Through years of R&D, CPD has developed a suppressor that statistically optimizes the relationships between Sound, Recoil and Back Gassing/Blowback. Through extensive R&D using sophisticated instruments, we have studied the relationship between these elements and how to optimize the outcomes of all three in order to find the perfect balance for extremely safe firearm use for the operator with decreased exposure to harmful sound and pressure levels, without increased toxic exposure. The result of this work is BOE Suppression.
The BOE Suppression System represents a paradigm shift in firearm suppressor technology, addressing the critical challenges of back pressure and back gassing while maintaining unparalleled acoustic performance. Our advanced engineering achieves a synergy of operator safety, firearm reliability, and cutting-edge modularity.
Weapon suppression with little-to-no back gassing and back pressure
Back gassing and back pressure have always been natural byproducts of suppressing firearms, but all next-gen suppressor requirements are forcing these byproducts to be addressed and reduced.
a) Suppressor back pressure increases the cyclic rate of the firearm, which has the negative effects of increasing recoil, decreasing controllability, and drastically increasing the wear-and-tear of the firearm’s components, thus making it less reliable or needing increased service intervals. The excess cyclic rate of the firearm will commonly decrease a firearm’s reliability by pushing the feeding cycle too fast to a point that the ejection of spent cases and the feeding of the next cartridge will overlap, creating stoppages in the feeding operation. BOE suppressors are designed first and foremost to nearly eliminate all back pressure during the firing cycle.
b) Suppressor back gassing is in the similar area of back pressure as they are usually “two sides of the same coin,” but it is the effect on the weapon operator that is the main point to note here. Back gassing from the use of a suppressor is first and foremost extremely toxic and has been traditionally viewed as the price for saving your hearing. In recent years though, there has been tremendous expansion into the research of heavy metal exposures on the human body both mentally and physically and the use of a traditional suppressor greatly increases the exposure of the operator as high back gassing jets these toxic fumes directly into the respiratory system as well as the eyes. Not only is the toxic exposure a hazard, but the hot gasses being vented in the user’s face creates additional impairments on being able to use the weapon effectively and accurately. The BOE Suppression system focuses on nearly eliminating the back gassing and significantly reduces toxic exposure for the operator of the firearm even more so than firing the weapon un-suppressed as the suppressor adds some level of containment of the muzzle blast gasses and particles.
Low back pressure with the sound performance of a traditional suppressor
Low back pressure suppressors are becoming more common in our market, but they have always had the unfortunate but natural trade off of not being very quiet. This was always viewed by end users as a simple decision they needed to make for themselves on what was more important. The BOE Suppression system delivers the at-ear performance of traditional sealed / high back pressure suppressors while also having the highly sought after performance of high flow or low back pressure suppressors. This balance is accomplished through the use of the following design paths.
a) Unique geometry of the suppressor core that maximizes both the internal air volume of the suppressor as well as the internal surface area for sound and gas to make contact with. Both aspects are critical to the suppression of a firearm and traditionally have always been a trade off for suppressor manufacturers as they can either have one or the other, akin to a sliding scale. The reason that our cores are 3D printed is because additive machining is required to achieve the critical geometry that cannot be done with traditional machining.
b) Multi-chamber redirection of the gasses produced from the muzzle during firing is how high-flow is achieved. Through our unique geometry we are not simply redirecting this gas and then letting it flow out the front as other brands are doing (the main reason they are “loud”) but rather, the BOE System is equalizing the pressure and gas almost instantly and evenly throughout the suppressor before venting the gasses.
Mono-core suppressor design with next-gen performance
Mono-core suppressor design is a design that has been around since the beginning of firearm suppressors. It is essentially, as the name implies, a suppressor that has the baffles or internal structure machined from one piece and simply sealed in with the use of a removable or permanent tube. The drawbacks to these traditionally is that these suppressors are usually heavy and are usually limited in their performance when suppressing high pressure rifle cartridges compared to more common, stacked baffle designs. The main positive attribute that mono-core suppressors have always had though, is the ability for the user or owner to disassemble the suppressor and inspect, service, and clean the system, which is critical to the longevity of the item. The BOE design incorporates the positive attributes of the mono-core design while ALSO providing a high performance, low back pressure suppressor, which is something that is unique and uncommon.
True Caliber-Specific Modularity
Modular suppressors are available from almost every suppressor manufacturer on the market today, but their version of modularity is very rudimentary as they are simply giving the end user the option to add or subtract length to their suppressor. While this has some effect when using different calibers or weapon systems, in our opinion, it isn’t true modularity. Every caliber has a generally unique way in which they work aside from the fact that bullets are different diameters. As an example .30 caliber bullets (7.62 mm) are used in an extremely wide variety of cartridges, but each of these cartridges have very unique characteristics and thus, are suppressed in very different ways because of the speed of the projectile and pressure profile that the cartridge exhibits. The BOE approach is much more unique as we offer the customer the ability to purchase their suppressor as a kit with multiple caliber-specific cores. The 3D-printed core of our suppressor utilizes the mono-core design, thus making the product easy to disassemble, service, and reassemble.
