This video from SilencerCo explains the fundamental differences between sealed suppressors and low back pressure (LBP) suppressors. Sealed suppressors are designed for maximum sound suppression by trapping gas, typically manufactured using traditional machining. LBP suppressors, often 3D printed, are engineered to reduce back pressure and gas blowback on gas-operated firearms by venting gas, prioritizing reliability and shooter comfort over absolute quietness. The choice depends on the intended use case: sealed for quiet precision, LBP for hard-use, high-volume shooting.
This video details a helicopter-based coyote hunt organized by SilencerCo, Zev Technologies, Field Ethos, and Aimpoint Optics. The operation aims to support the repopulation of antelope by reducing the coyote population, which preys on them. Participants discuss firearm setups, including AR-15 platforms with suppressors and red dot sights, and emphasize the importance of proper firearm zeroing for effective aerial engagements. The hunt highlights the challenges and strategies involved in hunting from helicopters at high altitudes.
This guide explains the function and installation of pistons in pistol suppressors, essential for reliable operation with tilting barrel handguns. Pistons decouple the suppressor from the barrel's action, preventing cycling issues caused by added weight. The video demonstrates how to install a piston and spring into a SilencerCo Omega 9K and introduces the fixed barrel spacer for use on non-tilting barrel firearms.
This video documents a team's participation in the Nutria Fest, an event focused on hunting invasive nutria in Louisiana. The team utilized thermal and white light optics for early morning hunts, encountering challenges with low nutria activity initially. They later shifted focus to hunting feral pigs, demonstrating adaptability. The event highlights the use of suppressors and rifles in pest eradication and the competitive nature of such hunts.
SilencerCo emphasizes its commitment to vertical integration and in-house manufacturing for suppressor production. This approach allows them to control quality from raw material to final inspection, invest in high-end Japanese CNC machinery, and maintain consistent production. The company highlights its dedication to customer value through a lifetime warranty and responsive customer service, differentiating itself from competitors with limited warranties.
The SilencerCo Omega 300 DT receives cosmetic updates including a deeper texture and gold accents, while retaining its proven performance. It remains a versatile 30 caliber suppressor compatible with calibers from 5.56 to .300 Win Mag, featuring the Bravo mounting system and a lifetime warranty.
The ATF's $200 tax stamp for suppressors is currently $0 due to ongoing litigation. The process for acquiring a suppressor still requires submitting an ATF Form 4, which necessitates a passport photo, ID, and fingerprints. Services like Silencer Shop offer kiosks for fingerprinting and photo capture, simplifying the process. Buyers can choose to file as an individual or via a trust, with trusts allowing multiple individuals to possess the NFA item. While the tax stamp is free, the NFA process itself remains.
This video showcases suppressed hunting expeditions, emphasizing the effectiveness and stealth offered by suppressed firearms in various hunting scenarios. It highlights successful hunts and the camaraderie among participants, suggesting a focus on ethical and efficient harvesting of game.
The SilencerCo Scythe STM is a versatile suppressor constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, designed for calibers ranging from 5.56 NATO to 300 RUM. It offers modularity, allowing for short or long configurations and compatibility with various mounting systems like the Bravo ASR and Bravo Anchor Brake. The suppressor is engineered to perform well with both gas and bolt-action firearms, offering significant sound suppression, particularly on bolt guns where its sealed nature maximizes quiet operation.
This video demonstrates long-range shooting techniques with a 5.56 NATO rifle, focusing on achieving hits at 900 and 1000 yards on a 1 MOA steel target. The shooter emphasizes the difference in difficulty between these distances, noting that 900 yards is manageable while 1000 yards requires significant calibration and skill. It highlights the importance of understanding ballistic drop and windage adjustments, using Mil Rads for precise aiming.
This guide details the process of suppressing Glock handguns, including disassembly, barrel replacement with SilencerCo models, and reassembly. It also explains the difference between standard and SN pistons for suppressor mounting and highlights various SilencerCo suppressors suitable for Glocks, such as the Spectre 9, Omega 36M, Osprey 9, S98, and Omega 9K.
