Ill post what I put elsewhere. it explains alot.
"Background: I can get in on a local shop getting a manufacturing license. The owner decided to keep a State Arms Rebel 50 that he got in some trading and is thinking about a silencer for it since pretty much everything he has has a can on it. 50 cans are REDICULOUSLY expensive. Also, I am in a Noise Control class which will have a project at the end for developing a solution for a noise problem.(Mechanical engineering...group project).
Idea: If the shop(including me) gets a manufacturing license on top of their SOT and everything else, connections are in place for machine work, testing, etc. I can see if I can get a few ppl in the class together to design and verify the safety of a 50 bmg can...if the instructer allows it, then we can come up with a design and run the numbers on it, the shop can do the paperwork and manufacture it, and I can log it out and borrow testing equipment along with the rifle and ammo for testing the designs effectiveness. This would save the owner money as he could simply make his own can instead of spending $1500-2000 on one. If it is effective enough, it would also make for a good product for the manufacturing aspect to begin on.
If this is done, I cna get in on the ground floor of a manufacturing company as a designer/tester/etc. The owner would have a means of getting products designed and tested. And I would not be out much money and possibly be able to have another can I design for myself make for cheap or free.
?s:(not alot of time to research right now)
1)what pressures does a 50 bmg generate?
2)what decibel levels does an unsuppressed 50 generate?
3)any input on how/to, suggestions, etc
I plan on trying to come up with an effective baffle design once the class actually gets into more of the barrier/absorption/etc part of acoustics and I was thinking of designing my own 9mm can, but this way i wouldnt have to pay the form 1 cost, materials cost, or manufacturing costs. I would just design and along with a couple friends run numbers to make sure a proper safety factor is built in.
4)Has anyone done their own 50 can? "
thanks
