Smith & Wesson is changing the way we suppress the AR-15

Gemtech is introducing two brand new suppressors to their lineup; the 5.56 optimized Abyss, and the .30 caliber Neutron. These cans utilize the new ETM quick attach mounting interface, while remaining compatible with many other mounts using industry standard hub threads. Smith & Wesson is also introducing a new upper receiver group with a newly designed suppressor optimized gas system. The S&W and Gemtech “G-Vac” system works like a bore evacuator to reduce the overgassing effect of a suppressor, without affecting reliability when shot unsuppressed.

Back in December, Luke and Hop took a trip to Florida to try out the new Gemtech cans and the new S&W uppers, and while we were there we got to have a conversation about the finer technical details with Anthony from Gemtech. Silencer nerds rejoice, there’s a lot of good info in here!

  1. great content as always Hop: I would like to check out that new gas system but preferably not without the rest of the S&W upper parts just the gas block seems to be pretty interesting
