- The CT5P builds on lessons learned from the Dead Air Lazarus 6 and Sandman X series of suppressors, advancing their performance in a new platform.
- The CT5P reduces toxicity exposure for the operator compared to traditional suppressors.
- The CT5P builds on lessons learned from the Dead Air Lazarus 6 and Sandman X series of suppressors, advancing their design to a new level.
- The CT5P features a patent-pending Compact Triskelion® baffle design combined with a Gas Management System® to substantially reduce backpressure and operator toxicity (fume) exposure.
- By removing the HUB feature found on predecessor models, the CT5P achieves a shorter, lighter profile with minimal Point of Impact shift.
- The CT5P's functional aesthetics create more surface area on the outside of the silencer, releasing more heat and minimizing light reflectivity.
- The CT5P is manufactured using innovative additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology, enabling a compact and lightweight design without compromise.

- The CT5P is manufactured using additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology, enabling its compact and lightweight design without structural compromise.
- The CT5P builds on lessons learned from the Lazarus 6 and Sandman X series of suppressors.
- The CT5P reduces toxicity exposure for the operator compared to traditional suppressors.
- Gas-regulated and low-backpressure: the patent-pending Compact Triskelion baffle design and Gas Management System substantially reduce backpressure and toxicity (fume) exposure for the operator.
- Reduces muzzle flash and spark to near undetectable levels for 5.56 NATO rifles with barrel lengths as short as 10.5 inches.
- Engineered to achieve a low overall sound pressure level well below the OSHA 1910.95 standard for impulse noise.
- Materials: Haynes® 282®.
- Finish: Black or Flat Dark Earth high temp Cerakote®.
- The CT5P is engineered for longevity under full auto fire and is built for duty use.

Unattributed
- Reduces muzzle flash and spark to a near undetectable level for 5.56 NATO-chambered rifles, preserving the operator's night vision.
- Engineered to achieve a low overall sound pressure level and tone that is well below OSHA's 1910.95 standard for impulse noise without substantially increasing gas in the face.
- Ultralight and compact suppressor that takes lessons learned from the Lazarus 6 and Sandman X series of suppressors to a new level.
- By removing the HUB feature in the rear of the suppressor and using additive manufacturing, the CT5P achieves a shorter and lighter profile.

- Optimized to flawlessly operate with minimal change in bolt velocity on direct impingement and piston gas systems in both 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC.
- The Triskelion baffle design increases surface area in the main channel to slow gas down while the Gas Management System (GMS) allows high pressure gas to vent around the main channel, forward of the muzzle, to substantially reduce backpressure and gas in the operator's face.
- Functional aesthetics allow for more surface area on the outside of the suppressor, releasing more heat over time and minimizing visual light reflectivity.
- Compact and lightweight design keeps stress off the arms and shoulders during extended low-ready positions.
- Uses fixed adapters in the rear of the suppressor (HUB feature removed).
- Manufactured using additive manufacturing (3D printing) techniques.
- Constructed to withstand abuse and full-auto fire.
- Tested to the SOCOM SURG standard.
