It would be interesting, I'm not really sure how one would work and/or how effective it would be, though I'm sure someone much smarter at actually building suppressors could potentially figure it out... but I've never actually heard of such a thing being available on the market. ~Augee |

I think he's talking about a beehive "round" which suppresses the .22s as they're fired, not a suppressor for a 40MM.

Two technical hurdles would be length of the round to allow it to be loaded and then alignment of the barrels and baffles. I'm sure it's possible but I don't think it would be very quiet.
Could always use subsonic rounds which would help. |

Beehives are not rifled, so how could you stabilize the round to avoid a baffle strike?

Guys, guys, you're missing the potential here.
Just make the damn round 9" long so it'd be flush with the end of an M203A2 barrel, and give it rifled barrels *and* suppressors. 
...again, I have no idea what the technical hurdles to this would be, and I can think of very few practical uses for one... but you've gotta admit, it'd be fun.
OP--you should post this in one of the Silencer subforums instead of the DD subforum, where it will get a lot more traffic, I bet one of those crazy machinists in the Form 1 Suppressor forum would not only figure out a way to make it happen, but end up building a prototype.

~Augee I had mine out over the 4th of July with red and green tracers and it got shot the most of everything I brought. |

Me thinks manufacturing would be pretty simple, but the question is would the ATF want one stamp for the entire unit, or a stamp per bore?

I think it would have to contain many tubes, including one for each barrel. It would be an interesting rig.

Machine a 8" long beehive out of aluminum. Ream out the back for 3" rimfire barrel inserts. Turn down the od to 38mm. Machine the front 5" section into a monocore with the already drilled bore holes. Debur. Thread on a 1mm thick 40mm od tube. I am no machinist, but it could be done. It would be a one off or a limited production thing, so it would be extremely expensive.
