Videos tagged with Barrel Shroud

This video explores an innovative firearm design where the barrel shroud functions as an integral suppressor. The Outlier system effectively turns the entire barrel sleeve into a baffle, significantly enhancing sound suppression. Despite its compact size, the system is surprisingly effective for 6.5 Creedmoor, though the presenter notes it's not hearing-safe for extended use with supersonic ammunition. Notably, the ATF does not classify this design as a suppressor, a point of contention for the presenter.

Proper identification is key to understanding firearm functionality.

The video criticizes the notion that the Trump administration would prevent such actions, suggesting agency tendencies persist regardless of political leadership.
