SSS.6.183 - BOE Mod 1 and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle
/The BOE Mod 1 is a full size multi-core rifle silencer. With its 5.56 core and solid end cap, the Mod 1 exhibits significant overall signature suppression performance, and its back pressure may be reduced with the use of a vented end cap. The outer tube of the BOE Mod 1 system is titanium, and the user may choose silencer cores of both different caliber and different material (Inconel or titanium). The 3D-printed cores are "swappable” by the user, from the manufacturer. Material choice, end cap choice, and core bore size choice will dictate user experience in blast overpressure suppression, depending on weapon system selection. The silencer’s core geometry provides a significant amount of surface area, which is one of factors producing its high muzzle suppression performance.
In this review, the BOE Mod 1 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a commonly fielded gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the BOE Mod 1 perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel?
