The PWS BDE 556 is a modular 5.56mm centerfire rifle silencer that may be configured as full-size or compact. The silencer possesses relatively high gross suppression performance in both its longest and shortest configurations, on the standard MK18 weapon system, while possessing higher back pressure compared to some designs. It is a titanium silencer of hybrid design, constructed with both DMLS and traditional subtractive manufacturing. With three different configurations, the BDE 556 is relatively unique as a modular rifle silencer and also possesses a modular rear mounting interface that may be used with a variety of mounting solutions and muzzle devices.

In this review, the PWS BDE 556 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 PWS BDE 556 perform on your AR15 short barrel rifle?
