu in of volume for expanding gases. That stretches to roughly 4.2 cu in for the standard diameter (don’t know the actual wall thickness, only the external diameter, thus approximating).
I want to believe this should be more effective than the linear comps I’ve run across, again based on length and overall volume. Not to hijack but any thoughts? Maybe adding a front plate like a comp or would that be dangerously close to manufacturing a suppressor?
