This video explains the compatibility of suppressors between 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC calibers. A 6mm ARC suppressor can safely fire 5.56 NATO due to its larger bore, offering greater versatility. Conversely, a 5.56 NATO suppressor is not rated for 6mm ARC due to potential over-pressure and bore obstruction risks. The speaker, demonstrating experienced knowledge of firearm accessories, recommends choosing a 6mm ARC suppressor if both calibers are intended for use.
This video provides essential guidance on selecting and using firearm suppressors, emphasizing that physical fit does not guarantee compatibility or safety. It details the typical caliber limitations for various suppressor types, from rimfire to .50 caliber, and highlights critical considerations like pressure ratings and bore alignment for specific cartridges. The instructor stresses the importance of checking manufacturer specifications before use to avoid potential damage or dangerous malfunctions.
