Performance:

One of the standout features of the Dead Air Nomad 30 is its impressive noise reduction capabilities.  The suppressor effectively reduces both the sound signature and recoil, contributing to a more enjoyable and controlled shooting experience. It excels in providing a quiet and comfortable shooting environment without sacrificing performance. With a larger bore throughout, we would expect this suppressor to perform better with the larger caliber rifles.  This test was conducted on the AR-10 with 20" barrel, and Direct Thread mount.  These are Semi-Automatic test results.
