The B&T Print-X RBS sound suppressor in a version adapted to the .223 Rem/5.55 mm NATO caliber is a sound moderator manufactured by the Swiss company Brügger & Thomet. It was made using the Inconel laser bonding technique and is designed for use with carbines and submachine guns. This solution eliminates the presence of welds, which could potentially be a critical point of the suppressor. The design is characterized by the presence of a low-pressure chamber, which expands a significant amount of powder gases and thus counteracts the backpressure phenomenon. What's more, this suppressor does not require the use of gas regulators in weapons that are fed by discharging powder gases through a side hole in the barrel.
Features of the B&T Print-X RBS sound suppressor:
- It is a device that moderates the sound level of a gunshot through the presence of powder gas expansion chambers.
- It was made with innovative Inconel laser bonding technology, thus eliminating issues.
- It is equipped with an innovative system to reduce the phenomenon of the so-called backflow of gunpowder gases on the shooter (RBS).
- The suppressor is compatible with any system equipped with a HUB-type adapter.
- The Print-X series has a Bead-Blasted finish and an improved flash reduction tip.
- It is equipped with a high-performance STAR-type internal baffle system manufactured by B&T.
Effective reduction of powder gas blasts
The low-pressure chamber used in the Print-X minimally affects the size and weight of the suppressor compared to conventional baffled designs. At the same time, it provides a reduction in noise and flash signature.
