The AFGHANIT57 is a 3d printable solid body flow through suppressor.
It was designed in response to the need for a lightweight 5.7x28 and .22mag suppressor capable of reducing the noise and flash signature of a pistol or rifle significantly.
The afghanit, being a flow through design with not only a secondary flow through channel system, with side-mounted vents, but ported X-Baffles allows for minimal muzzle gases in the shooter's face.
Being a flow-through, the overall suppression capabilitiy is somewhat limited, but it achieves a nearly hearing safe level of suppression with a 16in barrel, and significantly reduces sound signature from a pistol.
Currently, the release of the Afghanit will not include a version for tilt-barrel pistols such as the Fn Five-seveN, PSA Rock, or Ruger 5.7 (not that the ruger really has a good threaded barrel option).
It will, however, work well with the Smith and Wesson M&P5.7's rotating barrel system.
In PACF Tests it was able to withstand multiple magazines without failures, with the can itself reaching around 60 rounds of sustained fire before a thread failure.
If you plan on using it in pla the results will be significantly less but it will still be functional.
It has been successfully tested with 22 magnum and 22lr, and is very much capable of handling 17hmr, but the suppression performance will be less than if using a traditional baffled suppressor.
Additionally, if used with .17hmr, I cannot guarantee good function as the overbore will be significant. But it will work.
More to come on a dedicated small caliber can.
Version History (rough because it didnt get tracked well)
V3 - the current gamma release version, essentially improved by using a revised flowthrough channel system that mimics Hux's flow series of suppressors
V1-V2 - significantly improved on the first version, didnt solve some problems like the suppression not being great [BETA]
V0-V1 - first version worked but had poor performance. some features really sucked. [ALPHA]
Revision History
R2 - Updated documentation to Gamma Standard. Also added a nonfunctional cutaway display model
R1 - Initially Published Version Circa march 2024
