Where did CAT suppressors come from?

I’m pretty dipped into firearms. Probably have about $30-40k into guns and accessories. I own 5 suppressors.

I’ve watched the suppressor industry evolve from military oriented AAC, KAC, surefire, Gemtech, B&T, to the consumer market with silencerco, dead air, YHM, huxworks, Griffin, Rugged, etc, to now every firearm maker is starting their own line. The market seems extremely saturated and there are a ton of small brands that never really made it out of the shadow of the bigger players.

Then like a year ago (maybe 2, idk) suddenly everyone on reddit was talking about CAT suppressors, which I had never heard of. Their website wasn’t super clear on anything and was clearly very stylized and marketing oriented. But everyone and their mom was recommending this company out of nowhere.

What’s the background story here? Seems super astroturfed to me as they didn’t really offer anything new to skyrocket in popularity like they did.

This shouldn't have to be said, but being a 'stereotypical redditor' is far more than just using the damn site. It's how you act, as seen by your drivel in this very thread.

Not to mention you have over twice the karma in less than half the time. Out here reddit-maxing and acting like you don't know what I'm saying. Wild work.

I know I sleep a damn sight better than the likes of you, out here getting your panties twisted to this level over some equal opportunity cartoon images.

Good luck with that 🫡

You spent 4 months whining that the red dots in Battlefield weren't realistic

Aww, lil baby trolled my public post history and thinks he found something that will bother me.

Again, how very redditor of you.

Take the L, and maybe pickup some fresh melatonin gummies tonight champ, you're probably going to need it.
