BANISH Suppressors introduced its BANISH 556, a design the company claims is the most advanced 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. suppressor on the market. This new hard-use suppressor is tailored for full-automatic and semi-automatic use and includes controlled-flow technology to mitigate back pressure while optimizing sound and flash suppression. 

“Everything we have learned about materials, manufacturing, and the dynamic movement of pressurized gas through suppressors has been leveraged in making the BANISH 556,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “I challenged the design team to create a new 5.56 suppressor that offers best-in-class noise and flash reduction, low back pressure, durability for hard use—including a full-auto rating—and overall dimensions that keep it portable and suitable for use by military and law enforcement professionals, as well as armed citizens. The result is the BANISH 556, and a whole new level of performance from tactical suppressors.” 

The BANISH 556 is made using a combination of metal additive manufacturing, similar to 3D printing, and traditional machining to seamlessly combine a stainless-steel blast chamber with an advanced Inconel suppressor body. The design maximizes the number of baffles, the volume of chambers, and incorporates a helical vent pattern to slow and redirect gas for recoil reduction and back pressure mitigation. The result is a full-auto-rated suppressor with outstanding flash and sound reduction that is exceptionally comfortable to shoot. The BANISH 556 is purpose-built for AR-pattern firearms, and there are no barrel length restrictions.

For barrel attachment, the BANISH 556 uses an industry-standard HUB mount and comes with a 1/2x28 TPI direct-thread adapter. It is available in either black or FDE Cerakote finishes. The BANISH 556 has a retail price of $999 and comes with a lifetime warranty. For more information, visit the BANISH Suppressors website here.
