Scythe Ti: A Benchmark in Lightweight Design
One of the highlights was the introduction of the Scythe Ti, noted for its ultra-lightweight and robust construction. This suppressor is crafted from fully welded titanium, weighing in at under eight ounces and less than eight inches in length. It’s designed to handle the pressures of up to 300 Remington Ultra Magnum and 300 Norma Magnum without barrel length restrictions on bolt guns. Ideal for hunters and precision rifle shooters, the Scythe Ti combines minimal weight with significant noise reduction, making it a standout choice for those who need stealth without the burden.
Expansion of the Velos Series
The Velos series also saw exciting expansions with the introduction of new models catering to both 7.62mm and 5.56mm rifles. These models are tailored for shooters who require low back-pressure suppressors that can accommodate shorter barrel lengths without compromising performance. The new Velos 762 extends the benefits of low back-pressure to larger calibers, while the Velos 556K offers a more compact option for 5.56mm rifles, especially effective on barrels 16 inches or longer. These additions enhance versatility and provide options for different firearm setups and tactical needs.
Spectre 9: Advancing Handgun Suppression
Another significant release was the Spectre 9, a full titanium 9mm suppressor that excels in durability and lightweight design. It supports full auto fire with subsonic rounds and semi-auto with supersonic rounds, making it highly versatile. The Spectre 9’s introduction is not seen as a replacement but rather as a complement to the existing Omega 9K, sharing a similar sound signature but leveraging the advantages of titanium for a lighter, more durable build.
