This video features a range day testing B&T's new RBS titanium and Inconel hybrid suppressors on a Daniel Defense MK18 and a Springfield Armory Hellion. The presenter highlights the suppressors' lightweight design, reduced back pressure, and flash suppression capabilities. Comparisons are made between compact and full-size versions of the suppressors on different barrel lengths, with observations on gas mitigation and sound signature in snowy conditions.

Quick Summary

B&T's new RBS suppressors are a hybrid of titanium and Inconel, offering a lightweight design with reduced back pressure and flash. Tested on a Daniel Defense MK18 and Springfield Hellion, they demonstrated effective gas mitigation, especially the full-size model on the shorter MK18 barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the new B&T RBS suppressors?

The B&T RBS suppressors are constructed from a hybrid of titanium and Inconel, making them exceptionally lightweight. They are designed to reduce back pressure and minimize muzzle flash, offering improved performance for firearms.

How does suppressor size affect performance on different barrel lengths?

On shorter barrels like the 10.3-inch MK18, a full-size suppressor is generally better for maximizing sound suppression, reducing gas blowback, and controlling flash. Compact suppressors may offer less performance in these areas on shorter barrels.

What firearms were used to test the B&T RBS suppressors?

The B&T RBS suppressors were tested on a Daniel Defense MK18 rifle and a Springfield Armory Hellion rifle. Both firearms were chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO.

What were the observed benefits of the B&T RBS suppressors on the MK18?

When mounted on the MK18, the B&T RBS suppressor significantly reduced gas coming from the firearm, mitigating the weapon's naturally gassy nature and showing minimal flash.
