Every suppressor mount on the market is doing the same basic thing: a cone pulled tight by a thread. So why do some carbon lock after fifteen rounds, some walk off under fire, and some need a wrench to remove? In this episode, Chris and Sean take a deep dive into the engineering behind the Hesion Bow, IDG's integral thread-and-taper mounting system, and lay out the math that drove every decision in its design.Whether you run a Hesion Bow or a competitor's mount, this episode is a look at how a mounting system should be evaluated as a complete joint rather than a single spec on a product page.Read the full Hesion Bow engineering white paper (formulas, assumptions, and coefficients included): https://irregulardesigngroup.com/podcast-resource/#ep-01Visit our website: https://irregulardesigngroup.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irregulardesigngroupSubscribe for more conversations on suppressor technology, firearms engineering, product development, industry insights, and behind-the-scenes discussions.Disclaimer: This content is intended for educational and informational purposes.
