K Can Showdown - 11 Mini Suppressors Put Through Head-To-Head Testing

[@bobs3597]

Most KZbinrs don’t do comparison videos because what they are actually doing is 3rd party advertising disguised as a “review”. I appreciate your honesty. Don’t ever change that.

[@SilencerSyndicate]

That’s how we feel and much of the reason we started the channel. Thank you for the support and we’ll keep cranking out the unbiased info 🍻

[@quiettime6871]

People new to the can market simply cannot understand how just beneficial this type of content is. For years and year there was next to no head-to-head testing on this scale. Subjective as it may be, in the past you only had single can videos or at best 3 or 4 compared. And nobody used to talk about gas to the face. Even weight is a consideration that only has been talked about over the past few years

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Thanks, we appreciate the feedback and support! We’re here to help the community learn and hopefully prevent some costly mistakes.

[@Ertactical]

thank you, I agree and i think its cuz people want to sell you something. they look for a way to make one can shine. We have nothing to sell, well hats and shirts =) we just want good info to be out in the wild. I am hungry to test and learn and while i am at it we decided to share our findings. thank you for supporting us. your comments and shares truly help!

[@torokllts]

@@quiettime6871 Might also be the wait times would make those videos prohibitively time consuming. No one wanted to wait years to make a single video. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. That might be changing with recent wait times being only days and suppressors solling out everywhere.

[@Ertactical]

nice! freedom!!!! thanks for supporting us =)

[@robertloszewski1347]

Thank you so much for his video. The information you’ve compiled from this test is invaluable. I’ve been looking for a K can for a 10.3 and 11.5 and I’ve been leaning toward the Velos. Suggestion: although sound suppression is important, I think flash suppression is equally as important when evaluating all of the pros and cons of a can. For me, flash suppression is very important. It would be awesome if you ran a flash suppression test on these cans at night. I realize it would be more work, but it would be one of, if not the most comprehensive k can review out there. Keep up the great work!

[@SilencerSyndicate]

I think this is the video you’re looking for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqaYc4NueMpgjrM

great point! we did a flash test but we are due for another. the 556 VELOs did really well on that test but we have not done the K

[@BrixTactical]

Griffin Recce 5k is damn good. Amazing price, short can, amazing flash suppression most importantly

[@owenyacko3490]

@@Ertacticalhave you shot the velos K at night yet?

[@archipelago93]

Possibly your best “overall” comparison so far, specifically for the smaller cans. I just picked up the Griffin Taper Mount Explorr 300 not because it was the best at any one factor, but specifically because it was such a good balance of everything/Jack of all trades-good sound and flash signature reduction, shorter length, definitely thinner diameter and light weight (two of my knocks against the Velos), and the price reasonable. Not the best back pressure reduction vs the Velos K and Huxwrx, but still reduced compared to most due to the Eco-baffles. Overall, I’m happy-and thankfully we have all these options to decide what’s best for our individual preferences!

Thank you! Got lots more ground to cover. Pistol cans are on the list. Thank you for your support.

[@fullm3taljacket]

Pistol cans (on pistols) universally suck. On other hosts, can be quite decent.

[@MaxUmi]

@@fullm3taljacket universally seems like a bit of a stretch, there's QD systems out there like the griffin ones, a lot of 9mm pistols run subs great (sound wise.) whereas a lot of rifles run super sonic. The main con(s) to me is running a direct thread, or needing to run boosters on Browning tilting barrels...most of my guns run them fine, but I know some guns can be a bit finicky like Glocks with a suppressor. 22 pistols with subs are an absolute blast and serve to have some actual stealthy utilities or just plain fun. I get it, pistol cans are niche to an extent. But they have their purposes. Silencers are already a niche in the gun world, let me enjoy some pistol cans lol.

[@Ertactical]

the PTR is a great can but $$$$ the VELOS can def do well on that 14.5. if you want weight than Id go with the B&T SRBS 556 TI and you can do full size or K...

I got a YHM Fat Cat for 16" AR Dissipator build, and so far I love it. The increased backpressure tends to work with the undergased dissipator, not against it, and I love the deep tone from it as opposed to the high crack of other cans. I will admit, I wasn't aware of the Velos, so thank you for that. It's high on my list for a next can.

[@Ertactical]

yea, a gas issue can be fixed with a can for sure. thanks for watching

[@elijahhirst9955]

I’m new to the channel , but it would be cool to see these tests done with either an adjustable gas block, or adjustable downward venting bcg like the bootleg. That way you can isolate if the sound is coming from the port pop or the can itself

[@JohnZ556]

I remember reading about Velos's structure makes its performance heavily temperature-sensitive. It also has a very noticeable FRP, testing data showed that even a full-sized Velos will start to perform like FRP in the 5th round on MK18. So, in an array of fire, it actually performs more like an HXQD556 than a CAT. Now, I'm more interested in seeing your review on CAT WB since data shows it beats even the full-size Velos LBP 5.56, by a noticeable margin. If and when you do so, please do 10-15rds side by side between those two.

[@Ertactical]

interesting, we have not found that at all. there is a FRP on most of these cans. some is minimal tho. we want CATS. we have reached out cat and are needing your support on this. please email them, request a can be tested on this channel. your vote matters and its a team sport.

It’s interesting how you seemed to think the velos K was quieter than the hux when “other data sources” show the 556k as performing better at the shooter’s ear then the full size 556 velos which sielncerco themselves say is a much quieter can than the k version. My experience with the hux is that in an open area it sounds great to the shooter but being that you’re shooting with a roof overhead I’m guessing you’re getting some “ bounce back” which I also observed shooting indoors with the hux. Curious if results would change in an open area.. another awesome video!

[@Ertactical]

thanks, we have tested in a few environments with the same cans on the same days and have found the HUX SUX for sound but kills it for BP. on this day it was 112 out side so we stayed in the shade. you are right tho, all of em would sound better in the sun. also there is some other data like the thunder beast sound sum that put TONs of cans head to head with all the same gear over a 3 day span with all the right guys working the testing equip so you will find better data there about how the HUX measures up. then keep in mind that volume and not tone. that plays a huge roll.

Great info, thanks for making the spreadsheets on the site public! Any plans for a 22lr or pc test set?

[@Ertactical]

we already filmed the 22lr test, will post in the next few days , i think . thank you for supporting, the comments and shares really go a long way!

[@3231bsln]

15:51 the answer is yes. They are pretty similar from what I've seen on forums.

[@Ertactical]

I was surprised to see one of the more ubiquitous k cans (YHM Turbo K...any generation) not on this list. I know they're getting older, but so many got into the wild based on price alone that I think perhaps it should have been present, even though it isn't as cheap as it used to be. Anyway, I very much appreciate the testing Rob.

[@Ertactical]

agreed, id like to have one. Ill ask em. they sent me 3 cans and that Turbo K was not one of em. thank you for supporting, the comments and shares really go a long way!

[@siruname6122]

Which is the quietest if you were to tune the gas? A high back pressure i would guess

[@Ertactical]

there are low BP cans that are quiet, but the most quiet will be the Nomad L and PTR. the PTR is a low BP can

[@midwestoutdoorsman]

What about the b&t srbs compact k can vs the velos k? I'm looking for something super light but strong to put on a 13.9 but short.

[@darthrevan1156]

Love a nice set of cans

[@Ertactical]

haha I see what you did there

[@armorers_wrench]

So, its hard to capture the noise of a suppressed gun shot but I swear it seemed like the shot where you pulled your ear pro off on the YHM fat cat was the loudest shot. I dunno, it was probably about the same as the others but it really seemed louder to me on the video.

[@Ertactical]

yeah the cam just doesn't do well for that test. behind the gun you can tell but 5 ft from the gun you really can tell. this is why i live hearing what my cam guy has to say

[@47SRT]

Have an old surefire mini. I agree with not quiet and high back pressure. It's actually better on a longer barrel. It is more pleasant on an 18" and 20" . I remember when I bought it, they had a micro. It marketed for 18" and longer barrels.

[@bg9501]

I like your take on this

I’ve heard the griffin m4sd-k is a great sounding k can that sounds full size. It’s a larger k can, but still smaller than a full can.

[@Ertactical]

same, I want one also they look cool!

[@cornbreadbrown4961]

would like to hear how the SiCo Scythe Ti stacks up against these.. i believe it's in the same size realm (i could be wrong) and weight of a K can.. and .30 cal.. so possibly less BP on 5.56? if one is available during the next showdown.. loving the channel, bud

[@Ertactical]

thanks for supporting us! the Scyth is def a full size can.. but a great can!

[@coachdavis6531]

Thank you love this silencer information and testing!!!

[@JAM4MORE]

K / mini cans are not my thing but very good info none the less. I think you like the Velos 😊
