So I've got a question about the foam suppressors that so many P* users have. Is there a place you can buy them? I'm well aware they can't be made in the US, but I want to get an idea of where to look. I've already checked Google, but I'm only getting threads talking about them or selling them from RedWolf or some other Chinese/Hong Kong site selling the suppressor frame..
If you have an idea, it would be extremely appreciated if you were either PM me the info or post it here. If there isn't a place to buy the whole deal, is there some sort of special foam you use to fill the suppressor?
Thanks,
Matic

Pick one you like and buy it from one of the overseas shops (PX, EB, Shooter, etc.) like everyone else does. It's no secret that all the imported cans come with foam in them whereas the U.S. versions don't.
The foam is just regular open cell foam cut and bored to size.

I've always wondered what the point of the foam is. Can anyone elaborate on why it's widely used?

It muffles the 'pop' that you get when the air escapes the end of the inner barrel when shooting.
It works with AEG's, but is especially noticeable with PTW's and Polar Star's.

US versions aren't supposed to come with foam in them? The one I ordered from Airsoft Megastore came with foam in it. www.airsoftmegastore.com/6712-ams-armory-aluminum-mock-suppressor-ama-cga-ms04b-190mm.aspx |

Most don't cause the stores don't wanna deal with the 'It actually suppresses sound, Obabo and the gubment' gonna come and get us' issues that everyone gets swept up in.
Although, that's more of a aluminum tube with threads in the end type can, I've only got first hand experiences with the replica ones that are based off real world versions (KAC, AAC, etc.)
which usually never come with foam if they originate from a U.S. store.

Doesn't the gubberment realize that any of these replica suppressors would most likely explode if you shot anything real through them?

I know a certain member that had a whole shipment seized because of a KAC can. This is also the same clowns who think a GBBR upper can make your AR an FA "machine gun". It seems its like playing craps with better odds. Most orders get through but every once in awhile you can end up being made an example of. |
