I’m guessing the suppressor that envelopes the barrel. Saw one the other day that really impressed me. It had a sleeve inside that came out, split into two pieces and then the interior actual suppressing apparatus was a third piece. Can’t imagine anything easier to clean. All told there were six pieces.

All told there were six pieces. Looks like a nice little can. I don't know how many pieces my old Sionics .45 can had, hundreds, I suppose, if you count all the brass boot grommets it used as *random baffles* that most users replaced with a wrapped section of brass screen cloth.

I’m guessing the suppressor that envelopes the barrel. Known in the biz as a Reflex suppressor, as per the Finnish designs of J. Hartikka, pioneered in Europe by BR Tuote.
The one they make for the M107/M87 Barrett .50 rifles is the most effective I've tried, and gives me some interesting thoughts about the 20mm Lahti.

That’s basically what the FN P90 is.

Haven’t you just described a P90?

The FN SCAN, in both Light and Heavy versions, is out there NOW. You can buy one at a gun show, store or order one on-line. Or pick up a slightly-used FN-2000 from a dead Libyan Army Loyalist. Sometimes, "combat-proven+ is not a good thing.

I really, really wanted one of those for a while, but a buddy bought one and after firing one, I thought it was a bit bulky and not nearly as ergonomic as the AUG. That model in the picture as all the bells and whistles. Nice.

More or less a P90. Nothing wrong with that gun.
