Tactical fleshlight?
^^^ Cover for the suppressor, pretty much...
Just curious...what does a suppressor cover actually do, besides the obvious?
Haha sorry just being a smartass. I dig it, it always reminds me of the canvas-wrapped Sten suppressors.Quote:

It's also nice insurance for accidentally grabbing it after a few mags. Make that mistake once and they're worth it regardless.
e: Actually might be totally wrong on these new ones. I'd used them on the Sten, one on some post sample AR, and MAC10, and those were for that purpose, but I googled it and yeah looks like now the selling point is the mirage prevention. Do they still protect your hands or are they now just completely for mirage reduction?
Yeah the inner core is good up to 2000°f and the outer is like 3000°f, the rope has a higher heat rating than the putter cover. Got for the heat mirage, my sbr (don't accidentally burn myself/ melt my pants, and now I can put it down on a table without melting or burning the table which I've done by accident.
Neat. I never would've believed how hot those things could get until I played with them myself. I was friendly with some people who worked for a manufacturer and they had a post-sample M249 with some absurd suppressor on it and I can still remember how much of a pain it was to clean off the plastic from the folding table that had melted to it when I set it down.
