Before I get flamed for it, I understand all the legal ramifications and requirements of manufacturing suppressors.
That being said, I've had a thought buzzing around in my head for a while, and wondered what thoughts anyone might have.
Would it be possible to build a suppressor out of high-pressure in-line filters? Either a single filter, with a can fitted around it, or even stack them around each other (small filter inside a larger diameter filter).
We have tons of these things lying around at work, and I think it would make an entertaining project.
My technical concerns are mostly with regard to the mesh size. Too fine of a filter would create very high pressures, and possibly destroy the integrity of the filter on the first shot. Too large of a mesh, and there will be a minimal effect of slowing the expanding gasses, and make the suppressor innefective.
SO... thoughts? ideas?
