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.
