Materials

.450 Bushmaster FTX, black powder

Materials

.450 Bushmaster ammunition, loaded with a plastic-capped 250-grain Flex Tip bullet. Born from discontent with the .223 Remington's weak stopping potential, the .450 Bushmaster round was crafted in line with the so-called 'Thumper' concept: an envisioned need for a large-bore, semi-automatic sporting cartridge capable of downing game in one shot. Along with its elder sibling, the .50-caliber Beowulf cartridge, the .450 Bushmaster is one of a number of such high-caliber rounds and is compatible with appropriately converted AR-15-platform rifles. This particular cartridge possesses a plastic-tipped projectile, which acts as an improved hollow point bullet with uniform and devastating expansion within wound cavities.

'solvent trap' suppressor

Materials

An automotive filter crudely adapted to mate up with a firearm's barrel, creating an illegal, unregistered suppressor. Good thing there don't seem to be any ATF agents around to arrest you. While close in design to a real suppressor, it was not designed for the high pressures involved in gunfire and will eventually lose effectiveness. The filter is large and, when attached, will interfere with your ability to aim down the base sights of the gun.
