Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JK Armament SGX suppressor and how long can it be?

The JK Armament SGX is a modular 12-gauge suppressor designed to be extended by adding baffle segments. In this test, it was configured to approximately 7 feet long using 69 baffles.

What challenges arise when testing a 7-foot-long suppressor?

A significant challenge with such an extended suppressor is 'droop,' or gravitational sagging, which can affect firearm alignment and accuracy. Supports are often needed to maintain proper alignment.

What types of ammunition were tested with the extended suppressor?

The extended suppressor was tested with various 12-gauge ammunition, including birdshot, slugs, Fiocchi 'Demolition Rounds' for breaching, and Phoenix Rising 'Hellfire' Dragon's Breath rounds.

What is the purpose of the JK Armament Breacher suppressor?

The JK Armament Breacher suppressor is designed for tactical applications, featuring a jagged standoff device that can be used for door breaching.
