Quick Detach Coupler
The Quick Detach Coupler (QDC) line of Sound Suppressors
and Muzzle Devices are proprietary items designed for secure interoperability. The
coupling device itself consists of multiple ball bearings arrayed in a circular
pattern which fit into sockets specifically machined into various muzzle devices to
accept the QDC. The bearings are aligned with the sockets by way of a V-shaped notch
that seats the device onto an index pin. Once aligned, a simple twist of the outer
retaining ring locks the device securely into place.
This system was developed to provide fast and easy operation and interoperability between weapons and suppressors. Knight's QDC line of sound suppressors all feature this method of attachment. Various muzzle devices, such as the QDC Flash Suppressors and the MAMS muzzle break, also feature the QDC pockets to accept sound suppressors equipped with this coupling device. Secure interoperability and intelligent, efficient design are the intended goals of this quick and easy technology.
