A suppressor company named after a subatomic particle. Here's the reasoning, and why it isn't a gimmick.
We wanted a name we could defend in a trademark office and live with for twenty years. Most suppressor names are either about sound (and taken) or about violence (and tiring). We went looking somewhere else.
First
The proton was named by Ernest Rutherford in 1920, from the Greek prōtos, "first." It sits in the nucleus of every atom, and the number of protons decides what the atom is. 22 makes titanium. 26 makes iron. 28 makes nickel.
Held together
Protons in a nucleus all carry positive charge, so they push each other apart hard. The strong force, the strongest of the four forces in nature, holds them together anyway. Experiments put the proton's lifetime above 1034 years, and nobody has ever seen one decay.
A suppressor's job is the same shape: contain a violent release of energy in a small space, shot after shot, without failing. That's what we build, so that's what we named it.
The rule we gave ourselves
The physics is our story. It is never a product claim. Nothing we make uses "proton technology," and we'll never say it does. Cans are sold on measured numbers: decibels with the test method, weight, length, material and thread.
Physics explains the name. Specs sell the product.
