RD USA’s Blast Attenuation Device for 30mm cannons is the first suppressor I’m aware of in that caliber.
Promising attenuation of over 80% of the pressure of a 30mm cannon, the technology fits right in with the Department of Defense’s recent emphasis on lowering service member’s exposure to over pressure.
Developed by RD USA, the BAD-30 will be on display in their booth (#4125) as well as the Northrop Grumman booth (#1325) which coordinated on its development.
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 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.

Primary Weapons Systems announces a new caliber addition to the B.D.E™ Suppressor line is currently shipping to dealers.
BOISE, ID. 27 June, 2024 – PWS (Primary Weapons Systems) is proud to announce the new addition to the successful BDE® suppressor line, the BDE45, is now shipping to dealers.
The BDE line of suppressors started in 2022 with the original 7.62x51mm offering—the BDE762 – and expanded in 2023 to include the BDE9, BDE22, and BDE556 caliber additions. The new BDE45 is machined with aerospace-grade titanium, which is lighter and stronger than traditionally machined aluminum. The suppressor is also finished with a durable PVD coating as well as an exterior textured design that dissipates heat and mirage, regardless of round count. Tapered threading prevents carbon locking and loosening between baffles, while symmetrical internal baffles enhance accuracy. The key feature of the BDE® line is the modularity. The BDE45 measures at just 5.88” in its shortest configuration and 8.18” at its longest configuration (measured without mount). The BDE45 is also incredibly light, weighing anywhere between 8.8 and 11.1oz depending on the configuration. The BDE45 can handle firearms up to .45-70 caliber is priced competitively at $749.99 and is available now through participating PWS dealers.
For more information on PWS, visit www.primaryweapons.com and/or stay tuned to PWS eNewsletters and social channels. To purchase a BDE45, contact your local PWS dealer.
