Suppressor Covers...

[KiloKilo]

Maybe just me, but 100 bucks don't seem bad....considering what everything else cost.

Ok man I'm not sure what a dick measuring debate has to do with anything, but anyways I'm sure the FTW is a top notch product. As mentioned by another guy above suppresor covers are truthfully meant to be used as "mirage" shields for precision shooting anyways and actually trap heat in as you shoot, so having said that I honestly don't recommend running them on carbines all that much.

Would temperatures on a suppressor be hot enough to melt paracord?

Yep! I'd think so. I've seen temps on a barrel (M60) hot enough to light a cigarette.

I've seen a couple vids showing the paracord/550 cord melting with extreme use.

You need 3 things to start fire. Heat, Fuel & Oxygen.

True, generally speaking. I always thought it was "source of ignition" (which includes heat), Fuel & oxygen.

Almost 20 years of fire fighting and I'm just figuring that out. LOL

I use an oven mitt for that task.

This. In fact, every time you buy a suppressor through The Silencer Shop, they include just such an oven mitt in the deal. It's got their logo on it.

EDIT: I have NO connection with The Silencer Shop--except as a satisfied customer.

At the current rate I have (hopefully) no more than another month before I receive my suppressor stamp.

Thought I'd revive this thread instead of making a new one.

I've been looking at some of these biathlons like Battleroadusa and it brought up some interesting questions.

If you're not at a bench and actually moving/running/climbing/obstacles between shooting stages would a cover keep you from burning the crap out of yourself? Anyone used one in this capacity? Any first hand experience?

Short answer, Yes. unless you play with the tip. LOL

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

So...just the tip?
