Ti Fighter Industries is a solution-based engineering company that was founded when the need arose to develop new suppressor technology that solved the current issues associated with today’s firearm suppressor systems. Ti Fighter industries' parent company, SI Motorsports Inc, has been developing award-winning off-road racing vehicles as well as specializing in engineering, fabrication, and machining in industries ranging from race to aerospace for over 20 years. With the years of experience gained working with advanced super alloys, specially designed high-temperature coatings, and a thorough knowledge of high-end product development, the decision was made to develop the most advanced suppressor technology available today.

Extensive research was completed evaluating the currently available suppressor systems to determine their strengths and weaknesses along with working with the end-users that are at the tip of the American spear. A long list of issues was quickly determined which included the following: Substandard coatings that couldn’t handle the heat, poorly chosen construction materials, baffle designs that created extensive back pressure leading to increased cyclic rate and premature parts failures, poorly designed baffles that did not properly attenuate the sound along with poorly welded cans that would crack after a certain amount of heat cycles. Numerous issues were also found in the quick connect attachment systems, which included easily broken springs, ratchet assemblies, and threaded adaptors that would get contaminated with carbon and other debris and would not be easily removed. Issues were also found in quick connect assemblies that were threaded on and had no indexing ability to be installed the same way every time for predictable accuracy. This research and development process also led us to find several well-thought-out suppressor and quick-connect designs.

Once the research was conducted, we hit the drawing board and began development with a completely different approach. Based on the fact that humans hear in frequency and not decibels, extensive testing was done with advanced frequency analysis testing equipment to determine the specific frequencies of supersonic projectiles fired through weapon systems commonly used by the US Military and Law Enforcement.

Once the data was in, a baffle design was created to properly attenuate and cancel the loudest frequencies of the gunshots as perceived by the human ear. Based on the fact the baffle angles and spacing were specifically designed to attenuate the frequencies of the supersonic rifle fire, very few baffles were needed to accomplish the sound reduction needed. This also resulted in a very free-flowing suppressor design that has very little back pressure and eliminates cyclic rate issues and prematurely worn parts. This design is also very effective in reducing first-round flash and reducing recoil.

Once the baffle design was perfected, a specific grade of the high-temperature superalloy was chosen to manufacture them followed by a specific heat-treat process. The baffles were also designed with interlocking tapers to hold them into position inside a Titanium alloy outer can. This taper-locking design creates a suppressor that can withstand an infinite number of heat cycles without the chance of cracking which is associated with many commonly welded suppressor designs. This design also creates a suppressor system that can be disassembled at the factory and or armorer level and cleaned and or repaired as needed.

A very specific anti-galling, the non-reflective, heat-disbursing coating was also chosen to coat all the titanium parts within the suppressor. The high temperature-resistant materials chosen to build the suppressor also work together to shed heat extremely quickly. The end result of over four years of extensive research and development led to a United States Patent being issued for the newly developed baffle technology along with 17 other specific design features of the suppressor system. This is the first United States Patent issued for supersonic baffle technology that properly attenuates specific frequencies of supersonic rifle projectiles.

After perfecting the baffle and suppressor design, the team went to work on designing a quick connect adaptor system that met the following design requirements: No threads, no ratchets, easily cleaned, easily attached and removed, and must index into the exact same location every time the suppressor is installed. After extensive design and testing, a solution to all the above requirements along with many additional features were developed. The end result was a quick connect and muzzle adaptor assembly built from a special grade of stainless steel that is extremely stable and specially heat-treated to an extremely high hardness for extended durability.

The quick-connect features a ¼ turn installation that installs in the same location every time, mounting lugs and grooves that can be cleared of debris with a gloved finger, installation in complete darkness by feel, high-temperature Inconel sealing rings to prevent gas from escaping from the rear of the can and a built-in carbon scraper that cleans the inside of the quick connect assembly every time it is installed and removed. The quick-connect also features corresponding tapers that lock together when the suppressor is attached to prevent gas from escaping between the muzzle adaptor and suppressor.

A proprietary ceramic-based coating that chemically bonds to the grain structure of the stainless-steel components of the muzzle adaptor is also used to create a surface coating that is extremely hard and will not crack, chip or peel. This coating can resist temperatures over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and has a coefficient of friction under .10 so no lubrication is ever needed. This coating is also extremely dense and resists the adhesion of molten lead, copper, and carbon build-up along with creating another layer of corrosion resistance on top of the natural characteristics of stainless steel. This quick-connect technology was also awarded a United States Patent. Extensive destruction testing has been done to determine the operational limits of the suppressor systems and they far exceed any standards ever developed or required by the United States Military.
