Stealth Project Suppressors
Rob PincusDescription
Rob Pincus is on the range firing a POF-USA .308 Revolution rifle but not wearing hearing protection, because a Stealth Project Suppressor is attached to the rifle. Let’s learn more about this unique suppressor design.
STEALTH PROJECT
The suppressor Rob is using is a .30-caliber suppressor, which means it will work on a .308, 7.62x39mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, and other .30-caliberish rounds. Stealth Project also makes an adapter so that this suppressor can be put onto a traditional 5.56mm or .223 AR and really not lose much. Because of the adapter, you might gain 1 decibel of sound, which is significant in terms of what you will hear, but it doesn’t change the fact that this is hearing safe, nor does it dramatically reduce the capabilities of this suppressor.
UNIQUE DESIGN
The Stealth Project suppressor has a design that’s unique among rifle suppressors in that it vents the gases forward behind the bullet. That means the rifle will not get as dirty and the shooter won’t have as much blowback as with one of the traditional rifle suppressors. This is a very big difference with a gas gun (not so much with the POF Revolution due to its design). The gases that come back into the shooter’s face make shooting less comfortable, and make the gun harder to keep clean in a lot of designs.
Shooters like to use rifle suppressors as one of their self-defense tools because they don’t need to use hearing protection, but being blasted in the face by hot gases is a downside of shooting a suppressor-equipped rifle. The Stealth Project suppressor solves this problem.
STAY TUNED
Rob plans to continue shooting rifles equipped with Stealth Project suppressors for rifle training, practice, and PDN videos, so look for more on this “best of both worlds” rifle suppressor soon.
As you can see, I'm not wearing hearing protection, and this is a suppressor. But this is a specific kind of suppressor. It's a Stealth Project Suppressor. And it's one that I'm actually kind of excited about spending more time with. Now, on Personal Defense Network, we've talked at different times about suppressors and the way that they might help. You might not want a full length .308 rifle, and by the way, this is the .308 POF Revolution Rifle. And this is a .30 caliber can from Stealth Project. Now, what that means is it'll work on .308 or 7.62 x 39, 6.5 Creedmoor, other 30 caliber-ish rounds. Also, they do make an adapter so that I can put this on to a .556 gun, a traditional .223 or .556 AR, and really not lose much. Because of the adapter, they say I might gain one decibel of sound. Now, we realize that decibels do exponentially change, right? So that's a big difference in terms of what you hear, but it doesn't change the idea of it being hearing safe. And it certainly doesn't dramatically reduce the capabilities of this suppressor. So that's important to remember as well. Stealth Project has a very unique design and what it's actually designed to do is something I've heard a lot over the years is vent the gases forward behind the bullet. What that means is, your gun isn't gonna get as dirty, and you're not gonna have as much blow back. Now, with a firearm like the POF Revolution, where we've got an operating rod, that's not as big a deal. But with a true traditional gas gun, this is a big deal. And the gases that come back into your face can make shooting less comfortable. And quite honestly, it makes it harder to keep the gun clean in a lot of designs. A lot of older suppressor technology, well, they just dirty up the guns and they make it less pleasant to shoot visually, in your face and what you're breathing, as opposed to where it's more pleasant with your hearing, obviously hearing protection. Stealth Project Suppressors, best of both worlds. And that's pretty cool. So keep an eye out for more information and more experience with these suppressors at Personal Defense Network.
