this video is another vid about the FTN.4 and yes i know there are lots of these already and the 4 has proven itself time and time again but i post this because in the comments he mentions he is waiting on a form 1 for his FTN.5 which is the real meat of this sammich. i know id love to see any/all data and content on the 5 i can with it being so new and im sure there will be some useful info in there for PLAboi and anyone who may remix his stuff. 3RBallistics is just a decent channel in a sea of slop that deserves to be shared imo

This was a great video, esp considering hes not a 3d2a guy. All of his other content is pretty different.
Hi frame rate camera is pretty awesome to see. I talked to him after his first video and it does look like his bore printed a bit oblong so I advised him to drill it out to make it a perfect circle again.
Looking forward to his 308 testing, thats gonna be the first time it is tested in 308
BTW this actually was the FTN.5, just the baffled one not the flowthrough one
oh was it? ok so i just misunderstood him, pretty cool u guys talked after his last vid i had commented that the dev would prob be interested in any data he gets as its still a new drop so thats cool that yall linked up. im pretty pumped to see the 308 as well too. i just really enjoy that people are already pushing these to the perceived limits
i was pretty surprised to see him doing the 3d2a stuff tbh but i love it, esp now with the tax stamps zeroed this topic is more important than ever! i tell everyone print 100 cans but form 1 them all. common use is our friend. also, i posed this question to 3R as well but id like your take on it since your supps are easily the kings of this space. if people (shops) were to form 1 some of your supps and sell them for a massive price cut from normal ones, like $100-$200 tops, how would you feel about that? im not an FFL so its not my intention to beat around the bush and then go do this myself but we see what people do with the super safe so just wonder how you would feel about that as a whole
Funny you mention this. I have been thinking on this topic recently since a few SOT’s emailed me asking about it.
I actually think the next step for mass adoption is going to be printed cans sold for cheap. Not everyone is willing or able to get a 3d printer and learn how to print well.
I even went ahead and put this on my website: https://ftn.fun/for-sots
It won’t be a form 1, they would be producing suppressors for people to form 4.
If you know any 07/02’s feel free to pitch it to them.
tbh with your flow throughs this is the first point in 3dp supps that ive felt this is ready for the commercial market, not dunking on the 4 or saying other designs arent amazing as well and some may be worthy of mass production but as a whole, the 5 is the line that pushes this to the commercial market(imo)
pretty cool you have already given this real thought and came to the same conclusion that this could be the future of inexpensive cans for the avg brokie like most us who print lol. i have one buddy that does all the sot stuff when i have things i want tested so ill pitch this too him for sure, i know being the first to market in your local areas could be a pretty massive spike in sales and getting these in peoples hands so ill def pass this on to him and have him take a look at your site.
Yo thats awesome. I bet saturating the market with printed cans will also start reducing the price of machined ones.
