The Thunder Beast Silencer Summit fires every suppressor entered on the same gun, on the same day, with the same equipment. AEM3 was measured in 1 test. Figures can only be compared with others from the same test, so each one links to everything else fired on that gun.

Manufacturer claim
- The AEM3 (OPS INC 15th Model) is favored by shooters around the world for its balance of compact size and sound suppression, and is traditionally used on shorter military and SWAT rifles. It can be mounted on barrels as short as 11.5″ with a front sight base.
