The Angstadt Arms Prophet is a game-changer in AR-15 suppressor innovation, featuring the patented BarrelThrough technology. This system allows the suppressor to slide entirely over your AR-15 barrel, resulting in zero added length to the firearm. This revolutionary design provides unmatched maneuverability while maintaining exceptional sound suppression. The Prophet includes a 6.5-inch suppressor, fully integrated for compatibility with most standard AR-15 setups. Perfect for shooters seeking enhanced performance and compact configurations. Catch the Prophet in action at SHOT Show 2025.

Cool idea but its not gonna be quiet
I would assume that it would be louder than a regular suppressor but the question is how much quieter?
The other question is how is the velocity affected by it? How does it compare to having a short barrel with a suppressor vs a long barrel without?
Vaporware
Well fuck, this might be my very first can…
Keep OAL down with custom barrel without stamp or sacrificing ballistics? Check
Reduced back pressure so less cancer? Check
Fits all the way up to 46 cal so I can throw this on PCCs? Check
Can does everything I need it to tbh
So what if you did this to a Franklin Armory non-rifled barrel?
Man what a brilliant design, really slick.
Any numbers on velocity differences between a standard 16 inch and the intergrally suppressed barrel? And do you HAVE to use the suppressor in the video? Or will any standard threaded suppressor work – because this with a dedicated 5.56 AB Suppressor could be crazy quiet
I would also love to see this across a wide spectrum of calibers
thats pretty neat. my question is how does the non rifled section of barrel affect accuracy?
Main channel material
hope they stop scrimping on locktite
It’s great to see new solutions to the problem that is the ATF/NFA, and also sad how much “innovation” revolves solely around circumventing these unconstitutional regulations.
The BarrelThrough technology is a brilliant innovation that enhances maneuverability without sacrificing sound suppression.
That's innovation! Super cool concept.
What happened to the hydraulic Glock guide rods?
1) This seems like a slightly better done version of those old retro rifle pin and welds on 11.5" barrels, emphasis on slightly 2) if you're going through all this trouble why not have a changeable end cap? You could have it be 223 diameter (hell maybe even have it interface with end of the barrel) to get better suppression instead of having the worst of both worlds
Good honesty, cool suppressor
Interesting trade-off: 1 stamp and shorter overall solution versus 2 stamps and quieter gun. Hmm…
It’s cool for folks who live in a state where SBRs or AR pistols are prohibited, but I’d gladly just pay for an extra stamp and slap a traditional suppressor on an SBRed lower.
Even though I’m AR tired I like this concept, with Rich talking about sacrifices it would be interesting to know power loss from the ported tube
So, saving $200 on a second tax stamp is cool and all, but this would be seriously cool if you could achieve the muzzle velocity closer to a 16 inch barrel, while still maintaining the short 11.5-esque length, all while maintaining tuned back pressure, close to zero. I think that’s what the common user would love.
People keep positing that .300 Blackout would better for this, but if they could achieve greater than 11.5” velocities, then 5.56mm in this application would be more than warranted! 5.56mm is exponentially more prevalent and it’s notably less expensive than .300 Blackout for the common user.
I do wish they at least had SOMETHING go past the muzzle. I feel like ports alone won't do great for suppression.
I'll bet that handguard gets pretty goddamn hot on the tucked version.
How is flash suppression? That’s more important than chasing decibels with 556.
Very cool, innovative idea!
If i have the suppressor off but i'm running full length hand guards will you make a threaded adapter so the rifle can still be shot without the suppressor on?
WHERES THE FORWARD ASSIST
That suppressor concept is rad. Super interested to see how it works overall with different options like can it take the bigger rifle rounds like the 338 or 8.6 or others just fine too? Also very curious how it sounds or how that barrel plays without the can
People have been doing this in the UK with 'long barreled pistols' as they have to have a 12" barrel so previously they always had a fake silencer. Now you can get them with the barrel ported so it's silencer actually functions.
only 11.5 inches of rifling? pass
Angstadt mdp 9 is garbage, never trusting that company again after a waste of 2600
It’s hard to trust them after their B&T priced jam-0-matic 9mm pcc.
I like the way suppressing is now. No need to over complicate things.
Is the accuracy improved by that extra barrel length?
The last six inches are full of holes. How is that a 16 inch barrel ? It's more like a 13 inch.
That hamdguard is going to get hot
This completely stupid just sbr it or run a brace u basically have a 6 inch muzzle break
Be always wondered why integral suppressors always had short barrels, this concept has been in my head like a “why doesn’t everyone just make holes in the barrel with a suppressor that goes around it?”
I’m sure there’s some already out there but this is not a standard as it should be.. and multi barrel compatibility is awesome
This is pretty huge because of the removable suppressor, usually one stampers have non removable pinned suppressors. This is definitely game changing.
So it's basically a reflex style suppresssor. Cool!
The one stamp is cool, but is that barrel gonna make the velocity of that bullet come out like it would from a 11 inch or a 16inch? Somewhere in between?
As a Floridian, I am DEEPLY appreciative of the visual display. Thank you for thinking of us. Gonna go throw rocks at the iguanas in my palm tree for lunch, bye y'all!
Very similar to the LaRue SUURG concept.
