PTR Vent Suppressor: 3D Printed Titanium Foam
This video reviews PTR's new "Vent" line of suppressors, which utilize 3D-printed titanium foam to achieve sound suppression. The design draws inspiration from older wire mesh suppressor concepts but employs modern additive manufacturing for a finer porosity. Key features include minimized back pressure for unhindered firearm operation and reduced gas blowback to the shooter's face, along with a lightweight design. However, the video notes a high price point and the necessity for periodic cleaning (every 1000-1500 rounds) to prevent carbon buildup in the porous material, which is a trade-off to consider.
