Full description and what we offer
ThunderCans (Shaw Armament Systems) manufactures suppressors and provides custom gunsmithing services out of Powder Springs, Georgia. The company is led by Joseph Jones, owner of CTSR (Curtis Tactical Suppressors & Rifles), who joined Shaw Armament Systems as Vice President overseeing suppressor innovation and custom gunsmith operations.
ThunderCans' signature product line is the Jekyll & Hyde series of modular suppressors—the first true multi-caliber system that actually works. Unlike single-endcap solutions, these suppressors feature swappable baffles that let you change both length and caliber. The system uses a patented design with a small stainless steel cover baffle that you remove when shooting larger calibers, maintaining performance across the full range.
Four sizes cover everything:
| Model | Calibers | Length | Weight | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small (22/32) | .22 rimfire, 5.7x28, .32 ACP | 6.1" | 4.6 oz | Grade 5 titanium, 1/2x28 direct thread |
| Medium (9/45) | 9mm to .45 ACP, 300 BLK subsonic | 8.3" | 10.8 oz | Ships with booster assembly and piston options |
| Large (556/9) | 5.56 to 6mm Creedmoor | 9.0" | 16.4 oz | HUB compatible, 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 mounts |
| Large (9/50) | 5.56 to .50 caliber (no 50 BMG) | 9.0" | 15.8 oz | HUB compatible, tested on 338 Lapua Magnum |

- •Hearing Protection – Critical for recreational shooting, hunting, and training new shooters
- •Reduced Muzzle Blast – Less concussive force makes shooting more comfortable
- •Reduced Flash – Unburnt powder capture lowers muzzle flash signature
- •Recoil Reduction – Better follow-up shot placement and less flinching
- •Noise Pollution – Reduced impact on wildlife and neighbor relations
