This video provides an expert-level look at suppressor performance and heat management, featuring Tim, a recognized subject matter expert. It details testing the shortened SilencerCo Salvo 12 on a Kel-Tec KSG and the Griffin Armament Recce 7 on a Century Arms C39V2, utilizing thermal imaging and infrared thermometers to quantify heat dissipation with the FTW-HAD suppressor wrap. The guide also covers testing subsonic 12 Gauge loads for noise and recoil reduction.

Quick Summary

Expert Tim demonstrates advanced suppressor testing, using thermal imaging and infrared thermometers to measure heat dissipation on a Kel-Tec KSG with a shortened SilencerCo Salvo 12 and a Century Arms C39V2 with a Griffin Armament Recce 7. The FTW-HAD suppressor wrap proved effective, reducing surface temperature from over 566°F to 97°F.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the FTW-HAD suppressor wrap affect suppressor temperature?

The FTW-HAD suppressor wrap significantly reduces surface temperature. After firing 60 rounds, the wrap kept the surface at 97°F, while the bare suppressor underneath reached over 566°F, allowing for safer handling and reduced mirage.

What are the benefits of using a shortened SilencerCo Salvo 12 suppressor on a Kel-Tec KSG?

Using the 6-inch shortened version of the SilencerCo Salvo 12 on the Kel-Tec KSG reportedly improves the firearm's balance and maneuverability compared to the full-length 12-inch model, enhancing the shooting experience.

What issues were observed when suppressing the Century Arms C39V2?

When suppressing the Century Arms C39V2 with the Griffin Armament Recce 7, significant gas blowback was noted. The test also encountered a magazine-related malfunction, indicating potential tuning or reliability concerns under suppression.

What kind of Federal ammunition was tested with the suppressed KSG?

The video tested Federal Top Gun Subsonic 12ga Target Loads. These loads are characterized by low recoil and a stated velocity of 900 feet per second, aimed at further reducing noise and managing recoil in a suppressed shotgun setup.
