The Maxim Defense DSX is a full-size 5.56 machine gun rated rifle silencer. With a manufacturer-rated barrel length minimum of 5.5 inches for fully automatic firing schedules, the DSX is appropriate for extreme duty use. The signature suppression performance of the silencer incorporated into the SURG exhibits the highest holistic suppression performance on a 10.3-in system tested by PEW Science, to date. Note that the DSX has also been evaluated by PEW Science on the standard MK18.

Suppressed Upper Receiver Group (SURG) systems are often fielded by end users requiring an optimized upper receiver system paired with a silencer. How would the Maxim Defense DSX SURG perform, compared to your AR15 short barrel rifle? Does tuning an AR-15 for a silencer make a difference?
