Rob’s Perfect Suppressor – Which Doesn’t Exist…Or Does It???

Overview:

Have we found the perfect suppressor? Well, not yet...but we have news about some new suppressors that we'll be testing soon which just might be a breakthrough in suppressor technology. In this video Rob covers his ideal suppressor features: size, weight, back pressure and of course, sound suppression. #suppressor #556 #762 #silencer

Hey everybody, Rob Orgel. In some of my previous videos I've talked a lot about the perfect silencer and I keep saying it doesn't really exist. I'm going to talk real quick about the attributes that I think would create the perfect silencer and I'm also going to suggest who might be bringing us that silencer, which I'm in the shoot to test on very soon. So let's start. First, I want it small. This is a Polonium 556K suppressor. Sure, I would like a little bit smaller. This suppressor over here is like that micro pistol. It even takes a wipe in it because it's just not very quiet for a 9mm. So of course it would not be quiet or effective on a 556. It would probably blow the can up. But if I could have a can that small, I would love it. Until that time, the Polonium 556K really feels that super tiny position. Who's going to replace that? Well, B&T released, here it is right here, the B&T Rotex K suppressor. And this thing is like smaller than the Polonium 556 suppressor. They're saying that you should keep it on a 14.5, not because of barrel length restrictions, but just because it's not very quiet and let you go smaller than that. So if you're just looking for overall real tiny, that might be our future ticket to super tiny suppressors. And I have one of those on the way. They also have a titanium model, which leads me into the next topic, weight. I want it to be as light as possible without sacrificing too much durability. What does that mean? Well, an NSR is five rounds to an assailant's chest. That's a non-standard response. That, like 10 times in a row is excessive. Full auto fire. While I love my machine guns, I really don't shoot my machine guns full auto suppressed all that often. Just as it's too gaseous to the face, makes me tear up. So usually my machine guns are unsuppressed. So honestly, I don't care if it's full auto rated or not. It's always nice when it is just as a statement of durability, but I'll trade if I can save maybe a half or three quarters of that weight, even if it's one quarter of that weight. I mean, if I can save that in order to have a titanium and just not shoot full auto and do one or two NSRs and not five in a row, I'll take that trade off. So I want a lightweight suppressor as well. Who's got that going on? Again, BNT. BNT is releasing not just that 556K Rotex edition, but they're also doing a titanium version of it. And the best part about it previously, when you'd say BNT, it's like not terribly interested because they have proprietary mounts. And just recently they said, Hey, sure. Fire we'll play with you too. So now they've got BNT muzzle adapters and sure fire muzzle adapters and the new BNT mounts will work with both. That's cool. I don't really care for sure. Fire muzzle devices. They're effective. I just don't really love sure fire silencers. So it's not a big thing for me. Now they're moving into the hub system. So as you see these suppressors over here, which are three different manufacturers, they take that hub so I can plug in my favorite silencer code ASR. We're going to do a video on why I like ASR soon, but I plug in my silencer code ASR so I can use all of my previous silencer code muzzle devices and just hop back from weapon to weapon without needing proprietary stuff. Nobody likes proprietary. So BNT is bringing us the super small and the super light. So next is going to be back pressure. Now right now, if you've seen my other videos about back pressure, you know that Huxwork is killing it. However, sure fires RC3, which I'm not in love with sure fires already mentioned, but there are RC3 is actually really, really good on back pressure. Up to date, I haven't seen a whole lot of information on how much back pressure it reduces. Now that I've done this test, I'm blown away. It is outside of Huxworks is the best reduction in back pressure in any suppressor I've seen so far. So I'm super, super impressed with it. The next suppressors behind them are a big gap behind them. So that is impressive. Who's going to bring us the next level of performance? Might be BNT. BNT is showing their reduced back pressure system for their 556 and 762. Guess what? Both are on the way. I made good friends with BNT. So we're going to do a lot more testing on those suppressors soon. Until that time, it does look very promising. I don't know if it's going to keep up with Huxworks, but I'm betting it's going to match sure fire, maybe even surpass. So let's hold our breath and see what happens once we get those suppressors in. One of them has already arrived to the gun store and we should have it really soon. Finally, I want super quiet. Who gives me super quiet today? Well, of the silencers you see over here, as I mentioned, here's small, here's low back pressure. This is the Huxworks Ventum. And then here is the super quiet. That's the dead air Nomad L. It's the longer version. So you can do the L or the LT, the titanium one. You'll see me talk about those silencers. I like them. They're super, super quiet, but the trade off is back pressure. Today I did a quick five, even outside and even not that quick. And by shop for, I had to stop for a minute because my eyes were tearing. I want all things in one place. Again, they don't exist. However, PTR, they're coming up with some cool stuff. I just spoke with a regional sales manager the other day. And when I first spoke to him, I said, you know, to be honest, I'm not terribly interested in your suppressors. He saw my suppressor video and said, Hey, you might want to check these out. You might want to put them on your testing and evaluation and report back. I said at $1,500 a suppressor for your first year of making suppressors. It's kind of a turn off. And he said, trust me, it's Hollywood quiet and it fixes the back pressure issue. I said, no way. If you're going to tell me it's quieter than a Nomad L and has less back pressure, I said, there's just, that doesn't exist. I want to see it. So we scheduled it and in two and a half weeks I'm meeting him on the range. We're going to do a live fire demonstration. We're going to video it, do a little bit of reviewing, and I already have one on order as well. So one, you're going to get first shots on that suppressor one on one with me and the regional sales manager. And then I'm going to get hands on time to truly test if it cuts that mustard. Now that suppressor, the vent three, that's the PTR suppressor. It's going to be 1500 bucks, kind of pricey, and it's going to be 7.75 inches long, kind of standard length and 11.75 ounces, a little lighter than what's normal.

What am I saying is normal omega 300s. Omega 300s are like kind of the staple. They're great suppressors. I unfortunately have six of them because I think they're great silencers, but that's like, that's older technology. There's newer, cooler, lighter, quieter stuff, which is why we're dabbling on these topics, which is why we started this channel in the first place. So stay tuned because I'm going to answer these questions. Size and weight. Is B and T going to crush it with their new suppressors, the K models, back pressure. Is there a reduced back pressure system going to meet or surpass the sure fires? Maybe even meet or surpass the Huxworks. Finally, the PTRs. Are the PTRs as quiet as I'm being told? Do they have the reduced back pressure like they're claiming? Don't know, but going to find out. But it might be this year we actually find that perfect ideal suppressor that Rob's been asking for all this time.

This is my personal time that I spend playing with these toys. And I'm a firearms instructor. I'm on the range with my stuff and other people's stuff, educating them on their toys, making sense, doing testing, evaluation, and asking questions. Figured I'd drag you along and share that experience with you so that you too can apply that to your purchasing power as a consumer.
