The Pugio carries a dimensional envelope of 40x100mm and a mass of only 82 grams (2.9oz). Building on the Falx, Sarissa, and Accipiter the Pugio is super compact and light with outstanding performance for it’s size. Packed into this tiny package is all the same proven principles but shrunk down with even more space optimization.

The Pugio brings a new diode design with improved performance and a more compact size to accommodate the limited length and still have room for the same high performance damping technology used in it’s bigger bothers. From the Accipiter comes the lightweight tube and POM/Delrin end caps for additional weight savings.

The basic premise of the design is to use Nikola Tesla’s Gas Diode to reflex air back on itself and stop forward flow in the moderator. The moderator uses a three stage system. First the air is stripped off the pellet, reducing turbulence and improving accuracy. Second it is delayed via compound gas diodes. Finally a damping system muffles the sound. Most moderator designs focus on one of two capabilities, either sound wave damping or flow delaying, and this is copied the entire length of the moderator. Why though should the sound and flow at the back of the moderator be the same as at the front? It didn't make sense to us either, thus the design adapts along its length to maximize sound attenuation at a given flow level while minimizing size and weight.

Please note, while we try to keep cores in stock for immediate shipment, some may be built to order, a process which takes two weeks. All designs are considered experimental.

This product is intended for AIRGUN USE ONLY. It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its design intent.
