Dead Air Armament: Ultimate .22LR Suppressor FRP Face-Off

[@peterbetrus187]

This is how you make a suppressor comparison video...zero words spoken, db meter, consistent guns, quick and to the point, good job.

[@newerest1]

the fact that they showed the gemtech g-core out edging their suppressor (a tiny bit) is proof positive they are honest

[@gheka35]

Annoying music ruined it for me

[@rangerdanger222]

At least they didnt jabber on for 45 min like most videos.

[@ArmedVeteran1987]

@@gheka35 it was ok

[@ClashOfTheTITIN244]

you were almost right, the music kills the whole purpose of a "silencer" video...i like the db meter too, not too bad of a video.

[@chadwalker8859]

After a eight month wait I finally received my dead air mask, all I can say is WOW! I was shooting steel the other day and couldn't resist grinning ear to ear! This suppressor is absolutely superb!! Thanks for making such a awesome product!!

[@Drunken_Playuh]

Just sent mine off about a month ago. Can’t wait.

[@krayons226]

Mike Pappas is a the man when it comes to making suppressor, always improving things.

[@MsPatriotfront]

This is not just a KZbin video.... it is service. Thank you for your service.

[@bmaxTJ]

Thanks Mike. Waiting on approval for my mask now.

[@kevinwhite5920]

Same, just ordered a mask yesterday. Last form 4 I did took seven and a half months.

[@Truckboy383]

This is awesome content. The comparison is epic without any fillers. Great work, Mike, and the team! Please do a rifle can comparison. Maybe 308 and 556?

[@mtsEnrique]

Can't wait for my spectre2 to come in. I'm happy with the way it ranked but I still may push to get a mask

[@andyhills]

Great job, on the new design! I have been waiting!

[@thedumbguncollector5546]

I’ve had a specter for about 12 years 9recently converted to specter 2). Gotta say, I feel like I made a pretty good call!

[@KingOfTheFuds]

I will always be a fan of Dead Air. Going to get the Sandman S. Honest company with high integrity. Which is extremely rare these days. Who stands by their products and their customers.

[@matthewnelson2690]

Awesome, would love to see shots 2-10 and those numbers also. You have to wonder how much quieter that monocore might really be.

[@videosuperhighway7655]

My dead air is pretty much permanently attached to my Ruger Mark IV. Might as well be an Integral suppressor, funny thing is it looks like one. What I find is how quiet it is, like shooting some kind of air pistol of sorts.

[@montepr803]

Mine is serving 8 to 10 with no parole. Can't wait

[@therimfirechannel515]

I really need to get one or two of these for the channel. Thanks for the video and inspiration that I need to get the process started. Excellent presentation. Just the facts, and letting real documented results speak for the products tested.

[@johngalt234]

Bought mine yesterday. Waiting on the ATF now.

[@scottkovacs585]

I have the Spectre II. Awesome suppressor. Only 1db off from dead air mask

[@sonnygunz9207]

Love my Spectre II & Warlock II. I want a Mask for sure. I'm not a fan of first round pop and all my suppressor purchases have proven it!! I know everyone who has monocore cans act like it's not a big deal but it kills it for me (& I still want a couple too hahaha). The Tacsol Axiom meters louder by several db's but sounds quite a bit quieter do to the great tone it has. Everything about that can is great. I hope the Mask will be even better for us. Love you Mike!

[@georgemartinez3996]

Just got mine out of jail. Can't wait to test it out.

[@postban]

Good Stuff Dead Air!

[@fomocore]

Funny, love it. I have Specter 2 my buddy has mask. Mask has overall better tone, specter is a tank eazy to clean in white vinager

[@1970351C2V]

Good video, keep them coming. Anxiously awaiting the Sandman Flash Hider and replacement endcaps!

[@DeadAirSilencers]

+1970351C2V Flash hiders will be available soon, we're still fine tuning the design.

[@1970351C2V]

That doesn't sound like soon. :)

[@jameswalker1075]

Love the video! I agree, wish there was an Element 2 in the video. I own all the same hosts used in the video and the element 2 has no FRP unlike my sparrow. Still waiting on my Mask ;) Keep up the great work!

[@JessesChannel]

I would like to see a video like this one with the ghost M, in a variety of different calibers.

[@davesmith1771]

I'd like to have seen the AAC Element two on this list. Good review though and much appreciated.

[@TMS5100]

i think you can guess why it wasnt on the list ;)

[@12799MaDeuce]

We need a report of how the cans compare over multiple shots (5 or 10). This gives a better idea of how bad FRP really is and how the can performs overall. Also need to know the kind of ammo (sub- or super-sonic).

[@mikepappas6415]

We will get to that. FRP had never really been addressed so we thought we would start there.

[@12799MaDeuce]

+Mike Pappas Awesome, thanks!

[@CrashPro1]

+Mike Pappas FRP is an important part, but i would also like to see the full comparison. just curious, why the 15-22? in my experience, it's one of the loudest rifles to suppress, at least from the shooters perspective. not sure if its action noise or maybe just gas coming out of the action but mine does not suppress well.

[@mikepappas6415]

+CRASH PRO 10 round average? I wanted to use something common. Maybe your recoil springs are bad?

[@CrashPro1]

+Mike Pappas 10 rounds would definitely suffice, although 5 would do the trick. My 15-22 has probably 2,000 rds through it, wouldn't think that would be enough on a .22 but my wives is almost brand new, just the other day she said i should try hers as i was complaining about how loud mine is LOL. It's comparable to a 9mm pistol with an Octane 9. My Sig 522 pistol sounds great though!

[@kappbadbloodz]

Dead Air has continuously impressed me in reviews. I am happy I made the right choice with the Sandman S. Now I know the right choice is the mask ^_____^

[@njgf4043]

No doubt dead air mask is quiet but for the others... was it the first round with the first round pop? Would be interesting to see the second or third round on the cans, or a 5 shot average....

[@MaryJane-bi6et]

What no Ruger Silent SR ???

[@DirtRider6512]

Would be nice to have the RAD 22 on this comparison. All the reviews have it being better than the rest.

[@dasboot9471]

Great concise video cool music too actually good job guys, big fan

[@MG_Sid]

Would like details on FRP and do a 10 round average faceoff. The measurement that you did with the pistol, the DeadAir measurement was impressive.

[@cowcabobizle]

Got a chance to shoot the 22 silencer at TIFF. Moves the goal post in what it means to suppress 22.

[@CrayCrayRedneck]

great video! got a sparrow, but it's not my favorite 22 can due to the FRP. my next 22 can is going to be the mask hd.

[@richardshippful]

This can is next on my list

[@j.p.4541]

Fantastic video guys, much appreciated!

[@TheGoatMumbler]

What ammo? Standard velocity? Subsonic?

[@apexdevelopmentgroup4821]

Do this test again, but this time include Stealth Project S22. They meter at or below 114 dB.

[@christopherboerstra7495]

Mike is such a funny guy, hopefully I can meet him sometime.

[@azboy2009]

Very straight forward!

[@w2evf]

Would like to see how the PTP Tactical stacks up

[@1timerod]

Can you use these Suppressors with the FX-9?

[@omg74]

Buenas desde España, un supresor para un rifle 22WMR magnum?

[@johnp1839]

Are there any lighter weight dead air mask 22LR suppressors coming out in 2021? 6.6 ounces is heavier than I would prefer on a pistol silencer but they are great products. Nice video:)

[@danielflowers1985]

Excellent video,

[@ShooterSD72]

lol to much fun! Great stuff!

[@yangjackson5491]

Or not to fun, that is the question...... I guess?

[@MaryJane-bi6et]

Want to see Ruger silent sr vs mask

[@gabrielsuarez3137]

for this test to be accurate, shouldn't you use the same gun and same bullets for each shot fired?

[@PinGorilla]

Good info. Too bad I already sent off my Form 4 for a Sparrow a few weeks ago. Did not realize that Dead Air had a 22 suppressor when I made my choice. I hate buyers remorse :(

[@DVLD0GG98]

How’s the sparrow

[@PinGorilla]

@@DVLD0GG98 Sparrow is a good can. I don't have any complaints really. Since I've made my original post 4 years ago there are modular 22LR cans now and I'd go that route if I wasn't married to the Sparrow.

[@DVLD0GG98]

PinGorilla I just put in for a sparrow is why I was asking 😂

[@PinGorilla]

@@DVLD0GG98 I don't think you can go wrong with the Sparrow. It maybe easier to to clean than the others.

[@DVLD0GG98]

PinGorilla I work at a gun shop so I got it at cost of the store from distributor so , not to bad

[@derekddurbin]

so I'm looking for the best 22lr silencer for 2016. i have a hunter town arms guardian 22 lr ss but I'm tired of it 20 + nfs items later i find myself killing squirrels in my backyard with my first LOUD 22 can. Any help???? Go with Pappas and Dead Air?

[@stavingbordom]

Great video!

[@mr.excitement689]

Have any changes been made to this suppressor since this video?

[@garye208]

thank you for the video

hmmm no aac element 2?

[@theoldJP]

can you do one with Mask-22 vs Element2?

[@clintmullins8670]

Is it fair to compare from from different hosts? (Ie: rifles and pistols?

[@clintmullins8670]

Lol revisiting 2yr later dnr realized the overlook, my bad

[@OrignalRecipe92]

Awesome video guys. Man I'd love to spend a day with you all talking about silencers. I'm just a wee fish in the world of nfa as a no name class 2 mfg. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to carve my name in the silencer history books. :)

[@mikepappas6415]

If we are ever in the same place at the same time. Let's do that.

[@OrignalRecipe92]

+Mike Pappas Should you ever find yourself in Cincinnati Ohio I'd be honored to take you up on that!

[@LordStickMax]

i wonder how my huntertown arms guarden 22 (gen 2) would stack up

[@kansascountry970]

how do you like it? I looked at some huntertown suppressors locally but haven't done too much serious comparing yet. It will probably be a year or two before I have the financial means to buy one but figure it doesn't hurt to ask now. I like the results of the dead air so far, especially in the 22/45 since that's the gun it would stay on most of the time for me.

[@LordStickMax]

Off Grid Kansas i really like it. seems real quiet to me but the only think i can compare it to was when i put my kesteral 556 can on my 22lr pistol. its a breeze to clean. just a quick whip down after a spray or two of frog lube solvent. can't beat the price and if anything goes wrong the registered part is pretty much indestructable.

[@richardthompson6863]

We have never gotten numbers anywhere close to that with a gcore can, I dont believe it will turn in numbers that low under water packed full of grease

[@gromnasty]

The song have a name ???

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

How about we compare sigs current gen 22 can instead of the old one

[@parkmellish2646]

Because this video was posted in 2015, I imagine

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

Park Mellish That would make sense i suppose.... Sig's first gen cans were just like surefire .... loud as F*#%....

[@gwman90]

Hmm no Element 2 I see.

[@DeadAirSilencers]

+buckshot Couldn't get our hands on one. Next time.

[@gwman90]

+Dead Air Silencers ohh no haha. Well if you're ever looking for one in the future let me know. I chose it because of the size/weight, no frp, and ss baffles. The mask22 wasn't around when I was buying though ;)

[@EthanWhite89]

Missing Q El Camino

[@cjones582191]

What ammo are you using sub or super

[@JPE_DRAEB]

I like to a comparison with Tactical Solutions Axiom..

[@ryadnort]

This is why I own a Spector II over a sparrow. If I buy another 22 can it will probably be a Mask.

[@cmichael2005]

I have a Sparrow and Spectre II. Thanks for Mike Pappas. I like the Spectre II better than the Sparrow. It build like a tank. I want another .22 Can. Do the Mask HD, have lower tone than the Spectre II ?

[@DeadAirSilencers]

+cmichael2005 We don't measure tone on our Mask, but it is comparable to the Spectre II. You may be able to hear the slight difference if you play the two clips back-to-back using the direct links in the video description.

[@cmichael2005]

+Dead Air Silencers I can a hear the different. It got lower tone then Spectre II. I like to see that can in person, any dealer in Vegas to carry the Mask? I think I will get this Can.

[@mrapple3702]

Interesting.

[@cssorrells]

What's the frp for a aac element 2

[@steel1911]

First great video and metering work Dead Air! I watch this video all the time it never gets old FRP is the real world testing standard one round over/done. I have the Mask, ACC Element II, Spectre II and GM_22 all great suppressors with just small personal like/dislike differences. To my ears the Mask and Element II sound a hair quieter on a pistol than the Spectre II, then last the GM-22 does have FRP on a pistol (few drops of water/wet GM-22 FRP all but goes away). On a rifle they all sound awesome maybe just some slight tone differences, but it would be hard top tell which is which blind folded. To me the construction, ease of cleaning, size & weight, price all play the biggest part and picking one of this group. Personally, the Mask is my overall favorite if I could only have one since it's great DB wise on both rifle & pistol, great construction and I like the 5" length over the longer 6" Spectre II (yes its only a inch, but you notice it in real life on both a rifle and pistol). Pistol, I like the Element II best because of it's lighter weight along with great DB reduction on a pistol. It just seems a perfect fit pistol wise. The GM-22 gets no love on this video, however I have grown to love the GM-22 for serval reasons. First, its stupid lite-weight at just over 2.5oz's and just 5" long. Second the monolithic core is just cool and easy enough to clean/inspect. Its crazy quiet and good tone on a rifle. The GM-22's weakness is the FRP on a pistol, but with a few drops of water or grease the FRP goes away so the GM-22 can still be a great pistol suppressor and is so lite you forget the suppressor is even attached.

[@mknight5159]

Looks like I'm getting a dead air mask

[@billmetal]

Use the same gun.

[@Vultite]

lol Pappas

[@unclejim2330]

You need to fire 5 cold shots each OR at least chronograph each round if you are only firing one shot , this proved nothing since ammo can be all over the place. (Also no Element or TL suppressor in the test! Wtf?

[@MrPir84free]

Do you even have a suppressor ?

[@cjs19kilo]

You are free to conduct your own suppressor test and posting the results on youtube. I look forward to seeing your video.

[@gjoaneye7337]

Should of compared it to cgs group hydra video gets a thumbs down 👎

[@kevbal3137]

when it comes the FRP, you omitted the biggest player in the game, the AAC Element 2, because you "couldnt get your hands on one"...lol... do you really expect anyone to beleive that.. 1: a silencer manufacturer who probably has everything from every competitor for R&D and comparison doesnt have one of its main competitors? 2: that even if the above was the case, that being in the game you dont know anyone else who had one on hand? I lie your products but when you hide this kind of stuff it ruins credibility.

[@akenedy]

Lose the background music please. This is supposed to be a video demonstrating the sound levels of suppressors, not a music video.
