Suppressors AEM 5 vs OCM 5

[jzerfoss]

Does anyone here have experience with or have heard AEM 5 and OCM 5 compared side by side? If so which is quieter as the shooter and bystander.

@unclemoak has compared these in the past

The more important question to ask is can I even find an AEM5? I wouldn’t even worry about which is quieter if you can’t even get one of them.

I've seen them pop up multiple times. Also, I've heard someone else has taken over manufacturing to up production.

I've heard the OCM5 is slightly quieter, but don't know that for sure.

Also, @HansohnBrothers has an amazing price on the OCM5, and it's in stock!

I've shot them all.

They are all pretty comparable.

OCM5 is lighter.

The other weekend, I shot my well tuned LMT / AEM5 and it was considerably less gassy against a stock LMT / OCM5 which was surprising. I'm sure the OCM5 setup would edge it out though with a similar AGB / Buffer setup.


I did a video a while back comparing an Ops 12, AEM5, and OCM5
