Published on April 1, 2025
Duration: 9:21

This guide details the testing procedure for the LMT ATIONLT ION LT suppressor, as demonstrated by RECOILtv. It covers essential steps like sound and velocity measurements using specialized equipment like the Larson Davis SoundExpert 821, and the 'Table II' endurance test for gas blowback and heat management. The process emphasizes professional, analytical assessment of suppressor performance on a 5.56 NATO platform, highlighting key metrics such as muzzle and ear dB levels, FPS gain, and gas increase percentage.

Quick Summary

RECOILtv's expert test of the LMT ATIONLT ION LT suppressor on a 5.56 NATO rifle yielded impressive results: 148.2 dB at the muzzle, 139.5 dB at the ear, and a 76 FPS velocity gain. The 'Table II' test indicated a 28% gas increase to the shooter, with minor muzzle interface leakage, but the suppressor passed overall endurance.
