A good suppressor isn't determined just by sound reduction, back pressure plays a huge roll in how your rifle will function (or not function) once a suppressor is attached. In this video we tested 22 different suppressors with a 16" AR15 using PMC XTAC 5.56 55gr to determine the amount of back pressure each suppressor creates. We utilized the Riflespeed gas control system, which allows 12 levels of adjustment, to determine the amount of adjustment needed to reliably obtain bolt hold open. See the list below for a full list of all the suppressors tested.
