SureFire Suppressors & Barry Dueck

This video from CF Clips, featuring a representative from Silencer Central discussing the Banish Suppressor, delves into advanced suppressor technology. The speaker, demonstrating high authority and technical expertise, highlights the critical importance of managing toxic gases expelled from a suppressor, emphasizing redirection away from the shooter for health and safety. Furthermore, the discussion addresses the ongoing priority of flash reduction in modern suppressor design, even while venting gases effectively. The visual evidence showcases the Banish Suppressor's flow-through design with multiple vent holes, a key feature for gas mitigation.

This video from SHOT Show 2026 introduces revolutionary suppressor technology from Ambient Arms. The presenter, demonstrating high expertise in firearm thermal dynamics, explains how traditional suppressors act as heat sinks, leading to significant Point of Impact (POI) shift. Ambient Arms' new design aims to mitigate this by preventing the barrel from becoming a heat sink, promising improved accuracy during sustained fire.

ARFCOM News at SHOT Show 2026 introduces Ambient Arms' EXO 5.56 family of suppressors, featuring industry-disrupting technology. The suppressors utilize ambient air intake to cool propellant gases, significantly enhancing sound and flash suppression while stabilizing barrel temperature for improved precision. The EXO series offers various configurations, including full-size, K-can, and .22 caliber models, constructed from Inconel or Titanium.

This expert analysis of the SIG M8 rifle, based on an interview with SIG's Adam Agri, details its evolution from the M7 (MCX Spear) for US Army adoption. Key improvements focus on maneuverability, weight reduction, and enhanced suppressor technology, driven by soldier feedback. The M8 offers significant performance gains over the M4, particularly in peer-on-peer engagements, while maintaining accuracy and reliability.

The Dead Air Sandman X is a professional-grade 7.62mm suppressor engineered for heavy-duty use. Constructed from 3D-printed Haynes 282 superalloy, it offers exceptional thermal stability and creep strength. It supports chamberings up to .300 Remington Ultra Mag, is full-auto rated with no barrel restrictions, and features advanced internal baffling for optimized sound suppression and gas management. The Sandman X is compatible with Dead Air's KeyMo and Xeno quick-attach mounting systems.

This video from Classic Firearms features a deep dive into suppressor technology, including the impact of additive manufacturing and recent legal changes. The hosts also discuss the best Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs), offering insights into specific models like the SIG MPX and MP5, and provide recommendations for various suppressor applications and firearm builds. Expert commentary from Jason highlights the technical nuances of suppressor performance and firearm compatibility.

The Heizer Defense PS1 Pocket Shotgun is a single-shot firearm chambered in .410 (2.5-inch) and .45 Colt, constructed from stainless steel or titanium. It boasts extreme durability, with over 5,000 rounds fired from a single unit without failure. Manufactured in Missouri, it starts at an MSRP of $499, with a 3-inch .410 version planned.

The Gilboa Snake is a unique double-barrel AR-15 variant developed in Israel, designed to maximize firepower for short tactical windows. It features a proprietary gas piston system and dual bolt carriers, with a civilian-legal version planned to have 16-inch barrels and separate triggers. Production is slated for summer with a fall rollout, though US pricing is undetermined.

This video compares the recoil of the Desert Eagle in .44 Magnum and .50 AE calibers. The .44 Mag features a new muzzle brake, while the .50 AE uses a 300-grain Speer Gold Dot. Simultaneous firing highlights the visual difference in muzzle flip and recoil impulse between the two powerful handguns.

High-speed camera analysis reveals significant differences between 9mm and .45 ACP in identical Remington RP pistols. The .45 ACP exhibited greater muzzle rise (45 degrees) and torque due to slower slide cycling, while the 9mm showed less muzzle rise (under 30 degrees) and faster cycling, indicating better control.
