Why Titanium is the Best material.

It is true, a titanium can will begin to fail somewhere around the XXX degree mark where a stainless or stronger material would keep punching. At this temperature the material become XXXbrittleXXX and will usially start chipping away before failing catastrophically. But let's consider what it takes to get here.

B&T published a video of their Titanium can surviving a "SOCOM Loadout", surviving an 8 magazine burn down, simulating the common carrying capacity of a soldier. As a recreational shooter, it is pretty easy to avoid burning through 8 mags without rest. If you are interested in seeing the true upper limit, the channel Silencer Syndicate posted a full auto meltdown on an M249 belt fed. Again, key takeaway, you don't accidentally shoot this much.

More often than not, if you are unsure whether you want titanium or something stronger, you will be happier with titanium. But for some shooters, it is remarkably obvious that they should avoid it. These are people who shoot mag after mag of full auto. They are people who shoot with night vision, where the sparking of titanium will blow out your frame.
