Suppressors Can I cool a hot supressor in water?

Official response from the manufacturer.
"Sudden cooling by immersion is not a good idea. Sprinkling water or snow on it is generally ok. Yes our warranty covers mistakes.
Thank you!"

Better write back and tell them they are wrong and internet experts know more. LOL
out of curiosity who makes your suppressor? Might of missed it thread got a little long and turned into a mud slinging contest on who knows more about metal.
Except your definition of cutting is too narrow. Your definition of oxidizing is cutting may be technically correct. But to everybody else cutting = making one piece into 2 along where you want it to go, is possible. Being technically correct with out trying to see something from somebody else's perspective makes you look like a douche.
If you later can see it from somebody else's perspective and explain it in a way that makes sense works. For example. Oxy acetylene won't "cut" stainless because cutting requires oxidation. Will it sever it? Sure. It does so by melting and blowing the melted away. Doesn't make a clean sever but it fits some definitions of "cut".
Reread your responses in that context and see why people are getting after you.
By your definition you can cut stainless by running it over repeatedly with a truck tire.
Sure, maybe it will eventually be in two pieces.
I didn't invent the definition of "cutting", and every single attempt any of you have made to argue this point are moronic.
I made a simple statement that is accurate and factual, and this has to be at least the third attempt to argue with a simple fact.
I realize that it's 2022 and everyone gets to live their own truth, regardless of reality, so if you want to identify as a non-binary snowmobile seat, then we are all supposed to pretend that it is so, but....... you can't cut stainless with a damn oxycetalene torch. Next

I do believe it’s a bit hopeless, my man. We’re either dealing with a fellow that is having a bad day or simply likes acting like an autistic computer running an OXY/ACY INFO followed by a PEEVED algorithm.
Or perchance, is the poster an actual peeved autistic computer with an oxy/acy database loaded up? Heavens!
Regardless, emotional understanding and subtly are not among his/its strong suits.
After all, I was the only guy who actually agreed with him and he went after me.
I guess I made the fatal mistake of explaining things and/or making a lighthearted suggestion that he take it down a notch in order to get some future good vibes.
May Saint Buddly bless this mess.

No, you're confused. You're ruled by the desire to be accepted and loved by faceless internet posters and you absolutely cannot fathom why i won't just bend the knee and succumb to the desires of people arguing against a simple fact. I do not base my own self worth on how people feel about me. I will always be unwilling to conform to a factually incorrect statement, regardless of how an anonymous group feels about it. I am a man of principle, and I'll die alone with my principles if I must. Your grandfather's were like me, and now most of you are just worried about how people will perceive you, and how it will effect your self worth. This is what social media has done to America, and in large part why we are in the shape we are in. I don't desire or value your opinion in this matter, and I don't need you to co-sign my statement. Facts are facts, and that's the only reality. I'm not here because I hope to be invited to the circle jerk.
Please see above post about FUCKING HIJACKING A THREAD.
Breakdown of this thread:
Should I dip my suppressor in water to cool it?
No just get a cover as it allows handling and cuts mirage.
Then.........

lol, not yet.I guess I missed it, did he get a can cover like Rob01 said back on page 1? How many more pages till we know,

Good grief. Sticking to principles is one thing, but that's not what you're doing. Refusing to see things any way except your own narrow definition is not "principles", it's arrogance.
You're acting all "holier than thou" about the definition of cutting - why don't you go look up that definition? It's not "oxidization".
The only one who's confused here is you, and you're stuck on what might be acceptable to a professional welder, rather than what can actually be done. A piece of thinner stainless can, in fact, be separated into two pieces with an oxy torch. That is "cutting". Is it pretty, and what a professional welder would like - no. Is it possible - yes. Get over it.
On top of that, as already mentioned earlier, additional materials can be used on the cut to allow oxy-acetylene to cut stainless well, even under your very narrow definition of "cut".

Actually, If I may interject once again... I spent 20 years as a professional welder and metal fabricator... And the literal defintinion of cutting something is making 1 thing into multiple things. I don't give a fuck what his arrogant Simple Jack interpretation of it is.
Inspired by SpaceX and the, I'm designing a cryogenically-cooled suppressor. If I use 321 stainless at -320°F, I should be able to cut the weight of the outer tube by up to 75%! Now, this estimate takes into account neither the need for a double-walled assembly nor the Dewer bottle and its liquid-nitrogen* contents; our top engineers are working hard on these problems between bong rips and I'm confident we'll soon have workable solutions.
*Liquid hydrogen would have worked even better as 321 picks up another 17% in UTS at -420°F, but early testing resulted in unacceptable muzzle flash and the new phenomenon of 2nd-through-nth-round-pop.
In a bid to make the heaviest PRS rifle in history I'm going to fill the stock with a bladder and small pump & radiator and water lines around the barrel & suppressor to water cool the setup.
As long as it's louder than those little barrel cooler bore fan things I can out-annoy the other competitors and hopefully gain a mental advantage.

So if a shooter is short of water, would urinating on the suppressor get them kicked off the range? Asking for a friend.
Depends on how well this shooter is hydrated. If some mofo who hasn't had a sip of water since 10th grade gym class decides to do this after washing down a couple of donuts with some coffee, I'm gonna have issues.
You probably wouldn't want to roast hot dogs or marshmallows right after that.
maxim didnt know what they were doing, we can do it better.
whats the cooling capacity of liberal tears?
Well, personally I would be more interested in @Ledzep liquid cooled rifle if he used single malt Scotch.
I don't want any bodily fluids from a leftist anywhere me or my firearms. haha
Cheers
gotta think of the ability to scale up here... the tears are endless. a good scotch takes about 12-14 years.
both are delicious
both are delicious

I would SLAY to see some goof show up with that gun at a PRS comp and shoot it on full-auto. Lol
“How does that guy keep on winning?” — unidentified PRS competitor
I have no idea if spraying at a long-distance target would result in a faster hit or not, but I want it to be true haha
LOL! But there was no wind and it even stunk the next morning! Unreal! Vile! Not recommended!
Just Piss on it
To get a good idea of what it is like to piss on a hot suppressor why not do it on a hot exhaust pipe. The effect will be the same.
A good place would be on an exhaust on a motorcycle outside a biker bar. The human reaction will be just as animated as that at a shooting range
Because to change the properties, one would have to get the cans to a sustained 1900 plus degrees and then drop it in water.. That's not happening with anyone..
if somone was actually serious they could try to fit an actual mini refrigeration unit on there. it might look a little steam punk. but it will definately keep your barrel cooler than water only.
It's bowling balls, not ball bearings.
Losing a ball bearing isn't particularly noteworthy.
Never heard it with bowling balls and it depends on the size of the ball bearing.
That's a great idea, I paid $50 for a chamber cooler that was a total POS and broke when dropped.
