The Combat Application Technologies CAT AKB is a midsize 30 caliber rifle silencer with competitive muzzle suppression for its size and a flow rate conducive to effective use on various different weapon platforms, including semiautomatic rifles.  The SBX technology in the 3D printed Inconel CAT AKB is also used in the 5.56 CAT ST; this updated CAT silencer technology produces scalable performance on several common barrel lengths. The CAT AKB is also available in a titanium model, for reduced weight.  Both HUB mount system compatible and QD versions of the silencer are also available.

In this review, the CAT AKB performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a short barrel gas-operated 7.62 NATO rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the CAT AKB perform on your 14.5-in barrel battle rifle?
