Think of cones with holes in them that a bullet passes through.
This also makes your firearm much dirtier, much quicker.
Lowering that backpressure is a tall order.
The Answer?
One of my favorite rifles to test suppressors on ismy 16 M1A EBR.
This reduces the sound signature, muzzle flash and blowback.
The way the suppressor is designed also helps it cool much faster than other, more traditional baffle designs.
I braced, waiting for the shot of gas in my face.
The report of the shot was also hearing-safe.
So far, so good!
The diameter is 1.98, which gives a larger chamber for the free-flow design.
The Orion-X weighs 17.3 oz., which is about on par for the size.
The materials used in the design are 17-4 PH Stainless, 6AL-4V Titanium, Inconel and 7075-T6 aluminum.
The suppressor comes in black or FDE high temp Cerakote.
They have multiple innovative products including charging handles and muzzle brakes.
For those suppressor junkies out there like myself, you wont be disappointed by the Orion-X.
At the end of the day, the old adage still rings true … silence truly is golden.
