This video tests the extreme limits of modular suppressors, specifically the Q Erector 9 and Erector 22, by assembling them to their maximum length of 69 sections. While the Erector 9 proved surprisingly robust and quiet with subsonic 9mm, the Erector 22 suffered significant baffle strikes and accuracy degradation, highlighting the challenges of extreme suppressor length and bullet alignment.

Quick Summary

The Q Erector 9, assembled to its maximum 69 sections, performed surprisingly well, remaining rigid, maintaining accuracy, and proving exceptionally quiet with subsonic 9mm ammunition. In contrast, the Q Erector 22 experienced severe baffle strikes and accuracy degradation at maximum length.

Frequently Asked Questions

What were the results of testing the Q Erector 22 suppressor at its maximum length?

The Q Erector 22, assembled to its maximum 69 sections, suffered significant baffle strikes. This resulted in internal damage, lead fragments, and severe accuracy issues, indicating it failed under extreme length.

How did the Q Erector 9 perform when tested at its maximum length?

The Q Erector 9, also at its maximum 69 sections, performed surprisingly well. It remained rigid, maintained accuracy, and was exceptionally quiet, especially with subsonic 9mm ammunition, showing impressive robustness.

What are the main challenges with extremely long modular suppressors?

Key challenges include 'droop' caused by the suppressor's weight, which can affect bullet trajectory, and a higher probability of baffle strikes as the bullet's path deviates from the bore's center.

What safety measures were taken during the testing of the long suppressors?

For the .22 LR testing, a ballistic shield was used for safety, and a string-pull firing mechanism was employed for the full-length configuration to mitigate risks associated with potential baffle strikes.
