SureFire VP of Suppressors and Weapons Barry Dueck, and SureFire Director of Product Management for Suppressors and Weapons Cody Carroll, go over the famous USASOC Operator Suppressor System Durability Test to show us what factors to consider when selecting a combat suppressor.
SureFire’s philosophy has always been that durability, signature reduction, accuracy, repeatability and sound suppression are the most important factors to consider when evaluating a suppressor design for combat or duty use.
For this demonstration, they use the SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 suppressor and a competitor’s low back-pressure suppressor.
