God I love that

@GrumpyGabe @Nutz
I got bored and did a thing. Here's a render of the parts I used for my AR

Looks like a nice setup... You know you can't not get a can for it sooner or later.

Render - you mean you modeled it yourself, or..?

Nice!

Gunstruction website/app lets you build ARs, since I didn't have a good pic handy I just put it together in their app and took a screenshot

I think I'm definitely going to get a can eventually, but they're pricey and the process is complicated enough that I'm hesitating based on that. But I'd really love to not blow my eardrums out if I ever need to use this in an emergency

Interesting... That site sounds like something I could waste a lot of time on...

Indeed

But it was a helpful learning tool for me

But yeah, would also be nice just in general when you're out at the range or w/e. Is it the same process / fee to manufacture your own as to buy one? - A question that popped into my head for no apparent reason when I stumbled across fuel filters on the wish app...

I have no idea, honestly. My plan was to go to a gun store that had a SilencerCo kiosk and purchase one through their system

I'm eyeing one that's made specifically for 300BLK

Makes things real quiet with the subsonic ammo

That's funny that they have a kiosk for that

makes sense though if they can make jumping through the hoops easy enough to get you to buy though

Yeah, I'm impressed with how much they've tried to streamline the process

So 300BLK all falls really close to the sonic threshold, so you can go above or below without much difference in mechanical function / gas management, right?

Never studied up on it much, but that was the impression I've got.

Yeah, it's a relatively slow round to begin with, so you can switch to really heavy subsonic ammo without any adjustments

Or so I think, you might have to make sure you've got the right weighted buffer if you've also got a silencer

It's definitely one reason I picked blackout over normal 5.56. When the barrel is that short, 5.56 is going to get really picky over the type of ammo you're using

But I should be able to load any random blackout round and it'll function just fine

Yeah, same principle as 9x39, from what I understand.

Plus you can use standard mags and you you don't lose any capacity

A lot of pros there.

Or so I understand about the magazines...

Yeah, the bullets are loaded into modified 5.56 brass, so any 5.56 magazine with hold the same number of blackout rounds

Being able to use the cheap / common mags is a big plus IMO.

If I decide blackout was a mistake, all I have to do is buy a replacement barrel to switch back to 5.56

Or to just have more options...

There's a *slight* risk that you can accidentally load a blackout round into a 5.56 chamber and make bad things happen, so I'm committed to only having one of those options at a time

yeah do not do that
