Below is the press release from Radical Defense on the new GPS.
Press Release
The GPS suppressor is the newest development with our beltfed machine gun line. This suppressor isn’t a direct replacement for any previous machine gun suppressors released by RD, as each of those were developed for specific mission requirements. Our current line of suppressors are extremely robust made for the most treacherous firing schedules such as being mounted to a CROWS system or weapons that don’t have the liberty of an assaulters quick change out to another barrel.
The GPS has a multitude of new developments, based on lessons learned, from making beltfed suppressors for the last three years. With that being said, the General Purpose Suppressor uses our Breathable Technology to allow the suppressor and weapon system to work together, while significantly reducing the negative effects of back pressure.
7.62 -8.6 caliber, 3D printed, mounted via a taper lock flash hider, and requiring zero modification to the host weapon. Full Auto Rated, Forward Venting Breathable Technology for pressure stabilization, decreased felt blowback and back pressure to the host weapon—proprietary I/R non-reflective coating.
