BETTER THEN YOU THOUGHT

This was a rifle silencer, but not one with a fully (or even partially) welded core. Still, it was advertised as a “full-auto-rated” silencer. Usually, in this sort of statement lies a marketing cue: Making a silencer that is “rifle rated” or “full-auto” rated speaks to one key trait — how the manufacturer handles a warranty claim when you inevitably break it. With 5.56 silencers, lightweight ones in particular, one should mainly be concerned about when they break as opposed to how they break.
