\"Suppressor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you call them silencers, cans, gun mufflers, or\nsuppressors, once you enter the wonderful world of quiet shooting, there\u2019s no\ngoing back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead Air ranks at or near the top of any list of suppressor companies. Founded by suppressor godfather Mike Pappas, Dead Air<\/a> has made a name for itself constructing high-quality, super-quiet cans right here in the USA. They\u2019ve followed the release of their popular Nomad 30 with an even quieter suppressor designed for big calibers and hard use\u2014the Nomad L<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of Fossil Pointe Sporting Grounds<\/a> in Decatur, Texas, I had a chance to compare the Nomad L to three other suppressors: the Nomad 30, the Dead Air Sandman-L, and the SilencerCo Hybrid. I shot and recorded rounds from a bolt action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, an AR-15 chambered in .308 WIN, and another AR-15 chambered in 300 Blackout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad L consistently suppressed sound as well as or better than any of the other cans (usually better). The L isn\u2019t the cheapest suppressor on the market, but nothing beats its performance and durability\u2014even more expensive cans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design and Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That performance starts with the design and manufacturing process. The Nomad-L is designed and manufactured in Georgia, and uses a tubeless design with 17-4 stainless steel laser-welded baffles. The end cap is constructed from Grade 5 titanium, and the rear mount is nitrided stainless steel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 17-4 stainless steel used for the baffles is a precipitation-hardened steel designed<\/a> to provide corrosion resistance and high strength at temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. It is full-auto rated for 5.56 NATO, but users shouldn’t feed more than five or six mags through without letting the can cool off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad-L is constructed with top-of-the-line materials. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad-L can be directly threaded onto the end of a rifle with a 5\/8×24″ pitch (as I did in this review) or attached using Dead Air’s KeyMo<\/a> attachment system. The Nomad-L can be used with E-Brake<\/a> as well, which reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, Dead Air puts their money where their mouth is. All Dead Air products are covered by a warranty<\/a> against all manufacturing defects and damages caused by the normal use of this product. The warranty doesn\u2019t cover things like abuse, neglect, and misuse, but they\u2019ll replace your can for any other reason<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Listening to some folks describe suppressor sounds reminds me of listening to fine wine or craft beer connoisseurs describe their favorite beverage. I can appreciate their well-trained palates, but when it comes to suppressors, I\u2019m only interested in one thing: comfort. Does this suppressor allow me to shoot without experiencing discomfort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Suppressor
From left to right: Dead Air Sandman-L, SilencerCo Hybrid, Nomad 30, and Nomad-L. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that just because a shot report feels\ncomfortable doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not causing hearing damage, especially over the\ncourse of an entire range session. But we don\u2019t use suppressors because we like\nthe sound in the same way a wine expert likes the taste of wine\u2014we use them to\nprotect our hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the standard I used when I compared the Nomad L, Nomad 30, Dead Air Sandman-L, and SilencerCo Hybrid across .308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 300 Blackout. To help you see, hear, and visualize what I heard, I also took video of every can and caliber and threw the sounds in an audio editor to produce an audio signature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to know about suppressor videos is that they\ndo a poor job representing the in-person experience. Microphones are designed\nto bring all volumes to within a certain decibel range\u2014they make loud sounds\nquieter and quiet sounds louder. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve included under each video a\nsummary of the notes I took while shooting. Along with the sound charts below,\nI hope they\u2019ll give you a clearer picture of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.5 Creedmoor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like a quality suppressor on a bolt gun. The Nomad L on a Howa 1500 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor was the most pleasant supersonic round I fired all day. I didn\u2019t use a decibel meter because smart people tell me it\u2019s doesn\u2019t tell you whether a sound is \u201chearing safe\u201d or not. But even though the Nomad L may not have been technically hearing safe, it felt that way. I experienced no discomfort in either ear, and I couldn\u2019t discern a first-shot pop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote \u201chearing safe-ish\u201d in my notes about the Nomad 30. I\ndid experience some discomfort in my left ear, and you can actually hear a\ndifference in the video. It wasn\u2019t unpleasant, but not as comfortable as the L.\nI noticed a sharper pop while shooting the Sandman, and duller thud while\nshooting the Hybrid. They both produced a similar level of discomfort as the\nNomad 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

308 Win.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad L suppressed the .308 Win. more effectively than the other cans I tested. None performed poorly, to my ears, but the L produced the least discomfort. None were as comfortable as the 6.5 Creedmoor, which is due partly to the cartridge and partly to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad L produced a sharp crack, but I found the sound to\nbe manageable for one or two rounds in succession. I\u2019d want to wear hearing\nprotection if I planned to shoot for an extended session, but the L would be\nperfect on a hunting rig when you only plan to take one or two shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nomad 30 was louder and less comfortable to shoot than\nthe L and the Sandman. I found the Sandman to be most comparable to the L, and\nthe Hybrid landed somewhere closer to the Nomad 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

300 Blackout (Supersonic)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting this caliber in the AR-15 SBR platform was the least comfortable of the three calibers I tested. Using suppressors was obviously a big step up from shooting unsuppressed, but even with the Nomad L, I found that my right ear rung with the report. All four suppressors were comparable, and all produced similar ear ringing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If God had a gun to my head, I think I\u2019d still give the nod\nto the L, with the Hybrid coming in second, the Sandman in third, and the Nomad\n30 in fourth. But all four were so similar, that you may well get different\nanswers from different shooters.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

300 Blackout (Subsonic)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is child\u2019s play for any suppressor worth its salt, and all four suppressors were up to the challenge. I didn\u2019t notice any difference among the cans tested\u2014in all four, the action produced the loudest sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Chart?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll be the first to admit that I\u2019m not a sound engineer (if\nthere are any sound engineers reading, let us know your thoughts in the\ncomments!), and the microphone I was using may not be sophisticated enough to\npick up significant differences. But the patterns I see align in several ways\nwith my impression of each can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Suppressor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Suppressor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Suppressor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, I couldn\u2019t discern any differences between the cans\nwhile shooting supersonic rounds from the 300 Blackout. As I mentioned above,\nthey were all uncomfortable to shoot, and the signature of each can is the most\nlike the \u201cno can\u201d signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, the 308 Win. was also uncomfortable through each\ncan, but the Hybrid was by far the least comfortable and the L was the most.\nYou can see in that chart that the Hybrid signature resembles the \u201cno can\u201d\nsignature more than any of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, you can see on the 6.5 Creedmoor chart that all\nsuppressors do a nice job modifying the \u201cno can\u201d signature, but the Hybrid\nquiets the sound more quickly than the other three. This could account for the\ndull thud I described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can take this for what you think it\u2019s worth. I find it interesting, but it may not mean much to someone with more technical sound training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eagle-eyed readers might point out that I didn\u2019t test the Nomad L with a Big Boy\u2122 cartridge. I wasn\u2019t able to bring any magnum rifles on this trip, but I did speak with Sam Scalco. Sam works at Fossil Pointe, and he\u2019s my go-to guy for suppressor info. Fossil Pointe<\/a> supplied me with the suppressors I used for this test, and Sam is constantly shooting and testing all the most popular suppressors on the market.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Suppressor
The Nomad-L’s length is still manageable on longer AR’s.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He told me that they compared the Nomad L against the much\nmore expensive Thunderbeast Ultra9 with 308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, and 7mm Mag. There\nwere several people on the range that day and most couldn’t tell any difference\nbetween the two, including while shooting the 7mm Mag. Of the people who said\nthey could tell a difference, some picked the Nomad L as quieter, and some\npicked the Thunderbeast Ultra 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not be familiar with Thunderbeast, but suffice it to say, anything that can stand toe-to-toe with one of their products is a winner. Plus, the Nomad-L is about $200 cheaper. Win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
