Curious how a can would perform if the plugs were left unformed.  Just drilled and clipped.  I obviously don't understand the significance of the cone shape.

Isn't space space?  Different shape but the area is the same.  Or is it about the direction of flow of the blast?

Has anyone ever done this or is it dangerous?

If you're going that route just use flat washers.

Where would those be used?

As baffles instead of unformed FPs

Ok....I just visualized that....lol.  So they would just be separated with spacers....interesting.

Cones trap the gas more efficiently.  Flat baffles work, but are not as effective.

Does it make a difference which way cones are pointed?  Wide or small end toward muzzle?

Small end to the barrel.

The angle of the cone strips gas away and forces it to circulate and burn off inside the can. Much more efficient than flat baffles.

ETA: Like this.
