Suppressor Back Pressure Test: Huxwrx, SilencerCo, Dead Air, KGM, Surefire, & More
A good suppressor isn't determined just by sound reduction, back pressure plays a huge roll in how your rifle will function (or not function) once a suppressor is attached. In this video we tested 22 different suppressors with a 16" AR15 using PMC XTAC 5.56 55gr to determine the amount of back pressure each suppressor creates. We utilized the Riflespeed gas control system, which allows 12 levels of adjustment, to determine the amount of adjustment needed to reliably obtain bolt hold open. See the list below for a full list of all the suppressors tested.

I was having fomo thinking this channel had been putting out quality content like this for years. Turns out they are just getting started. Very well done.
Haha, yeah we just started a couple weeks ago. Thanks for watching, much more to come! 🍻
hahah we are a new channel, thanks for joining us! Thank you for your support and positive feed back!
Well you hit my algorithm which is good news. Shows you have a very bright future ahead.
thank you for your comments and support !! yes we were at 4/5k and in the last 12 hours jumped to 10k so YT has ID's us.
Yeah I agree. Good to see more suppressor content on youtube.
😂 that's funny. Great comment.
I have to watch my lung health, so this is very much appreciated and will greatly help all those out there with lung conditions like COPD or for those watching their lung/toxin exposure!
Oh man, I am sorry. I am glad this helped! thank you for supporting the channel =)
Really appreciate all of the time, money, and effort to do this testing!
Thank you, it's taken years to build the collection but the wait times have dropped dramatically in the past few months. Thanks for watching 🍻
Thank you so much! It’s definitely not a simple thing. But we do enjoy sharing to help educate the industry so that they can use their purchasing power best. We’re going to continue to provide non-biased, opinions, and educational content. Make sure you like and subscribe. Thank you so much for your positive feedback andcomments
Good on Huxwrx for really creating a giant leap forward in suppressor tech. They deserve the profits they’re getting because of that… but man, I’m not going to be mad when the patents expire and there can be some more affordable flow-through competition, either 😂
totally!! Thanks for your positive comments and support!
I'm a suppressor addict&and looking forward this new channel
Thanks, we have plenty more on the way!
awesome !! thanks for the positive feed back!!!more to come!
Thanks for putting in the work to evaluate all those suppressors
I'm shocked I was able to find a comprehensive video with measured back pressure of my incredibly old AAC SDN6, kuddos to you on this, you made my week. i'm fairly certain this back pressure was causing all kinds of roughness in all of my guns over the years and I had no idea.
Yeah, Rob's been deep into suppressors for many years. Glad you found the video helpful, we have lots of educational videos to come including how to mitigate back pressure, so stay tuned!.
hahahha old school like me.. Thank you for your feed back and positive comments.
I'm interested in getting my first suppressor. This was extremely helpful and solidified my choice to go with Huxwrx. Thank you!
Back pressure is highly important, but not that high back pressure cans may be a bit quieter. There are trade-offs to be aware of. We'll be doing a video on sound suppression in the near future.
You can't go wrong with that. I have 2 of them and you'd be surprised how well the 5.56k Flow works. Its probably my favorite one I own.
glad we could help! thank you for your comments and support
You should take a look at the Silencer Co Velos LBP
@@noway6633 we have one on the way for testing
KZhead has needed a channel like this for a while, keep it up 💪
you rock! thank you! thank you for your positive feed back and support
My first can is on the way. Very excited
thanks for posting this and spending the time on it. there's a lot to consider when it comes to diagnosing suppressors- far more than just sound reduction. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and comments. You’re right there’s much more to consider. This is one of several topics and will be doing many more videos. Some have already been filmed and are in the editing process and some are waiting to be filmed. We also have about 17 more suppressors on the way. Thank you again for your support.
The production quality and depth of information in this video is amazing, especially for a channel of this size. Well done!
Thanks for watching, many more videos to come!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support. We have many more videos in the shoot. We’re also going to be filming again this week for some more topics we’ve come up with. If you have some topics you would like to see covered. please feel free to let us know! Thank you again.
This is awesome. Very grateful to you guys for putting together this sort of analysis.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video! I'm excited to see your results on the silencerco velos line!
me too! should have it soon! thanks for the feed back
Really interesting to see so many direct comparisons on tis topic.
Excellent, data driven vid and production! Thanks for publishing and educating. Please keep them coming.
thanks man!! Thank you for your support and positive feed back!
Wow, this is a super young channel. Glad to get in on the ground floor, your production looks fantastic. Just picked up my second suppressor (Griffin PSR-7 OTB). Excited for what's to come!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support. We did just launch this channel. We have run a few other channels, but have decided to commit to suppressors specifically. This is a topic of which I am very passionate, and I am very excited to share with this very niche audience. Thank you so much for your support and hopping on early with us. Look forward to much more great content.
Not a single CGS or CAT can… the KGMs are awesome though and the info and the video is appreciated. Thanks for the video
I feel lucky to follow this new channel so early on
Thank you! Yes, we just launched this channel. It’s not our first channel but it’s our first channel dedicated specifically to silencers. It’s a topic of which I’m very passionate and excited to share. Thank you for hopping on and supporting us.
Flow 556k purchase justified ✅
hahah glad we could help! I am finding some sick new things with the B&T and the Vloes too! Thank you for your support and positive comments!

My 36M is a smoke factory. I’d love to see how it does with your testing.
@@mavrikmavrik3032 I do have one. It’s currently living on one of my 338LM’s. I’ll remove it and put it in the next batch of testing for you. Should be filing again in the next few days, I’ll include that one in it.
SCO VELOS, got it yesterday and will begin testing today!
Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you! More posting today!
Thanks for the videos! I am learning a lot before I buy one.
Awesome, that's why we started the channel...to help folks make good decisions on the suppressor they choose. Thanks for watching 🍻
happy to help!
def earned a sub!!! amazing. i got a 556k on its way so was hoping it would score high as my main use case if limited back pressure. i am now satisfied!
Thank you, much appreciated 🍻

Thanks for your positive comments and support!
Great information. Keep the videos coming
Thanks for watching !
thank you for your comments and support
Good job!
My huxwrx Ventum is an incredible suppressor. For a good price too. Not surprised about the RC3. Great video and presentation, looking forward to more videos.
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Yeah! it might be one of my fav cans currently! Thank you for your support and positive feed back!
Love the video !!
Great results of suppressor comparison. My #1 is back pressure, then sound.
100% agree with you. For me, I initially was in search of compact, Hollywood small. Then I wanted quiet. Now I’ve moved on to don’t have negative effects on my rifle. Which basically means Back pressure has become my greatest priority now.
Me too. Unless I’m shooting .22 LR or subsonic .300 BLK, I’m going to be wearing ear pro pretty much no matter what. Which means I’m protected from sound. If it greatly reduces sound and flash signature, (which the huxwrx does), but also keeps me from breathing in toxic gasses and keeps my rifle running great, I’m happy.
This was great and really educational. I have a can in Jail right now and didn’t even consider getting a rifle speed gas block
We use Riflespeed gas controls on our builds a lot, it's definitely one of our favorite mitigation options. Thanks for watching, hopefully your can will be free soon!
Glad you’re enjoying the channel, look forward to much more. Thank you for your positive feedback and support.
NICE WORK BRO!
Thank you! =)

Thank you for you positive feed back and support!
Great video!
Thank you for watching! KZhead has been targeting our account and other 2A channels by randomly turning off comments on videos. We'd greatly appreciate it if you would consider subscribing if you haven't done so already so we can defeat the algorithm. Thanks for watching 🍻
Great video, lots of amazing information !!
Thanks, we appreciate you!
thank you for the positive feed back!
Great video, packed full of excellent content. I liked and subscribed and was wondering how do you only have 400 subscribers, then I realized this is your first video. I wish you much success and I believe it will come soon. I watch a lot of KZhead videos and this is a top tier production. This test and the results are very helpful, unlike the marketing reviews that dominate this space. Very impressive.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support. Yes, we just launched this channel a few days ago. We have many more videos that will release in the next few days and we’re working on several more as well as grabbing several more suppressors to review.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Great info... Love the OSS
Thank you for the positive feedback and support!
Great video! If you ever get your hands on an AB suppressor I would love to see the same analysis. They are supposed to be reduced back pressure because of the special baffle design as well as the ability to add a reflex to increase the volume of the blast chamber.
You've got a new subscriber in me, good stuff!
Thanks, much appreciated 🍻
Thanks for the info.
thank you for watching and supporting!
A suggestion for future testing: once you’re down to setting 1, swap out to progressively longer plungers in the Riflespeed gas block until you start to lose bolt hold open. That way, you can still rank all the super high backpressure suppressors in order of severity. Great video. Thank you for putting in the effort to test!
have you looked up their vid on how to do that?
@@Ertactical No, but do you find swapping plungers to be particularly difficult?
Great information, keep it up
thank you for your comments and support
Great video, immediately subbed
Thank you for your support and positive feed back!
Great video! Waiting on my first can right now. Subscribed to the channel
Thank you for your support and positive feed back!
Much appreciated!
Nice comparison. I do put sound suppression above back pressure. I cannot wait for the remedy videos.
we have a DB guy coming to help us on our next one!
me too, but i want both! hahah i am greedy! thank you for your support! =)
Great video. Far and away my Dead Air Nomad-L is the best performer in terms of sound suppression, but it’s also the most restrictive. The back pressure is so high that I had to buy the E-Brake flow through end cap just to be able to get my AR’s to cycle properly. In addition to swapping for a heavy buffer, heavy spring, and major gas block tuning.
yes, i am not a fan of them at all! have several clients with them and they are not great cans. We will be making another vid on how to mitigate back pressure, thank you for your support! =)
Great video 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching 🍻
