Normal front cap, 8 inch 5.56 Vented front cap 8 inch 5.56 I think that would be a more happy medium between lowering back pressure and providing a little more suppression. Talking to CGS, there will be many new end caps coming out, and some with less or smaller holes in the end cap. Now, I will say that while the provided vented end cap does an amazing job eliminating backpressure, it does make the can significantly louder. Your rifle should also run a little cleaner with this end cap. This will also give you virtually no gas to the face, potentially making your rifle more pleasant to shoot suppressed. This end cap will essentially give you the benefits of a flow-through suppressor. You’ll also have 2 end caps one that will function as a traditional suppressor, and another vented end cap specifically designed to reduce backpressure in the suppressor and weapon system. The Helios comes with both a direct thread insert in 1/2 x 28 and 5/8 x 24 to work as a direct thread on almost any platform it is rated for. The case is laid out very nicely with foam cut out to hold everything and a few open spaces for future accessories. When you get the Helios QD, you’ll get a very nice SKB hard case that holds the suppressor and several included accessories. ![]() The Helios actually sounded phenomenal across a wide range of calibers, we tested both supersonic and subsonic. We tested it side by side with the SIG SRD 556, by all accounts an excellent 556 suppressor, and everyone present felt that the Helios actually sounded better. Now, you might be thinking, “well doesn’t the Helios make any sound sacrifices because of the larger bore”. It’s an extremely high pressure round, it can be made hearing safe, but really cannot get what I would refer to as “quiet”. I don’t think anyone has ever heard 556 suppressed with any suppressor, and was like “damn that was nice” or “wow that was really quiet”. Helios on the FN SCAR 17Īnother harsh fact about suppressing 556, is that it really just doesn’t suppress well. Basically, if it’s 30-caliber or less you can run it through the Helios. That means you aren’t limited to just 556 out of your 556 suppressors. But, in what I’m going to call a sheer stroke of genius, they bored the can out for 30 caliber projectiles. Because it is built tough enough to handle all the hard use you can throw at it. CGS refers to the Helios as a 556 suppressor. If you have some other calibers though, you’re very restricted and going to need a 30 caliber suppressor for all of your other rifle calibers. If 556 is your jam, then I guess that’s all you really need. You can probably do 224 Valkyrie, but for the most part, 556 is it. One of the major problems with 556 suppressors is, they’re bored out to 556, so basically that’s the only caliber they can do. ![]()
