The EXO 5.56 Family | Ambient Arms | SHOT Show 2026

This video explores the infrared (IR) signature of suppressors when fired, a phenomenon often overlooked. Traditional suppressors can glow brightly in the IR spectrum, making them visible through night vision devices. The test aims to compare the IR visibility of an Ambient Arms suppressor against traditional models after a high-round-count stage in a shooting match.

This video from ARFCOM News at SHOT Show 2026 features Conner from Ambient Arms explaining the innovative cooling mechanism of the Ambient A2MS Suppressor. The design utilizes pressure-differential suction to draw in ambient air through three distinct zones, significantly reducing internal temperatures and enhancing flash suppression capabilities, validated by Devcom light spectrum analysis.

This SHOT Show 2026 coverage features Chase from Silencer Shop, highlighting advancements in suppressor technology and new brand partnerships. The discussion emphasizes the current positive state of NFA wait times, with eForms approvals averaging under 10 days, and addresses manufacturing readiness for increased demand following legislative changes. The expert tone from Silencer Shop provides high authority on the subject.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.
