Third Echelon Development Gas Cap Gen 3 4 5
Gas Cap™ significantly reduces the amount of debris and gas ejected into your eyes & face when shooting with the added backpressure of a suppressor, making for a much more pleasant experience.
The Gas Cap is a direct-fit replacement slide plate for Glock Gen 3, 4, and 5 pistols (select models with 1-in/25.5mm wide slide). It is precision CNC machined steel with black nitride finish and functions as a two-position sliding assembly. The contoured shroud diverts excess gas and debris downward when using a suppressor.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS
Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns
Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much.
The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges.

THE AGENCY BRIEF
Agency Update
1. AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category.
No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades.
The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pumps all over the country.
The legal hook was buried in the National Firearms Act, specifically 26 U.S.C. § 5845(f). That section says a weapon with a bore over one-half inch can be treated as a destructive device unless the government decides it is “generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.”
A 12-gauge shotgun has a bore of about .73 inches.
So every 12-gauge in America avoids the NFA only because ATF treats it as sporting enough. That is the trapdoor.
In 1994, during the Clinton administration, ATF issued Rulings 94-1 and 94-2. The agency said these shotguns had no recognized sporting purpose, pointing to their weight, capacity, and military-style features. Once ATF withdrew that exemption, the guns became destructive devices.
The pattern was simple:
Start with a broad statute and an elastic test like “sporting purposes.”
Use subjective factors, including appearance, to pull back prior approval.
Reclassify the guns by agency ruling.
Open a short amnesty period for tax-free registration.
Turn missed paperwork into felony exposure.
Confirmed fact: ATF used the sporting purposes clause to reclassify these firearms and require NFA registration without Congress passing a new law.
What is less clear is how many legacy owners actually got notice before the amnesty window closed. But the legal threat was real, and the policy result stuck....
