Duration: 18:52

Garand Thumb and JK Armament collaborated to build the world's longest suppressor, measuring 75 feet with over 1,310 baffles. Testing revealed significant sound reduction, dropping to 85 dB at the muzzle, but also indicated projectile tumbling at extreme lengths due to potential baffle strikes. Despite challenges, a full-auto test confirmed successful projectile exit.

Quick Summary

Garand Thumb and JK Armament built the world's longest suppressor at 75 feet using over 1,310 baffles. Testing achieved 85 dB at the muzzle but revealed projectile tumbling, highlighting challenges with extreme length and alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the primary challenge in building the world's longest suppressor?

The main challenges were managing projectile 'sag' and the high probability of baffle strikes due to the extreme length. The 75-foot suppressor required extensive physical support to maintain alignment.

How quiet was the 75-foot suppressor built by Garand Thumb?

The 75-foot suppressor achieved an impressive muzzle decibel reading of 85 dB. This demonstrates significant sound reduction, although projectile stability became a concern at this length.

What ammunition was used for testing the 75-foot suppressor?

The testing utilized AAC 77gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition. This specific load was chosen for its performance characteristics during the extreme length suppressor trials.

Did the rounds exit the 75-foot suppressor without issue?

Yes, rounds successfully exited the 75-foot suppressor, even during a full-auto test. However, high-speed footage revealed some rounds exhibited yaw or tumbling, indicating potential instability.
