Best AR-15 Suppressor Host
This guide, drawing on the expertise of BurstReview, details how to optimize an AR-15 as a suppressor host. It emphasizes that a 20-inch barrel is superior for reducing shooter-experienced noise by moving the muzzle blast further away. The guide also covers considerations for gas systems, suppressor mounts like the SilencerCo ASR, and the use of a Gas Buster charging handle to mitigate blowback. It's noted that while suppressors reduce overall sound, 5.56/.223 supersonic ammunition will still produce a 'crack', making hearing protection advisable.
