Suppressors 101: Should I Put A Suppressor On A Long Range Precision Rifle?
Our viewers have frequently requested this topic, so we're dedicating a whole video on whether or not you should put a suppressor on a long range precision rifle. Rob explores the the various benefits of placing a suppressor on a precision rifle, particularly a bolt action rifle. We address the differences between gas guns vs bolt guns, effects on barrel harmonics & point of impact (POI) shift, velocity, signature reduction and recoil reduction.

PTR Industries Vent Suppressor Review - Is it Worth $1500?!?! Vent 3 (5.56) & Vent 2 (9MM)
We sit down with PTR Industries to do a full review of their Vent 3 and Vent 2 suppressors. The Vent line of suppressors is PTR's maiden voyage into suppressors and retails for a whopping $1,500...so is it worth a mortgage payment? Rob tests the Vent 3 5.56 against the SilencerCo Velos, B&T SRBS Ti, Dead Air Nomad L and the SilencerCo Omega 300. We evaluated performance of all the suppressors on 16" and 11.5" rifles. We objectively tested back pressure using the Riflespeed adjustable gas block (like we've done in past videos) and then we do a subjective sound test. We will do a decibel test in the not too distant future. We were not paid to do this review, please considee subscribing to help support the channel!

Suppressors 101: Mounting Options for Suppressors - Quick Detach, Direct Thread and Proprietary
There are a ton of options when it comes to mounting suppressors to rifles. As a firearms instructor who spends over 300 days per year on the range and an owner of over 50 suppressors, Rob Orgel has had the opportunity to test many of the popular suppressor mounting solutions. In this video, Rob brakes down the primary options for mounting suppressors as well as his current favorite, the SilencerCo Bravo ASR mount. Rob also discusses hub systems, Q Plan-B, Dead Air Xeno, direct thread and proprietary suppressor mounts.

Suppressors 101: Debunking 5 Myths About Suppressors
There's a lot of bad information that gets passed around about suppressors. Some of this is due to Hollywood and video games, but also in the firearms community. Rob dispels 5 myths about suppressors in regard to losing rights, poor range/velocity and accuracy, not needing hearing protection, "Hollywood quiet" suppressors and the use of suppressors in home defense.

Suppressor Back Pressure Testing Part 2: 11.5" SBR vs 16" - SilencerCo, B&T, Surefire, Dead Air, KGM
In this video we follow up on our original suppressor back pressure test and ask the question, what happens if we drop down from a 16" barrel length to a 11.5" barrel? We found very interesting results, especially in some of the low back pressure suppressors such as the Huxwrx Ventum, B&T SRBS Ti and SilencerCo Velos. We use the Riflespeed gas controls to determine the proper amount of gas for each suppressor and so that we can create & observe repeatable results. See full list of suppressors tested below along with a link to the part 1 video.

Low Back Pressure Suppressor Showdown - Huxwrx, SilencerCo, B&T, Surefire
In this suppressor test, Rob puts six low back pressure suppressors head-to-head to see if they live up to the hype. Like our previous back pressure test, we used a 16" AR15 with a Riflespeed gas block to determine how much back pressure is required to achieve last round bolt hold open. However, we also included a 11.5" rifle in the testing to observe variations. In a future test we will include sound suppression and other metrics to determine which suppressor reigns supreme.

Not So Obvious Tactical Advantages Of Suppressors
Sound suppression is obviously the reason for suppressors, but there many other tactical advantages to placing a suppressor on your rifle. In this video Rob discusses the role that suppressors play in reducing the muzzle and sound signature of shots for hunting and tactical engagements. There's also the ability to hear the impact of the round which provides clues as to whether the bullet made contact with a solid or hollow object. In the context of room clearing, suppressors aid with command & control by potentially differentiating your team's shots from those of an enemy.

Suppressor Back Pressure Test: Huxwrx, SilencerCo, Dead Air, KGM, Surefire, & More
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.
