New Surefire Socom 556 RC2 5.56mm Suppressor,
part # SOCOM556-RC2. The new and improved SureFire SOCOM556-RC2
Fast-Attach® suppressor is the most advanced 5.56 mm rifle suppressor
ever made. Compact and lightweight, this suppressor was selected for the
Mk18 and M4 by US Special Operations Command as first among all
competitors in the most extensive and rigorous suppressor evaluation in
history. This test covered all aspects of suppressor performance, and
SureFire beat every other entry. It has also received the USSOCOM
official safety verification in support of fielding. Constructed of
advanced high-temperature alloys and stainless steel, the SOCOM556-RC2
features a more advanced internal venting to reduce back pressure,
reducing the suppressed cyclic rate and gas blowback on the operator.
The new design also includes an integrated blast shield in the back
section that increases durability. The patent-pending front-plate design
along with proprietary improvement in gas flow dynamics nearly
eliminates first-round flash, a true technological breakthrough in this
area. It also attenuates noise and dust signatures to an unprecedented
degree. A new indexing system and computer controlled welding means this
suppressor securely mounts to a SureFire muzzle brake or flash hider
even more solidly than our previous models, and is easier to remove
after extended firing since the index tab is in a low carbon-buildup
area. Like all SureFire Fast-Attach models the SOCOM556-RC2 produces
minimal, consistent shift in point of impact compared with the
unsuppressed weapon.
