SSS.6.193 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/TSWIF and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The CAT TSWIF is a high performance low back pressure micro silencer intended to be used with pinned-and-welded blast diverter muzzle devices on 5.56 AR-15 weapon systems. Adding only 2.6 inches to the system length, the TSWIF provides consistent signature reduction expediently and in a compact package. The CAT TSWIF system is available in thread patterns compatible with blast diverters from Apparition Instruments, Noveske Rifleworks, and others. When compared to other compact silencers fielded on the typical 14.5-in M4 rifle, the CAT TSWIF provides competitive performance and allows blast diverter users to maintain BATFE non-SBR compliance as required.

In this review, the CAT TSWIF performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a commonly fielded gas-operated rifle outfitted with a blast diverter, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the CAT TSWIF perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel and pinned-and-welded blast diverter or flash suppressor?

SSS.6.191 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/RAT and the Sig MCX 300 BLK Short Barrel Semiautomatic Rifle (Free Version)

The Combat Applications Technology CAT/RAT is a multi-unit modular silencer system intended to suppress 300 BLK personal defense weapons (PDWs). Its advanced hybrid technology, fully adaptable performance, and specialized design for the SIG SAUER MCX family of systems, makes it one of the most unique examples of high performance suppressed small arm system optimization evaluated by the PEW Science Laboratory, to date. The end user may choose to field the CAT RAT in covert operations, high volume fire training scenarios, or close quarter vehicle environments and not sacrifice weapon system reliability. The CAT RAT is capable of suppressing both subsonic and supersonic 300 BLK from the complete range of MCX and Rattler system barrel lengths, as well as from other 300 BLK systems.

In this review, the CAT RAT system performance metrics depend upon suppressing a subsonic intermediate rifle cartridge on a short barrel gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the three CAT RAT configurations perform on your 6.75-in 300 BLK SIG SAUER MCX or Rattler AR-18 system?

SSS.6.162 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/SC/B1 and the HK P30L (Free Version)

The CAT/SC/B1 (CAT SC) is a lightweight, highly advanced, and modular centerfire pistol silencer that exhibits extreme sound signature suppression performance for both operators and bystanders. The silencer’s combined performance, flow rate, and modularity, represent the most significant advancement in centerfire 9mm pistol suppression in recent history. The CAT SB-SHOCK technology, adapting characteristics from both SURGE BYPASS and DiVerge, results in maximizing performance in relatively small design envelopes; a significant benefit in suppressed handgun applications.

In this review, the CAT SC performance metrics depend upon suppressing a full-size handgun firing a full-power subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge. How would the CAT SC silencer perform on your self-defense handgun, in both long and short configurations?

SSS.6.148 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/MOB/A1 and the Heckler and Koch SP5 9x19mm Subgun (Free Version)

The CAT/MOB/A1 (CAT MOB) is a lightweight and highly advanced 36 caliber submachine gun silencer that exhibits extreme sound signature suppression performance. For its size and weight envelope, the MOB’s performance is even more significant. Notably, the CAT DiVerge technology in the MOB silencer appears to regulate the varied low pressure conditions throughout each stage of the silencer, reducing backpressure while simultaneously achieving maximum signature suppression. The CAT MOB exhibits the most advanced submachine gun suppression performance evaluated by the PEW Science laboratory, to date.

In this review, the CAT MOB performance metrics depend upon suppressing a subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge on a roller-delayed blowback submachine gun. How would the CAT MOB perform on your 9mm pistol caliber carbine (PCC)?
