I have 5.56 11.5" Triarc suppressor-only upper that currently has a Surefire brake and 556 RC2 suppressor, and I am pondering switching to a Xeno mounted Nomad-30 when it gets approved.
While I try to deconstruct Pew Science's very good test results, can anyone opine about the suppressors' relative back pressure? I shoot long guns lefty, and so am trying to minimize gas that escapes the ejection port. Baffle design, suppressor diameter/ volume, and .22 vs .30 cal exit holes...
This isn't a sustained high rate of fire upper, and for the purposes of this post, reducing port-gas is more important than sound suppression, flash, etc.
Triarc notes that low-flow suppressors (like OSS's design) don't provide enough pressure to cycle the bolt.
