Gun sound suppressors look
pretty straightforward and simple at first glance, but there is actually a lot
of careful planning and designing that goes into making a suppressor. Inside the basic-looking tube that screws onto
the muzzle, there are baffles and expansion chambers that work together to
reduce noise in a very complex process.

The
propellant gasses and bullets pass through the expansion chamber, causing a
slight energy loss as the gasses have a larger space to fill. Next they move through a series of baffles,
which slow and divert propellant gasses even more. These two processes typically reduce the
sound of gunfire by as much as 25 to 30 decibels.
Acutech, a company in Montana known for their
precision CNC machining, water jet and laser cutting worked exclusively with
gun manufacturers and design experts from Miller Precision Arms to create an
innovate new design in gun suppressor technology.
Acutech is a Montana owned
CNC machine shop, precision cutting shop, and metal fabrication shop operating
under one convenient roof. In
cooperation with Miller Precision Arms, Acutech is working on an innovative new
sound suppressor.
The sound suppressor is
known as The Bulldog as a shout-out to the maker’s U.S. Marine Corp past and
also because of its’ short, squat appearance similar to the small but powerful
dog breed. It has an innovative expansion
chamber design for maximum decibel reduction and a gripped outer surface for
user-ease.
Unlike other suppressors, The
Bulldog has a unique utilitarian appearance that adds surface area for cooling
without adding extra length. Available
in stainless steel and titanium, it can be used on all different models of
guns. The Bulldog is known for its
versatility and unique appearance.
Miller Precision Arms is a
Montana-based gunsmith and firearm manufacturing company. They have extensive experience with AR-15s
and building custom firearms, which came in handy when they designed The
Bulldog suppressor. Acutech has a 16,000
square foot facility with a full service CNC machine shop, precision water jet
and laser cutting tables, and a metal fabrication and sheet metal shop. Miller Precision Arms and Acutech’s
collaboration makes for efficient, precise manufacturing of gun suppressors.
