Otter Creek Labs has announced the roll out of the Infinity suppressor and currently available for purchase through Silencer Shop.
Otter Creek Labs states “Infinity — We decided to call this project Infinity early on because we wanted this to be a suppressor that will last you forever, you can pass down to your grandchildren and it last them forever too. Also because of it’s adjustability and ability to be configured to any host you have. It’s also marks our entry into the low back pressure market. Notice I didn’t say no back pressure, I said lowER back pressure.
We wanted this suppressor to straddle the line of suppressors with zero back pressure that sound like a pipe bomb and suppressors with high back pressure that sound great. There’s no free lunch when it comes to sound suppression. You either have a suppressor that’s loud with zero gas to the face or you have a suppressor that’s quiet with some uncomfortable gas to the face, it just is what it is. We wanted a suppressor that could ride the middle ground line and venture to both sides of the line depending on what the user wanted.
There’s all kinds of fancy marketing words you could come up with for it that will make you sound smart. Hybrid adjustable flow path technology being calculated by a super computer in a lab and optimized by an AI program in real time. Engineers applying echolocation quantum mechanics for the absolute refraction of performance. Don’t forget to throw something about aerospace or secret military teams and operators in there somewhere. But it’s all so generic, predictable, typical, boring and most of all… bull shit.
So let’s cut through the bull shit and get down to the nitty gritty of what this suppressor does and what makes it unique. We knew we wanted it to be 7.62 bore with changeable end caps. We knew we wanted it to have great 7.62 performance but let’s not kid ourselves, 99% of users buying a 7.62 bore suppressor are using it on 5.56 most of the time. So the 5.56 performance also had to be on point. We developed the general sound profile using 7.62 and then further dialed it in and refined it using 5.56 – we made over 100 prototypes in almost 2 years of testing finding just the right combination that does just as good on 5.56 as an actual 5.56 bore suppressor while still offering great 7.62 performance AND works well being vented or unvented.
It has 3 different end caps that come in the box to adjust the back pressure and flow rate based on what host you want to use it on. Additional end caps are available for purchase separately. Other suppressors in the past have tried this idea, adjusting back pressure by changing end caps that allow it to vent from other chambers. But in our opinion they didn’t do a good job – great idea but poor execution. So we wanted to take that idea and make it good and I believe we’ve done that. How we did it is the inside of the infinity is actually divided up into 4 chambers. The first initial expansion chamber vents gas straight off of the muzzle as it enters the suppressor > the second is a high back pressure chamber that holds the gas while allowing a small amount of controlled flow into the third chamber > the third chamber is where gasses coming down the bore and gasses from the high back pressure chamber combine before going into the fourth chamber > the fourth and final chamber is a low back pressure high flow rate zone that moves gasses down the side wall. When you use the vented end cap it’s only venting gasses out of the fourth chamber which allows it to be very balanced. When using the vented end cap the pattern is vent > hold > combine > vent. When using the solid end cap the pattern is vent > hold > combine > hold.”
