The Dead Air Nomad-30 is a mid-size, relatively light weight, and relatively durable .30 rifle silencer. As a 5.56x45mm rifle silencer, it can be considered full-size, relative to dedicated models for the cartridge. The Nomad-30 has been refined since its 2018 release, and is also offered in an updated titanium version which reduces the weight of the system by over 4 ounces. Users should note that the supersonic suppression and back pressure characteristics of the Nomad-30 (1st Gen) highlighted in this review represent lower bound performance of the silencer. Nomad-Ti 5.56x45mm data and analysis publication by PEW Science is forthcoming.

In this review, the Nomad-30 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a short barrel gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the Dead Air Nomad-30 (1st Gen) perform on your AR15 short barrel rifle?
