With a 3D-printed core formed out of Inconel 625, the can\u2019s low back pressure technology is carefully crafted to minimize blowback into the weapon while still offering class-defining performance. The Velos LBP has its core fully welded to front and rear modules cut out of 17-4 stainless steel. The result is fully auto-rated, has no minimum barrel length restrictions, and is breathtakingly durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2476-1024x389.jpg\" alt=\"AR-15 with grenade launcher\" class=\"wp-image-183200\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Back in 1934, the $200 transfer tax for an NFA item was the equivalent of $4,500 today.

It is imprinted upon their DNA. In the case of the Velos LBP, this cutting-edge sound suppressor is purpose-designed to address one thorny challenge. The Velos LBP helps keep you from asphyxiating yourself when out-firing your favorite direct gas impingement AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welcome-to-the-weeds\">Welcome to the Weeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>George Sullivan was a patent attorney for Lockheed Corporation when he incorporated ArmaLite back in 1954 as a tiny little subsidiary of the Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation. He leased a small machine shop to do prototype work developing cutting-edge small arms. ArmaLite never was intended to mass-produce firearms. They were essentially a think tank with a few machine tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2494-1-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"top to bottom, we have the Armalite AR10, the early AR15 as represented by the Brownells BRN Proto, and the Colt Model 602\" class=\"wp-image-183232\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From top to bottom, we have the Armalite AR10, the early AR15 as represented by the Brownells BRN Proto, and the Colt Model 602. Today&#8217;s M4 is the result of decades of mechanical evolution.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sullivan met a Marine veteran named Gene Stoner at a local firing range and hired him on the spot. Along with a few others, these two guys designed the ArmaLite AR10. The AR10 was a radically-advanced battle rifle chambered in 7.61x51mm. In 1956, Gene Stoner and Company miniaturized the AR10 to fire the .223 Remington round. This basic rifle eventually evolved into the M4 carbines carried by US troops serving downrange today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/44-1024x829.jpg\" alt=\"AR15 Broken Down\" class=\"wp-image-183238\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The direct gas impingement operating system employed in the AR15 is markedly simpler than that of many competing military weapons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-your-face\">In Your Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beating heart of this radical weapon was its direct gas impingement operating system. Inspired by both the French Rossignol ENT B1 and the Swedish Automatgevar m\/42, this system was the very image of simplicity. In the AR15, gas is tapped off at a port located some distance from the receiver. This high-pressure gas travels down a length of stainless steel hydraulic tubing to impinge upon the bolt carrier, which itself acts as a sort of piston. This energy forces the bolt carrier assembly to the rear and cycles the action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design is innately accurate and relatively inexpensive to produce. However, it does blow copious fouling back into the receiver. While that makes regular cleaning necessary for reliable operation, it also means that all those combustion gases end up in the shooter\u2019s face. The effect is magnified when using a conventional sound suppressor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not such big a deal if you are a flint-eyed Navy SEAL moving with a purpose through the bowels of a ship on a VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) op. However, if you are firing from a stationary point all that gun smoke can all but choke you. It turns out that this can indeed be very bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-details\">Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-12-at-2.31.58-PM-1.jpg\" alt=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\" class=\"wp-image-183234\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is French chemist Paul Vieille, the father of modern nitrocellulose gunpowder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First contrived in 1884 by a Frenchman named Paul Vieille, smokeless powder is the term used to describe the nitrocellulose-based gunpowders that ultimately replaced black powder for use in small arms. &#8220;Smokeless&#8221; powder isn\u2019t exactly smokeless, but it does produce markedly less smoke than its predecessor. Modern smokeless powders are remarkably complex chemical compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spunky bits used in smokeless propellants include&nbsp;nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, nitroguanidine, DINA (bis-nitroxyethylnitramine; diethanolamine dinitrate, DEADN; DHE), Fivonite (2,2,5,5-tetramethylol-cyclopentanone tetranitrate, CyP), diethyl glycol dinitrate, and acetyl cellulose. No, I don\u2019t know what all that stuff is, either, but it sounds pretty horrifying. In addition, modern powders typically include additives such as dinitrotoluene that retard the burn rate. Dinitrotoluene is both toxic and carcinogenic. Decoppering additives include compounds of tin and bismuth. Flash retardants are typically potassium-based. And then there is, of course, elemental lead in the base of the bullet and the primer compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adds-up-to-be-a-problem\">Adds Up To Be A Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All that stuff synergistically combines to make for a sublime shooting experience when we hit the range on a pleasant Saturday afternoon with our favorite sound-suppressed black rifle. These chemical compounds produce consistent downrange performance and remain stable through a wide range of temperatures. However, that\u2019s some undeniably vile stuff. You don\u2019t want to be getting it in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-1-1024x335.jpg\" alt=\"Early model AR15\" class=\"wp-image-183237\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My first AR15 looked very similar to this one. When first I shot it I was surprised at the ammonia odor it produced.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought my first AR15 rifle back in Tenth Grade. I was surprised by the strong smell of ammonia when I initially unlimbered it. However, ammonia is the least of our concerns. As smokeless propellants are nitrogen-based, they produce various oxides of nitrogen, oxides of carbon including carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide in addition to good old-fashioned ammonia. This is the reason the lawyers insist that \u201cOnly shoot in well-ventilated areas\u201d be splashed across your rifle\u2019s operating manual as well as every box of ammunition sold in America. However, even outdoors the effects can sometimes seem overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2497-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cigarettes kill 1000 times what an AR15 Does\" class=\"wp-image-183233\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here we see a pack of cigarettes sitting atop an &#8220;assault weapon,&#8221; should you choose to embrace insensible Left-wing terminology.

Protracted exposure to smoke and noxious fumes can lead to a wide variety of organic lung diseases. Cigarettes kill 478,000 Americans per year. If anything, the noxious chemicals in gun smoke are worse than those produced by tobacco. Common smoke-related maladies include emphysema, pneumonitis, chronic bronchitis, and a predilection towards lung cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/silencerco-announces-four-new-products-worlds-first-integrally-suppressed-9mm-pistol\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-silencerco-velos-lbp-sound-suppressor-stop-passing-gas\" title=\"The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SilencerCo Integrally Suppressed 9MM Pistol and More<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I once met a guy who had the coolest job in the world. For his entire career, he had worked as a sales rep for a company that produced machine guns. It was his job to burn zillions of rounds through some of the most high-speed weapons on the planet and then try to get representatives from military and Law Enforcement organizations to buy them. However, a lot of that shooting was done indoors or in enclosed spaces.

It comes from the factory with a Charlie ASR mount, an ASR flash suppressor for your rifle, an internal Charlie flash hider front cap, and all the tools you need to keep the can mounted and maintained. It is specifically designed for 5.56mm\/.223 Rem weapons. The Velos LBP is a sealed suppressor that doesn\u2019t require any dedicated maintenance beyond wiping it off from time to time. The Velos LBP weighs 15.2 ounces and is six inches long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/4-1024x545.jpg\" alt=\"The SilencerCo charging handle\" class=\"wp-image-183197\" title=\"2 - Will - The SilencerCo Velos LBP Sound Suppressor: Stop Passing Gas\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SilencerCo Gas-Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) is on the right alongside the GI sort.

The Velos LBP has an MSRP of $1,174, while the optimized SilencerCo GDCH charging handle is another $114. That\u2019s a whole lot of money.
