About This Suppressor
The SilencerCo Velos LBP 5.56 is a stainless steel and Inconel rifle suppressor for 5.56 carbines. It has an MSRP of $1,174. SilencerCo builds it as a low-back-pressure design, the LBP in its name.
It mounts on SilencerCo's Charlie ASR quick-detach system. A Charlie ASR mount, a 1/2x28 ASR flash hider, an internal Charlie flash hider front cap, a spanner wrench and a Charlie tool all come with it, so a carbine threaded 1/2x28 needs nothing else. A second ASR muzzle device is the usual extra, which lets the can move between hosts without unscrewing a mount.
If you're cross-shopping, the Dead Air Sierra 5 has an MSRP of $859 and is 1.5 inches across at 13.3 ounces with its Xeno adapter. The Silencer Central Banish HD 556 Inc has an MSRP of $1,129, is Inconel as well, and runs 15.6 ounces at 6.3 inches on a HUB mount instead of a proprietary one. The Velos arrives with more mounting hardware than either, but ties you to SilencerCo's ASR pattern.
Strengths & Limitations
Pros
- Everything needed to mount it on a 1/2x28 carbine is in the box.
- 17-4 stainless steel and Inconel, so the hot end is in a high-temperature alloy.
- An ASR mount comes off by hand once the muzzle device is on.
Cons
- At 15.2 ounces it sits at the heavier end of the 5.56 cans on this list.
- Wider across than every 5.56 can on this list except the Thunder Beast Arms Spiro.
