Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Bater]

Yesterday I got to compare the 6.5ZG and my Scythe Ti on my 19” 260AI. And 7ZG and Scythe on a 7PRC. To my ears as the shooter, the Airlock ZG’s were quieter and had a better “sound” with less crack or concussive thump in both instances. This could be partially attributed to the Scythe’s Anchor Brake. I came into this comparison a little apprehensive as the ZG’s are much smaller dimensionally, and shouldn’t be as good as the Scythe. I wish I had taken a picture to show the size difference, totally forgot. Below are weights, Scythe, 7mmZG and 6.5ZG.

The zero g really defies logic , it’s such a great silencer

When I met up with @RAM190Hog to let him demo the Zero Gravity 6.5 I took a comparison photo of the Scythe, ZG 7, and ZG 6.5.

I let a couple buddies demo the zero G 6.5 vs a scythe on 24” 6.5 prcs . Standing right behind them the zero G was noticeably more pleasant than the scythe . The scythe had more “ concussion “ most likely do to the muzzle brake . They were thoroughly impressed .

Zero G compared to an Enticer STI

Got a few rounds through the ZG last night. REALLY wanted to use this can in wyoming this weekend so blasted out to the range after work just to check zero with it real fast. Had to adjust right .2 then it was ping ping ping at 400, 500, and 640. Pack up and home in time to make dinner and load the truck.

First impressions. This thing is comically light. Doesn't even feel real. On my 19" 6x284 norma RSS its hardly noticeable on the front. The balance point is akin to have a steel 4 port brake on the front.

She's real quiet. Had a random guy near me come shoot it twice so I could listen to it. The tone is different and not as "soft" as a raptor 8 but was not unpleasant. No ting like an a-10. The tone is "hollow" sounding. Not sure how to describe it better. I feel like my wife describing car noises to a mechanic haha. She definitely heats up quick which is to be expected being so light.

All in all I'm pretty tickled with it as a dedicated hunting can on an overbore 6mm that I try hard not to burn down though I've got 400 rounds on it in like 2 months

Despite its small size, the Airlock sounds like the real deal. Is this the new reference standard hunting can?

It does seem incredibly promising.

I’ve said it a few times but it doesn’t make sense how quiet this thing is . It’s quieter than my harvester evo , buddies scythe and right with my Hyperion K . It’s also in another league of suppression than my raptor 4 with 3” reflex and another new reflex silencer that I won’t name .

IMO it’s top dog in the compact silencer niche , and it’s not even close

What kind of speed are you getting with the 6-284?

3200 with a 105 hybrid

6x284 is essentially a 6prc on a 308 bolt face. Good cartridge choice for sure!

 

[Karl B]

He never heard it coming.

Awesome man ! Taking mine on a goat hunt next week !

Awesome! What were the specs you gave LS Wild for your can cover?

Yeah for sure, I thought about doing a 6-284 many times. Sweet cartridge

 

[Dan Carey]

I'll bet he never heard it going either.

 

[Trogon]

Anyone commented yet on how this compares with the US reaper?

1.7x5. Torched 5 in a row at a dog town this morning and I got some melting. May not be the best cover for the airlock
