In our Photo Of The Day, we’re going to take a look at suppressors from A-TEC in Norway. There may be some Heckler & Koch content here as well. The A-TEC company was founded in 1999, in a garage as many other start-ups. The mission was to make better silencers than the ones that existed.

Now remember that Norway is a country that doesn’t regulate suppressors, so there’s quite some potential compared to other more restricted countries. I quote Wikipedia on the legal matter (Source):

Suppressors are not regulated under Norwegian law, and may be purchased by anyone. Suppressors are also legal while hunting, and seen as a necessity for more comfortable shooting and to lower the environmental impact of noise.

Nowadays A-TEC is located in a top modern factory of 600 square meters, from where they serve a market ranging from Northern Europe all the way to South Africa. Their production capacity is 80,000 suppressors.

Below you can see one of the suppressors for the Heckler & Koch MP7.

These pictures were taken during testing and evaluation of A-TEC suppressors.
