Dead Air Nomad Overview

Ordered Thanks for the upload

[@GingaNinja451]

How does it compare at the ear to the trash panda and sandman s?

[@Capitolarmory]

That I haven't tested side by side, so unfortunately I don't have a good answer for you.

[@jaydubs6354]

It’s quieter than a sandman s. Trash panda idk

[@danielmottweiler]

Great video..!

[@TheHobbyistChannel]

Hey just bought some stuff from you guys, shipped same day 😃

[@jayr.1523]

I haven't got my DDM4 mk18 r3 yet but if my rail is 9.5" and my barrel is 10.3" and If i put the nomad 30 on it using the direct thread or the dead air kemo flash hdr does anyone know if it would sit flush with the rail or what direction shall i go to get it flush? Any comments would be really helpful and appreciated..I'm doing a ton of research and wanna get the right setup

[@davidleblanc8467]

Did you notice any difference in suppression with the Keymo vs DT mount?

[@Capitolarmory]

I personally do not.

[@chrismckillip3863]

thanks for video

[@jeremywills9303]

Either this or the new Energetic Vox will be the next can purchase but leaning heavily towards the Nomad. I'm already invested in Dead Air mounts since I have a Sandman K so definitely would be going Keymo either way.

[@taylor3880]

Jeremy Wills I have the same debate as well however I think I’m going towards vox. It uses the dead key mo too. It’s similar in weight, sound, and size however the vox is cheaper and is probably the most durable silencer ever created.. easy win in my book

[@ecevora]

I’m torn between the two as well but I think I’m going nomad

[@blancs3030]

I went with the Vox s. It's lighter, shorter, cost less, and stronger than the Nomad and the Sandman S. The Nomad is just 1-2 db quieter than the Vox s without the wipe, but the same with the wipe.

[@juanthelawnmowerthief1641]

Why wrench flats on the inside of the mount? Seems like you would have to cut the can open to get to them.

[@Capitolarmory]

Those would be used if you get the mount stuck on the end of the rifle without the can on there.

[@HawkeyeMO72]

So if I know I want to run the suppressor using the key-mo mount, I’m going to add weight and length. Where does that put the nomad compared to the sandman s? Do I still have gains in dB and back pressure that would outweigh the loss in bombproof durability over the sandman s?

[@keithchavez7190]

HawkeyeMO72 with Key Mo the Nomad ends up being longer and heavier than the S. It is still a few dB quieter. I would like to have one and leave it direct thread for bolt guns. That being said I already have an S and a K for rifles. So I wouldn’t want a longer heavier AR can.

[@HawkeyeMO72]

Keith Chavez Are you happy with your Sandman S?

[@keithchavez7190]

HawkeyeMO72 I love it. But, quieter and lighter is always nice. It is strong as you can get, has a great mount, and suppresses well.

[@HawkeyeMO72]

Keith Chavez thanks for the reply. Mine would be solely for a 14.5” BCM in 5.56. Already have the dead air flash hider pinned and welded. I like the fact that the S is “bullet proof” but wonder if the nomad’s better suppression and less gas blowback would be enough to win me over. I’m not super concerned about the mount flexibility as I don’t intend to run it on anything else.

[@keithchavez7190]

HawkeyeMO72 Mike Papas said in the Jeremy S video on Full30 that the Sandman was lower back pressure. If I were buying right this second and was looking for a first can that was tank strong I would look at the VOX. It will be a little more expensive as you will have to buy the KeyMo for it to work on your gun. However, if you were looking for a super quiet, light weight can that would still stand up to anything you can throw at it I would buy the Nomad. I like the versatility of it and it is said to be about the quietest thing in that form factor. I still love the S though. I don’t want to post it here but I have a place you can get the Nomad for $660 shipped. Don’t know if there is a private message system on here or not.

[@danielflowers1985]

Are the decibel readings taken at the ear or the muzzle?

[@VenturiZhou]

Are the measurements from the shooter's ear or at the muzzle?

[@thegolflife7565]

What has a better tone? This or the Vox-S?

[@fdehands7494]

Nomad or chimera?

[@thegolflife7565]

And the Plan A from Griffin! Is the first (blast) baffle stellite or inconel? Is this quieter than the Trash Panda for 300 blackout subs?

[@Capitolarmory]

Blast baffle is steel, not stellite or inconel. As far as if it's quieter, I haven't tested them back to back so can't say for certain.

[@VRGalaxy_762]

So, for 5.56 which suppresses better, Nomad or Sandman S/L?

[@juanjsolis9284]

I believed he said the sandman line is way better.

[@VRGalaxy_762]

@@juanjsolis9284 He said that the Sandman is made more rock-solid, just like a Surefire is rock-solid...that doesn't mean that it suppresses better.

[@juanjsolis9284]

@@VRGalaxy_762 - 🤔hmm. I'm pretty sure this is why they haven't replied back to you. First you wanted to know which suppressor was better for the 5.56. U got ur answer. Move on bro.

[@VRGalaxy_762]

@@juanjsolis9284 You're clearly not understanding, so I'll spell this out for you.....I'm not asking about build quality and materials, weight, etc. I'm strictly asking DB levels. I never got any answer. They are both 30 cal cans...LOL I'm out.

[@juanjsolis9284]

@@VRGalaxy_762 - Just look up there videos on the Sandman L, S, etc... And then you'll get your DB count. Then maybe you'll have your precious answer, which suppresses better.

[@thegolflife7565]

Will that can fit under most mlok handguards?

[@jasonmyers4685]

The Golf Life under most? No. I’m in the market for a new can for an under rail pistol build and the Nomad was a front runner until I saw the width. It’s one of the widest cans on the market from what I’ve been looking at. The EA VOX is a better option if you want under the rail.

[@Capitolarmory]

@@jasonmyers4685 There's a few that it may fit, but by in large no, it won't fit.

[@johnathankim6721]

So I’m looking to buy this can for my 5.56 AR. I’m assuming I also need to buy a mount (key mo or e brake) AND a 5.56 end cap?

[@Capitolarmory]

You would need some type of mounting system, either a QD setup or a 1/2x28 direct thread. The eBrake and 5.56 end cap are completely optional accessories.

[@johnathankim6721]

Capitol Armory I have Deadair’s Keymount Brake installed. Would that suffice?

[@Capitolarmory]

@@johnathankim6721 You would just need the KeyMo mount (that goes into the can itself) and it will mount to that break without a problem.

[@codebebop]

So basically since all my stuff is semi-auto, this should be perfect, with occasional rapid fire.

[@Stephen-br6il]

The sandman is rated for full auto. Its louder, heavier and built of better materials then the nomad. The nomad is quieter. Even more with the muzzle brake attachment. Its rated for small bursts of semi auto. 6-8 shots per min, if I recall. The nomad is made of stainless steel. The sandman of stelite.

[@SuperMrMojito]

@@Stephen-br6il the nomad 30 is full auto rated

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Switchback is much better

[@DMHal01]

And this is why you don't let millennial hipsters do gun reviews...they can't execute a proper reload, but they have cool tier one beards, hand tattoos, and finger loops in their ears...you know, for those times you wanna pull down just a little harder.

[@Capitolarmory]

Good assumption on the millennial hipster comment, I can't believe how much you know about my life based off a suppressor video. Maybe you should hit up Miss Cleo for a job, everyone is impressed.

[@DMHal01]

Capitol Armory - 2 months later ear-loops replies, good for you clap clap clap. Now go learn how to do a proper reload!

[@Capitolarmory]

@@DMHal01 On a real note though... this is the kind of garbage that's wrong with people. Instead of supporting something you enjoy (I suspect you enjoy shooting or you wouldn't be here) you decide to try to insult people actively supporting the 2nd Ammendment. I spend time to put things out here to educate people on suppressor choices. I spend my free time hunting and shooting, and I spend my work hours helping people with NFA items. I don't care at all what people look like, or if they have life choices I don't agree with. They support the second amendment, and that's what matters. You could be doing something in support of firearms... but instead you want to talk about how some guy looks on youtube and make assumptions. Not only does that attitude hurt the 2nd amendment as a whole, it's a little creepy and sad.

[@DMHal01]

Capitol Armory - Ok I'll walk it back a bit, trolling KZbin is fun, but you are in support of a good cause and I apologize for ribbing you...you don't deserve to be picked on for your appearance, keep up the good work just expect to get trolled when you fumble the gun. Maybe edit out. 😬
