El desarrollo de sistemas supresores de sonido para armas de fuego ha sido siempre un verdadero desaf\u00edo en el cual coexisten la eficiencia real del sistema Vs el peso y volumen del dispositivo a ser colocado en la boca del ca\u00f1\u00f3n. La compa\u00f1\u00eda estadounidense\u00a0MIDDLEBRANCH Machine\u00a0ha presentado un desarrollo verdaderamente innovador, que combina las excelentes propiedades de bajo peso y alta resistencia de las fibras de carbono, con el empleo del moderno sistema de fabricaci\u00f3n aditiva, conocido como 3D printing. Si bien se trata de un desarrollo en etapa de ensayos y evaluaciones, se presenta como una interesante soluci\u00f3n, para satisfacer una demanda creciente de supresores de sonido, para empleo en las tropas convencionales.<\/p>\n

\"\"Canton Ohio custom gunmaker Middlebranch Machine\u00a0has released a teaser image of a new kind of suppressor,<\/a>\u00a0which they say is made of \u201ccarbon fiber composite\u201d construction. Unlike previous efforts at making carbon fiber suppressors,\u00a0Middlebranch Machine\u2019s design\u00a0does not\u00a0seem to use a straight carbon-fiber tubing\u00a0body, but appears to be\u00a03D printed<\/a>, instead. This is strongly suggested by the background of the image which shows a customized\u00a0Glock<\/a>\u00a0with a unique looking suppressor in front of what is probably\u00a0a Markforged Mark Two<\/a>\u00a0carbon fiber 3D printer. Mark Twos are some of the only carbon fiber\u00a03D printing<\/a>machines in the world.<\/p>\n

There have been few previous attempts at making suppressors out of carbon fiber. Though\u00a0light<\/a>\u00a0and strong, carbon fiber tubing is not an especially good material for making suppressors. YouTuber gommie404 has a very interesting and entertaining video (embedded below) on constructing homemade aluminum\/carbon fiber hybrid suppressors. In the video, he notes that straight carbon fiber\u00a0tubeseventually fail, as the propellant gasses eventually stretch and work\u00a0their way through the fibers, resulting in wall breaches. This phenomenon evidently plagued the carbon fiber suppressors made by\u00a0Shooter\u2019s Depot some years ago.<\/p>\n
