Surefire’s Tiny New Supressors
October 2nd, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Rob Curtis
Surefire snuck out two new 5.56mm suppressors at Modern Day Marine Expo. The Mini and the Micro are stubby little suckers that add barely 3.6 and 2.6 inches to a weapon’s muzzle but cut down weapon signature and improve unit communication.
The Mini was designed for a 14.5″ barrell and the Micro was designed for the 16.5″-and-up-club. We’ve heard they give considerable sound attenuation for their size on these barrel sizes. Surefire says you can go shorter to make SBR work without earpro comfortable, or at least bearable in most situations. Just don’t expect to hear a pin drop when blasting through a room with a 10.5″ barrel.
The two little guys come with Surefire’s fast and solid threadless Fast-Attach system that requires the use of one of their muzzle breaks, flash hiders or compensators. No price, yet.

October 5th, 2009 at 12:53For fun shooters like us, a suppressor should be as quiet as possible. I can’t see a muzzle can on a 5.56 AR being less than 2″ in dia. and 10″ long. I can picture an AR with a ported bbl to reduce the velocity to sub-sonic. Jack.
