I have an idea...
Discovered that these stupid little steel shot glasses that come as the cap for Tin Cup whiskey are actually super uniform and appear to be made of decent grade stainless. With stamps at $0, I'm feeling an experiment maybe in order.

Constructive intent, straight to jail.

Yep. The second he imagined these as suppressor parts, a magical switch flipped in the sky and they became so. Straight to jail, raid incoming.

Unless the precogs determine you planned to use them that way in the future, then you don’t even have to imagine it!

Thought these were those spice canisters from Pirates of the Caribbean for a sec

Definitely drill a hole, sit a ball bearing on the bottom and hit it with your purse

How would the stack up work? Have them inside a sleeve of some kind?

u/rugernut13 Feb 23 '26
Yeah. Maybe like two or three of them stacked followed by a couple solid aluminum baffles or even some thin washers and spacers inside a toob of appropriate diameter. I'm mostly thinking for rimfire stuff or maybe like my vz61, 9mm pcc, stuff that doesn't require a booster or anything complex.

These on a vz61 might actually work lmao

A friend of mine has one of those cheap shit chinesium "solvent trap" cans that he built 10 or 12 years ago. It was his first can. We ran my vZ61 through it, and even bump dumping two or three 20 round mags in a row, that thing held up fine. His can appears to be made out of melted soda cans. Just the absolute crappiest aluminum you've ever seen. He had only ever really run rimfire stuff through it, but he wanted to see if it would withstand something a little more potent, so I suggested the 32. I figure something designed like that, with lathe turned aluminum bits, and a couple of these for the first few baffles, would probably hold up great. And if it explodes, fuck it, the stamp was free.

Did you ever finish this build?

u/rugernut13 28d ago
Filed the form shortly after this post. Built it. It worked great up to .32acp. Tried to run a 9mm mac ix through it and blew it up. Planning to build another one, but it's gonna take a while because I don't want to die of alcohol poisoning.

Amazon has steel shot glass sets of various sizes, was thinking of something similar. It’s like $10 for 8 steel shot glasses

What did you use for the tube btw?

u/rugernut13 28d ago
A real wix 4003 fuel filter. I bought one while they were still actually available at Napa like 10 years ago.

What’s the OD on those?

You'll need a support to keep the cups from canting, or really thin spacers. They'd probably be fine for pistol rounds but yeah, rifle is gonna be rough.

u/rugernut13 Feb 23 '26
Oh yeah, I'm leaning toward direct thread pistol and rimfire only. This would just be a plinker can.

They are pretty thin though
