SUS-TAC – FULL AUTO SUPPRESSOR TEST
Watch How the SUS-TAC Suppressor Stands Up to Extreme Heat and Abuse
Suppressors are often tested under normal semi-auto conditions, but how do they fare under extreme sustained fire? We put the SUS-TAC 3045FAQ AR Suppressor to the ultimate endurance test using a full-auto 7.62×51 NATO machine gun. The results? Nothing short of impressive.
The Test Setup
- Firearm: Full-auto machine gun
- Caliber: 7.62×51 NATO
- Belt Capacity: 125 rounds per belt
- Total Rounds Fired: 240 rounds (two belts of 120 rounds each)
- Suppressor: SUS-TAC 3045FAQ AR Suppressor
Extreme Heat and Durability
With sustained full-auto fire, heat buildup is a major concern. After completing the first belt of 125 rounds, the suppressor began to glow red. By the time we reached 240 rounds, the entire suppressor turned bright orange from the extreme heat.
One particularly fascinating observation was how the internal rings of the suppressor became visible from the outside. This is due to differential heat distribution—where certain areas retained more heat than others. Despite the intense conditions, the SUS-TAC suppressor held up flawlessly and showed no signs of failure.
Performance and Reliability
- No gas problems: The suppressor maintained excellent gas regulation throughout the test.
- No structural failure: Even under extreme heat stress, the suppressor remained intact and functional.
- Gun performance: The machine gun itself performed exceptionally well, demonstrating that neither the suppressor nor the firearm experienced issues from excessive heat or backpressure.
Conclusion: A Suppressor That Can Take the Heat
The SUS-TAC 3045FAQ AR Suppressor proved its durability and reliability under brutal conditions. With 240 rounds of full-auto fire, extreme heat, and continuous operation, it never failed. If you’re looking for a suppressor that can withstand the harshest abuse while maintaining performance, the SUS-TAC is a solid choice.
