With the dramatic rise of suppressor use on semi-auto AR15s, more and more people are experiencing the unpleasant gas blowback attributed to suppressed weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a suppressor is notorious for increased back pressure. In turn, this also causes more gasses to be blown back into the action of the system. From here, it exits the upper and lower from anywhere it can. Most of these gasses escape from the ejection port and around the charging handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/today-kicks-off-the-first-day-of-gunsamericas-50000-12-days-of-shot-giveaway\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"vtlor-weapon-systems-gas-busting-charging-handle-shot-show-2023\" title=\"VTLOR Weapon Systems' Gas-Busting Charging Handle -- SHOT Show 2023\">GunsAmerica\u2019s 12 Days of SHOT Giveaway \u2014 $50K in Guns &amp; Gear!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, VTLOR added a rubber seal around the top of the charging handle to help keep any gas from escaping over the top of the charging handle and directly into the shooter&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1059\" height=\"706\" title=\"VTLOR Weapon Systems' Gas-Busting Charging Handle -- SHOT Show 2023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited.jpg\" alt=\"VTLOR Weapon Systems' Gas-Busting Charging Handle -- SHOT Show 2023\" class=\"wp-image-174143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited.jpg 1059w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_3360-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1059px) 100vw, 1059px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rubber seal that mates up to the upper receiver.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another step they took was adding a bleed-off port to the side of the charging handle.
