Suppressors From Freedom Armory Machine Works -The Firearm Blog

In less than a week, Freedom Armory Machine Works will be debuting the Dragoon 5.56 and 7.62 at this year’s SHOT Show. Including features of being fully disassembled for cleaning, machined from solid titanium bar stock with no welds and being rated up to .300 Weatherby Magnum (7.62 version), the Dragoon brings a lot to the table.

The Dragoon 5.55 and 7.62 is available in a direct thread or one-handed quick detach mounting system.

Although decibel readings don’t necessarily tell a silencer’s whole story, one detail I especially appreciate is that they outline their sound reduction testing procedures here:

Following the standards & procedures as outlined in Paulson, Alan C., Silencer History and Performance, Volume 1 chapter 5

1.0 meter to the left of muzzle 90 deg to the bore axis

1.6 meters above non-reflective surface

No reflecting surfaces near by

10 rounds are fired & averaged to determine performance

Atmospheric conditions are recorded

Equipment:
B&K 2209 meter
B&K type 4136 ¼” microphone
B&K type 4220 pistonphone

Many things can impact the performance of a suppressor (partial list):

Major impacts:
Host weapon
Barrel length
Ammunition

Minor impacts:
Temperature
Humidity
Local atmospheric pressure
Wind direction & velocity

Of course, they also manufacture a few other silencer models:

Freedom Armory Machine Works – Minuteman:

Introducing the Minuteman Suppressor from Freedom Armory Machine Works.

Freedom Armory has revolutionized modern suppressor technology with the first and only design using our patented* Gas Indexing Technology (GIT). GIT allows the rotational orientation of baffles as one relates to the next in a given stack to take advantage of differences in pressures between handguns and rifles. This provides the optimum in sound reduction capabilities on a host of different firearms allowing you to re-configure stacks as you transfer the suppressor between a handgun and a rifle.

FREEDOM ARMORY MACHINE WORKS – Grenadier:

Introducing the Grenadier Pistol Suppressor from Freedom Armory Machine Works.

Second in the family of revolutionary Freedom Armory suppressors that utilize our patented* Gas Indexing Technology (GIT), these .45, 9mm and 9mm CQB suppressors are balanced, lightweight and extremely robust. GIT allows the rotational orientation of baffles as one relates to the next in a given stack providing optimum sound reduction capabilities for a host of handguns and rifles.

Existing suppressor technology allows for only partial disassembly which greatly compromises cleaning abilities. Grenadier® features Total Breakdown Technology (TBT) that permits complete disassembly of all components, including piston housing, without the need for any special tools.
