SSS.6.157- Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 and the MK18 5.56x45mm Short Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle
/
The Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 is a compact 30 caliber machine gun rated rifle silencer that possesses reduced sound signature suppression performance compared with many larger 7.62 silencers on the market, while possessing significantly reduced back pressure. The silencer may also be used on 5.56 weapon platforms; relative to dedicated 5.56 silencers, it may be considered full-size. The 762-MINI2 is identical in size to the 556-RC2, but exhibits significantly lower performance on 5.56 systems.
In this review, the Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 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 Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 perform on your MK18 with a 10.3-in barrel with both the 3-Prong and WARCOMP mounts? How does Surefire Total Signature Reduction technology performance scale with length, bore diameter, and baffle quantity? PEW Science Member case study included!
