![]() ![]() On a manual action firearm, however, the solid end cap is almost certainly going to provide more sound suppression everywhere. In fact, allowing more pressure venting at the muzzle of a suppressed, semi-automatic firearm will often decrease the volume level experienced at the shooter’s ears, even though it will increase the volume level at the muzzle of the gun. This sort of lower backpressure, “flow-through” suppressor style may be preferable on a semi-automatic firearm where gas and noise out the ejection port is every bit as much of a concern as it is from the muzzle. This front cap seals off the coaxial, outer flow path gases.Ī vented front end cap will be available soon and, as you’ve guessed, it will vent those outer flow gases right out the front of the suppressor. for TTAGīoth of the new Hyperions ship with a low-profile front end cap. Installed on the Hyperion Thread Adapter there’s about 7 rotations of the suppressor before it’s tight. This is enough to use (especially for a limited firing schedule, such as when hunting), but it isn’t ideal. You’ll get about 3 and 3/4 rotations worth of thread engagement before it’s tight. Now all this said, you can run the Hyperion FS or Hyperion K on a square-shouldered barrel. 30 cal suppressor on a 5.56 or other, smaller-than-.30-caliber firearm with 1/2×28 threads. That said, the 1/2×28-threaded adapter is a great way to run a. Obviously the absolute best case scenario here is using the CGS Hyperion on a tapered shoulder barrel and forgoing the extra component and its extra length. The taper is better at providing a full gas seal and preventing the suppressor from coming loose, I’m just not sure it’s 0.8 inches better, ya know? Every millimeter is necessary to make this adapter function, but I’m not so enamored by a tapered muzzle that I’d necessarily choose the extra length over a suppressor designed for a standard barrel with square shoulder. If I have any complaint about these CGS suppressors, it’s the additional 0.8 inches of length that’s brought to the table by the thread adapters. It’s the same size as the wrench flats on the base of the Hyperion and Hyperion K. Near the base of the thread adapter is a neat looking wrench flat feature that will accept a deep socket, box wrench, adjustable wrench, or possibly even 12-point wrench. Not that Hyperion owners are likely to ever shoot unsuppressed. In fact, given their diminutive size they work better as stand-alone muzzle compensators than you’d probably expect. The thread adapters also include a small compensator that diffuses gases even more rapidly upon entering the Hyperion. Available in both 5/8×24 and 1/2×38, the thread adapters effectively convert your square-shouldered muzzle into a taper-shouldered muzzle, throwing the required 5/8×24 threads out in front of the taper. On most barrels with a standard, square shoulder, you will likely want to run CGS’ new Hyperion Thread Adapter. That taper will provide a fantastic, full gas seal along with massively increased mating surface area, which does wonders to help prevent the suppressor from coming loose during use. If you’re installing a Hyperion on your SIG SAUER ( creators of the 25-degree tapered shoulder) or a firearm that borrowed the SIG taper design, go ahead and thread the suppressor directly onto the barrel. for TTAGīoth of the new Hyperions employ a 25-degree taper section before the mounting threads. Left raw, the layer-by-layer process is visible if you look closely enough e specially on angled surfaces (see below). for TTAGīelieve it or not, what you end up with is a truly monolithic end product that actually has a more consistent, finer metal grain structure with fewer (like, zero) metallurgic imperfections than you find inside a forged or cast product, or a product that’s machined from a billet / forging or casting. Unsintered Ti dust can be blown out as needed during the build process in order to prevent it from becoming trapped inside internal structures. Then another layer of dust, another pass of the laser, and repeat until your end product is built one teeny micro-fraction-of-an-inch layer at a time. The “3D printing” process involves depositing a fine layer of Ti dust then using a powerful laser to sinter, or melt/fuse/weld, this new layer to the previous layer in only the precisely desired places. 30 caliber Hyperions is made entirely of DMLS titanium. Upgraded and quieter than ever, the new CGS Hyperion and Hyperion K have just hit the market, and we went hands-on. Now, with the advent of metal 3D printing (called DMLS, or direct metal laser sintering), CGS has been untethered to create internal geometries that are impossible to machine. 30 cal sound suppression prowess for years thanks to its unique, patented internal structure. The CGS Group Hyperion has lead the industry in. ![]()
