SilencerCo Velos LBP - Overview

[@jasonmorris159]

This video has been instrumental in saving my sanity waiting on mine to get approved. Infringements are gay

[@GigaChode]

Amen

[@Fadaar]

ordered one from SilencerShop back in April and it's finally going to ship, yay another +1 to the form 4 jail family. i'm up to 4 now.

[@casualobserver3145]

Lol

[@GigaChode]

I just backordered the velos last week from silencershop. I'm dreading the potential wait time. They dont know when the next sico restock is

[@Fadaar]

@@GigaChode dude it's an awesome can, well worth the wait

[@DBravo29er]

For a flow-through, this has the stoutest baffle-stack of any can...by far. Incolnel 925 is far tougher than any non-cobalt steel alloy (like stellite/cobalt-6). Big fan of the Huxworx, but this is an objectively *tougher* can than the Huxworx Flow....and not by a small margin. We're talking max temp ranges that are hundreds of degrees higher for the SiCo, and likely max internal pressures that are far greater as well.

[@fixedG]

It's really neat to me to see silencer design improve in new, specific ways. For a long time, sound level, weight/length/handiness and the general trade-off between the two were big variables you were either chasing or sacrificing. And a whole crop of other products came into being to mitigate the sacrifices you had to make but that didn't stop the silencer designers. They added modularity so the end user could make that general trade off when you wanted to. They chased a lower, deeper, more pleasing tone. They'd been chasing the issue of increasing cyclic rate and excess gas blowback to the shooter when suddenly the government is concerned about toxicity to shooters in the Next Gen Squad Weapon program. Lo and behold, the concerns align and the silencer designers once again demonstrate that the equation isn't as simple as it was once thought to be to be and they can do better with smarter design, better materials, better coatings, etc. And that's to say nothing of how direct thread used to be the only game in town and the idea of having a can that was easy to clean was a pipe dream. Just fantastic. I wonder things might look in ten more years with improvements I can't even think of.

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

I cerakote full time professionally and have H, E, C, P, & V series coatings and will say this. If you are looking for true durability for a weapon you are planning on using frequently, then you will want to stick with H or E series coatings that require a catalyst along with oven curing. V-Series requires an oven cure but no catalyst

[@egeneraltnf]

Would it be easy to cerokote this suppressor H or E?

[@tylerting]

I followed you completely, even though these are complex topics. Silencerco wins again

[@greatlakespowerstrokefx4]

They should do a 7.62 version. Very impressive.

[@controlledchaos8851]

Absolutely, I have been in the “ suppressor” market for almost a yr now . Being I’m not an impulse shopper I’ve looked at slot of cans . This will definitely be my buy if and when it comes out . Would be even cooler in a Long configuration. For magnum 30cals

[@TechZACH16]

I have good news for you. And bad news. Good news first: they did. Bad news: they're backordered.

[@greatlakespowerstrokefx4]

@@TechZACH16 sweet ill have to look into it. Im always behind on suppressor scuttlebutt

[@goblue64TRD]

i fired one of these at TRIGGRCON on a MK18 on full auto, not only was there no gas to the face but it was super quiet. so quiet it might even be better than my omega300 my 16" AR.

[@REMYSCH]

Great video

[@randomkai1870]

How does it compare to the Huxwrx 556k?

[@TwoMilky]

That's the question I've been asking. My next can is one of these two.

[@AaaaandYerDhem]

​@@TwoMilkyditto. They only downfall of the Huxwrx is it only has a 10k round life. What's the life on this one because that will determine my choice

[@senorFrog2032]

​@@AaaaandYerDhem depends on the barrel length. It'll last more than 10k. Whoever said that number is very wrong

[@erice4611]

The Velos is way better then the Huxwrx cans especially in longevity! And they cost less and are stronger and are versatile in the mounts. ECCO Machine makes the adapters.

[@senorFrog2032]

@@AaaaandYerDhem looked more into and you're correct, I've heard it only if you don't clean it. But still that kinda sad

[@tcr2237]

All my SiCo cans are missing paint… burnt right off first range day.

[@travisduncan4496]

Another great review!! Thanks!

[@rhodie33]

Very interesting.

[@stevis182]

It would be useful to put the weight and length WITH the mount. Nobody shoots the can without a ASR mount. Per silencerco it’s 18.74oz and 6.75” long with ASR mount.

[@illestdomer2005]

I will changing mine to Atlas, but I hear you.

[@heyhayhay247]

I'm confused by the lack of recommendation for the industry standard Rocksett

[@sphill_edc]

I was wondering the same thing

[@Kycirion]

God forbid my can get scratches on it. 😆

[@casualobserver3145]

Lol

[@balthezor]

Great video sir. Any thoughts on Velos 556K and Flow 556K? Equal in gas blow back?

[@joelwolfe]

Please try a hand load with 52gr and N130 I think you will find a nice sound reduction

[@illestdomer2005]

Great point re: SA/SF weapon hosts vs bolt-action. This is what I hope Jay tackles at Pew Science: I am not super interested in the 300blk sub numbers on a bolt-action. Standardize to whatever you want to use, but we need SA readings. I have a HX-QD 762 in jail, and while it may not be the quietest, I love how I am not eating gas with every round.

[@duskcayote]

Now that I know it takes dead air keymo charlie mounts im going to pick up 2 or 3 of them

[@kevinespinoza2022]

Will the ASR mount fit onto the SOLGW “NOX”? or will i need a Keymo adapter to slap on the velos?

[@martialartsgunsandfitness7672]

How is the flash suppression at night

[@casualobserver3145]

Good question. The end cap appears to be shaped to accomplish a low signature. Except for the SiCo webpage, I seen any independent online tests.

[@xzavierthompson2898]

How does the Db rating affect shorter barrel like 12.5 ar15? Would you still say it’s balanced?

[@CupofTea3]

All i care about is rounds rating. Gotta beat the 10k rating on the flow can by a lot.

[@controlledchaos8851]

How about a 762 Longer can for magnum 30 cals . I would have no problem with one the size of the Nomad L with the Ebrake

[@DavidA20200]

Wait, you don’t recommend using Rocksett?? What do you recommend?

[@Capitolarmory]

Proper torque. Rocksett is at best useless, and at worst a dangerous crutch for improper installation.

[@DBravo29er]

I'm in the Rocksett camp, but only after correct thread prep/cleaning, and only *with* correct torque, using a Precision Armament Accu-Washer. Most users skip steps or glob-on the Rocksett. You literally only need a single drop hanging from a toothpick....That's it. Like CA said above, most users are just lazy and use too much Rocksett along with some BS gud-n-tite caveman tightening procedure....and then complain about their can backing off.

[@TheUnholyLordClownz]

You don't recommend Rocset? Why not?

[@nicklastname9495]

Any word on a Velos 762 video?

[@woahdude3853]

Rockset is easy to remove with just water

[@Rocksteady713]

Can’t decide between this or the griffin hrt

[@NYa-mo7se]

Griffin dual lok 5 is lighter and quieter with a better finish.

[@jbpew]

Can you use xeno? Isn’t xeno only bravo?

[@TuckerFredrickson]

Would you recommend this for a 7.5" barreled AR?

[@rayhernandez2547]

fired one this weekend on my 7.5 Pistol AR, no ejection problems or over gassing. didn't effect impact

[@reedvenard691]

Does it take industry standard hub adapters?

[@jasonmorris159]

No, that is the silencerco bravo. This uses their Charlie system.

[@Bigbuck198]

Rather get a high-pressure can with an adjustable gas block imho

[@ele4853]

Is there one for the Ruger SFAR?

[@BCM16AR]

Why don't you use Rocksett?

[@jeremyfigueroa1683]

You said you don't recommend rockset, why not?

[@ARes13FOX]

Do you use rocksett on the lug nuts of your cars tires? That should answer your question. If properly torqued to specs, it’s not necessary.

[@jeremyfigueroa1683]

@ARes13FOX only if I'm not gonna be taking them off constantly. Like the suppressor I'm gonna keep nd marry it to the gun like a direct thread. I won't be taking them on nd off.

[@BCM16AR]

@@ARes13FOX That's a stupid analogy.

[@ARes13FOX]

@@BCM16AR only to a dumb dumb like you. Torque settings are torque settings for a reason whether it be a lug nut or whatever. If you want to put rockset, go ahead. No one is telling you not to. But if you ask me, I would be more worried about my tire flying of my truck driving 90MPH on a Texas highway, than my flash hider coming loose on any of my rifles.

[@alexglenn2122]

That multi colored AR is overgassed as shit

[@Capitolarmory]

Not at all actually--- that rifle is about as good as it gets for a factory upper.

[@AaaaandYerDhem]

What's the round life on this can?

[@stevis182]

More than you can afford

[@DBravo29er]

If you can clean the lead accumulation out after 50k rds, maybe triple that?

[@matthewgiangarra3535]

Until a can is real world hearing safe, NO reason to buy a suppressor for 5.56. MUCH cheaper to just wear hearing protection then a can and tax stamp. You still have to wear ear pro so the can is irrelevant. What possible use is a can for 5.56? Muzzle devices mitigate flash and backpressure without the need for a suppressor. If your using a SUPRESSOR your should be shooting subsonic ammo. If your rounds don't come in subsonic, there is no need for a suppressor. Switch to 300 blackout and a 30cal can.

[@jollygamer321]

Shooting indoors 556 and 762 sucks, especially on smaller ranges. Over ears don't even have enough db reduction to prevent hearing damage long term with those calibers, I have to double up plugs with over ears. Shooting suppressed results in a muuuch more enjoyable shooting experience from both a sound, concussive, and recoil perspective even if it's not hearing safe.

[@jimo680]

@@jollygamer321 Spot on. I was shopping 300 blackout; but, gave up. You're just into an entirely higher level of pricing, gear, and ammo. COVID proved it's best not to have uniquie ammo and platforms. I'm 56 and just want to enjoy my range time; AND, still have hearing when I'm 70. Matt must not do too much shooting.

[@davidsobrito1398]

Why don’t you guys like rocksett? It keeps your muzzle device on there and it’s water soluble. if you ever need to swap muzzles, just leave the front end of your rifle in a pan of water for 24 hours.

[@Captainpaulbtyhtr]

Boil muzzle for a few minutes , then dip in ice water , use wrench , presto !

[@SlimJim-hr7he]

When there is no context there is no telling how the suppressor works if at all. How about talk, say something, clap, fart, sobering so we can compare that to the noise coming from the gun. Understand we aren’t there! So this video was basically pointless!

[@GringoBandito11]

I have this exact silencer. I went and shot it for the first time today about 120 rounds through it. And then when I got home to take it off, it will not budge. Should I have taken it off while it was still kinda hot? anybody’s gotten any information. Let me know please.

[@rayhernandez2547]

don't over tighten it when you first put on, I've seen other videos of this issue, I have this suppressor, just snug it down and lock it, had no issues taking it off

[@GringoBandito11]

@@rayhernandez2547 yeah I ended up doing a little bit of research about it. It said something about the coupler ring needs to be tightened so I took it out. Put a few rounds through it got it real nice and hot tightened the coupler ring and then I was able to get it off but yes, you’re right. There’s no need to tighten that thing down. I just snug it up and lock it.

[@BigBoyElectricToys]

How does this compare to the Ventum?
