Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Moccasin]

What I really want is a sub 10 oz can for my 35 cal (35 whelen) and 45-70 that are sub 130 db. I have a jk can that’s under 10 oz, but it’s really loud. The v1 banish 46 is quiet, but super heavy at 22 oz.

I’d like a .375 cal can, but I’m with you.

Really, right now, and I could be severely wrong, but, I don't think it has cost airlock or UK any sales in any way. Both are so new to the suppressor game, to normal folk, they haven't really shown up on the radar yet. I mean no disrespect to either company or suppressor. It is just when you google them, like most people interested in getting a suppressor will do. Neither company shows up on Silencer Shop, Silencer Central or Capital Armory. I live in Tennessee and these are the 3 places I check for suppressors etc. In fact till I found this site, I had never heard of Unknown Munitions either. Living in Idaho it may be a different story. In fact the only website I can even see is for Unknown, I cant find one for airlock except on facebook or instagram, I could have the spelling wrong, but still, they are hard to search for. Now 3-5 years from now, all of this could be a different story, but for now, they both are just getting their feet wet, mistakes will be made, and lessons learned. I wish them both all the luck in the world, the more manufactures the better, and ultimately the lower the prices will come. I will be glad when there is a national spec we can all compare from.

There is an issue with the search engine indexing for the Airlock sites. That’s why the site is hard to find.

All suppressors come with capabilities and limitations. All suppressor design is a balance between weight, length, diameter, suppression, flexibility, etc. There is no free lunch.

The Airlock 6.5 could be great on a 6.5, but it cannot be used on a .270 or 7mm. Would I be better off with an Airlock 7mm than a 6.5mm? I don’t know. The Airlock 7mm may be a trifle louder than the Airlock 6.5mm. Or a trifle longer, heavier, etc.

If you are willing to have one dedicated 3d-printed can for each rifle caliber, then you can get the absolute best suppression for that caliber at a given weight, length, diameter, etc. But that comes at the cost of flexibility and economy. And the suppression gains are still marginal. They can be measured objectively. They can be heard subjectively. But they are still marginal gains. It’s up to the consumer to decide if an Airlock .223, 6, 6.5, 7, or .30 makes the most sense for his or her use case.

From data on IG, the 7mm gravity they tested was 5.5" and under 7oz. So it's a lil bigger than the 65 version. Pre-orders open later this month.

I feel the best do all in compact form 30 cal and under with the best at ear numbers is still the deadair ti XC, that could be till airlock comes out with a 6" 30 cal can!

Some airlock testing I did the same day as my previous videos , the camera is too close to get a good representation of sound like the previous videos , but the muzzle blast is represented well …put in ear buds for the best results

Based on your test, are the Hyperion and the airlock the best? I couldn’t tell a difference in sound on the video but they seemed to have less blast.

The Hyperion and airlock are in a totally different class of sound suppression . I’ll do another video when I get a chance with the camera further away .

Check this side by side out and make sure you’re watching in 1080P or better
