Explore the critical performance advantages of composite sandwich panels
They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

The proprietary, multi-layer carbon
fiber and ceramic composite technology applies
the concept of thermal inertia to expedite heat
transfer from the barrel bore to improve overall
performance.
The ceramic and carbon fiber composite layers
are applied in a proprietary process, and finished
barrels are returned to the firearms manufacturer for
incorporation into the final product.
