DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION<br />
Silence is Science. <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Armament</strong> is provid<strong>in</strong>g sonic camouflage for the next generation warfighter with a design philosophy called SCILENCE, blend<strong>in</strong>g<br />
state-of-the-art computer design and high-tech metallurgy to choose optimum baffle shapes, spac<strong>in</strong>g, and materials.<br />
But successfully choos<strong>in</strong>g the world’s best materials is only half the story. New ideas demand new technologies, and sometimes break<strong>in</strong>g with conventional<br />
assembly methods such as hand applied spot welds or adhesives. We <strong>in</strong>vented a new assembly technique that uses robot welders to fuse each component <strong>in</strong>to a<br />
module us<strong>in</strong>g full-penetration circumferential welds. These monolithic assemblies are encased <strong>in</strong> outer tubes us<strong>in</strong>g the same robotic fusion weld<strong>in</strong>g. To elim<strong>in</strong>ate<br />
the effects of heat distortion from weld<strong>in</strong>g, a taper-bore Electro Discharge Mach<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g (EDM) process is applied to ensure the central aperture through the silencer is<br />
concentric with the bore of the rifle. This assembly process provides the accuracy and m<strong>in</strong>imal zero-shift that our users demand. Is this the easiest or cheapest way<br />
to put a silencer together? No way, but this is the formula that allows us to challenge the limits of conventional th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g and produce the best silencers on the planet.<br />
BLACKOUT <br />
13<br />
<strong>was</strong> founded with the goal<br />
of develop<strong>in</strong>g smaller, lighter, more durable and efficient<br />
silencers to meet the constantly chang<strong>in</strong>g demands of<br />
the battlefield. Most models <strong>in</strong> the BLACKOUT l<strong>in</strong>e have<br />
been developed <strong>in</strong> collaboration with <strong>in</strong>ternational arms<br />
manufacturers and government entities for deployment with<br />
military end users.<br />
BLACKOUT model suppressors are <strong>in</strong>dicated<br />
