Thread: Rubber wipes in DPT suppressor

[QUOTE=Cordite;775625]This image is from your link. Looks like several handfuls of car bulkhead grommets, ???from the first stage of the suppressor??? Weird.

Yes, those Sionics suppressors used hollow rivets as an absorbsion system. I don't know that it was any better than anything else on the market. Pistol calibres with their slow heavy compact bullets perform best through wipes. Pre-perforated wipes work best, and neoprene is slightly superior to rubber or leather, but all of them still degrade very quickly (10-15 rounds max). That is perfectly acceptable for covert military use.
