Why We Chose the B&T Print-X RBS 556 TI
The Print-X RBS 556 TI emerged as the top suppressor of 2024 due to its ability to balance key performance factors without compromising durability. Here’s why it took the title:
- Extremely Lightweight – At just seven ounces, this suppressor is among the lightest rifle silencers ever tested, making it an ideal option for shooters who prioritize maneuverability.
- Very Low Back Pressure – The Print-X RBS effectively reduces gas blowback, improving shooter comfort and allowing for smoother cycling on semi-auto and full-auto platforms.
- Deep Pitch Sound Signature – While other suppressors may offer strong suppression, the Print-X RBS 556 TI delivers a more refined, lower-frequency tone, making for a better experience at the shooter’s ear.
- Hub-Compatible & Versatile – This suppressor utilizes a universal mounting system, allowing users to customize their attachment method to fit their rifle setup.
