Five 5.56 Suppressors Side by Side

Sun Feb 22 2009
We had a chance to put these five .223 (5.56x45) suppressors side by side. Here are the Gemtech G5, Yankee Hill Machine Phantom 5.56, the Surefire FH556-212A, the OPS INC Model M4 MBS and the Gemtech HALO.

We did not get to shoot them all (yet) but here is a rare opportunity to see them all together to compare length, diameters, shapes colors and weights.

The shortest, and lightest is the Surefire FH556-212A in the center of the photograph but all these suppressors are close to the same size and weight.

We had a chance to photograph and then test fire one of our favorite firearm suppressors, the Surefire FH556-212A. This 5.56x45 (.223) suppressor is very short in length compared to most 5.56x45 suppressors and has a unique and easy to use quick attach system. Precise tolerances provide minimal and consistent zero shift no matter how often it is attached and detached
