Bushmaster Firearms Announces MUTA II Suppressor

Friday, December 6th, 2024

Bushmaster Firearms® is excited to announce the newest evolution of the MUTA® suppressor product line, the MUTA® II.

The MUTA® II is the next generation of the original Bushmaster® MUTA® line, with the added benefit of being lighter, quieter, more compact than the original Bushmaster® MUTA® suppressor.

Effectively reducing the sound signature on 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington rounds (14.0% reduction at the left ear, a 15.4% reduction at the muzzle and a 15.9% reduction at the right ear), the Muta® II is the perfect tool for shooters looking to complete their Bushmaster® build with a suppressor that looks the part.

With a length of 5.65 inches and a rugged Cerakote® finish, this suppressor is compact, tough and built to dissipate heat more efficiently while shooting suppressed. The MUTA® II is about more than reducing noise—it also enhances overall performance. Weighing in at only 12.25 ounces, this suppressor delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Additionally, the threaded front cap and removable baffles allow for easy opening and cleaning of the interior of the suppressor as well.

The exterior of the Muta® II is 3D-printed with Inconel® 625, and the MUTA® II offers unparalleled lightweight construction without compromising longevity or functionality. Its innovative design also makes it the lightest and shortest 5.56 dedicated suppressor from Bushmaster® to date.

Designed to perform in all conditions, the MUTA® II is full auto-rated, providing users with unmatched versatility and reliability. Installation and operation are effortless, requiring no modifications to the platform or gas system on your rifle.

The Bushmaster® Muta® II has a MSRP of $709.95* and is available now at your local Bushmaster® dealer or online at Bushmaster.com.

Radical Defense BAD-21 Suppressor

Thursday, November 21st, 2024

After successfully suppressing the M2A1 and M2A2 .50cal Machine Guns, RD (Radical Defense) began pursuing the next evolution of the original 50 FVS suppressor. The design intent was a modular, more streamlined, lower weight, higher flow suppressor with a reduced form factor. What followed was the 50 GPS (General Purpose Suppressor) Program.

50 GPS utilizes one suppressor with multiple mounting options via taper lock mount muzzle devices. Each muzzle device is designed with specific internal geometries and thread pitches per use on each intended weaponsystem while using the same, standard external geometries; for example,making the same suppressor useable on a Barrett M107, a McMillan TAC-50, and an M2A1.

Using a 50 GPS muzzle device designed to thread into a barrel shroud, RD mounted and performed limited function testing of 50 GPS on an M3Pwith the eventual goal of adapting 50 GPS for use on the GAU-21.Utilizing customer feedback, in an effort to simplify the system, RDmoved away from a specialized muzzle device and modular suppressor design. Instead, RD developed the BAD-21 specifically for use on theGAU-21, with a primary focus of reducing Blast Overpressure exposure to the warfighter, air frames, and sensitive electronics.

In an effort to design the most rugged, durable machine gun suppressors possible, RD additively manufactures using Haynes 282. The (Blast Attenuation Device) BAD-21 is a monolithic design, without welds or threaded interfaces, which eliminates potential failure points. Additionally, Haynes 282 exhibits exceptional abrasion and wear resistance, and maintains high levels of strength at extreme temperatures.

The BAD-21 threads directly to the Barrel Jacket replacing the flash hider, and is then secured in place using the factory locking screws. Secondary lock can be achieved with the use of safety wire.

The intent with the BAD-21 is to allow the barrel to move freely and reciprocate as normal, while reducing blast overpressure and sound pressure wave experienced by the gunner, pilots, and/or any crewman operating around the weapon, as well as protect sensitive electronics within the blast radius of the muzzle.

Employing RD’s Breathable Technology, the objective with BAD-21 is to significantly reduce any effects of a suppressor on the kinematics of the host weapon, while also venting high pressure gasses forward of the weapon and not back to the operator. In this particular use case, considering the GAU-21’s high cyclic rate, the goal is to not increase the rate of fire of the weapon, cause reliability concerns, decrease MRBS, or increase long term wear and tear on the weapon, its parts or mounts.

Silencer Central and Meateater Unveil Co-Created Suppressor

Saturday, October 12th, 2024

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (Oct. 8, 2024) – Silencer Central, the nation’s largest silencer dealer and manufacturer, has teamed up with MeatEater, the leading outdoor lifestyle brand, to launch the highly anticipated MeatEater by BANISH suppressor. Designed for hunting, this all-new 30-caliber suppressor is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance in the field.

“We told the folks at Silencer Central that we wanted to help build a suppressor that was lightweight, short, user serviceable, quiet, and reduced recoil,” said Ryan ‘Cal’ Callaghan, Director of Conservation at MeatEater. “It seemed impossible, but from every test we’ve done, that team was able to walk a fine line to help us accomplish all of those things in a package dedicated for hunting rigs.”

The MeatEater by BANISH is built for performance and rated for cartridges up to .300 RUM. It features an anchor brake that reduces recoil by up to 40% in the open position and 30% when closed, while also delivering an additional 5 dB of sound reduction. Overall, the suppressor cuts average sound levels by 32 dB, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable shooting experience.

With a muzzle cap insert to accommodate various calibers, users can optimize the suppressor for their specific rifle setup. Constructed from lightweight titanium, the suppressor weighs just 10.3 ounces, measures 5.85 inches in length, and has a 1.73 inch diameter with an industry-standard hub mount.

“From the beginning, both Silencer Central and MeatEater had a shared vision for this suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “It had to be lightweight, quiet, and reduce recoil – essential features for hunters. Our engineering team worked hand-in-hand with the MeatEater team on every aspect, from design to testing, and even down to the aesthetics, to ensure we delivered the best possible product. The result exceeded every expectation. I’m excited to take it into the field this season, and I know the MeatEater crew is just as eager to use it on their next hunt.”

The MeatEater by BANISH 30-caliber suppressor is available now with an MSRP of $1,299. To make a purchase or for more information visit Silencer Central’s website.

Forward Control Designs Introduces Muzzle Devices for Allen Engineering Suppressors

Thursday, October 3rd, 2024

Forward Controls is excited to introduce our latest Muzzle Devices for Allen Engineering Suppressors: the 6315AE & 6310AE! While the Mk12 brake is well-known and, by our strict standards, actually a pretty good muzzle brake, we understand that there are often major benefits to using a flash hider instead. The 6315AE is a version of our 6315 that’s been designed to accept Allen Engineering 223 sound suppressors. The 6315 itself is based on the TDP A2 compensator and features smaller 3 and 9-o’clock ports. This forces more gas to be vented through the top 3 ports. Over the years, we’ve added small improvements; the most notable is the internal grooves that help keep the flash inside the cone cavity, rather than outside the muzzle device. Flats are incorporated for installation using a standard AR15/M16 armorer’s wrench or a 3/4″ wrench.

For those familiar with our naming conventions, you may have already deduced the calibers and thread pitches these devices are designed for. However, let’s recap:

• The 6310AE is for 30 caliber firearms, with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch.

• The 6315AE is for .223/5.56 caliber, with a 1/2 x 28 thread pitch.

Both muzzle devices can be found here: www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/allen-engineering

Both muzzle devices share a length of 1.88″ and weigh 2.30 oz. They’re crafted from 4140 steel and feature a black nitride finish. True to our commitment, these are designed, manufactured, and materials sourced entirely within the USA.
