In this video I'm testing some of the newest 5.56 suppressors to hit the Silencer Analytics collection on matched 11.5-inch Colt-barreled gas guns—and one suppressor I wasn't expecting may have just earned itself a place among my favorite 5.56 cans. The baseline is the Stealth Additive Works TISHA 5.56. If you've watched the channel, you know why. The TISHA has become one of my favorite all-around 5.56 suppressors because it combines excellent sound performance, extremely low back pressure and a compact package. Instead of testing these new suppressors in isolation, I'm putting them directly against a known top performer. We're testing sound at the shooter's position and approximately 20 yards away, then moving into my adjustable-gas back-pressure testing to see how these suppressors actually affect the host rifle. The test hosts are matched 11.5-inch Colt-barreled rifles configured to eject away from the shooter. That helps minimize ejection-port noise contaminating what I'm hearing during the side-by-side comparisons. Among the suppressors in this test is the Griffin Armament DUAL-LOK HRT-556, along with its more compact counterpart, the returning AAC SDN-6, the TISHA baseline and several other new suppressors I've recently received. And then the Coyote Ti showed up. That was the surprise of the test. On these rifles, the Coyote Ti sounded extremely close to the TISHA. Then we moved into back-pressure testing and it produced essentially the same setting as the TISHA in this particular test. Quiet AND extremely low back pressure. That's a combination that gets my attention very quickly. The DUAL-LOK HRT-556 also performed extremely well and earned its way into the conversation with the other high-performing 5.56 suppressors I've been testing. The compact HRT configuration was interesting for another reason. K cans normally force you to make a noticeable sound-performance sacrifice for the reduction in length. This one still produced a surprisingly good tone, although on an 11.5-inch 5.56 I would personally still want hearing protection. I also brought the AAC SDN-6 back out. I've been extremely impressed with what the new SDN-6 has done, particularly with .300 Blackout subsonic ammunition. But putting it on an 11.5-inch 5.56 gas gun demonstrates something important: Bigger doesn't automatically mean a better shooting experience. Once you introduce the operating system, ejection-port noise and gas into the equation, there can be diminishing returns from simply installing a larger .30-caliber suppressor. That's one of the reasons dedicated compact 5.56 suppressors have become so good. The current generation is giving us combinations of sound, size, weight and gas management that simply weren't available from older designs. And the competition at the top is getting VERY crowded. I now have roughly 10 5.56 suppressors that could legitimately be discussed among my favorites depending on the application. The next Silencer Analytics Buyer's Guide is coming soon, and 5.56 is going to be one of the hardest categories I've ever had to narrow down. If you want a dedicated video where I take my top 20–25 5.56 suppressors and explain exactly WHY each one made the list, comment: 5.56 DEEP DIVE I'll put them on the table and break down sound, back pressure, size, weight, construction, host considerations and where each suppressor makes the most sense. Silencer Analytics and Rob Orgel are your authority in suppressor knowledge and testing. With 317 silencers accumulated and tested, this channel provides a massive real-world data point for your silencer research and purchasing decisions. No single number tells the entire story. That's why we keep putting these suppressors on real rifles, shooting them side-by-side and examining the complete system.
