EchoCore Suppressors Sector 5.56 Full Size Featured in Guns & Ammo Suppressor Magazine

 

EchoCore Suppressors is proud to announce that its Sector 5.56 Full Size suppressor has been prominently featured in the current issue of Guns & Ammo's Suppressor Magazine, now available on newsstands nationwide, with digital publication forthcoming. The in-depth feature article highlights EchoCore's advanced engineering approach and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Sector platform under real-world conditions.

Authored by highly respected industry writer and photographer Mark Fingar, the feature dives deep into EchoCore's proprietary XCR (Cross Chamber Regulation) system and additive manufacturing process, while placing a strong emphasis on live-fire performance across multiple platforms, including bolt-action rifles and short-barreled AR systems.

"First up was the 16-inch AR. Full disclosure: I'm a big fan of quiet suppressors on bolt-action rifles and am rarely impressed with suppressors on a 5.56 gas gun. The Sector 5.56 changed my mind about that. The tone of the Sector is best described as a thump. The sound reminded me of my M203 thunk back in the Army. That being said, it's decidedly the quietest 5.56 suppressor I've ever heard (no pun intended)."

"I ran different rates of fire over the course of 30 minutes through the 16-inch with zero issues. Gas blowback wasn't a problem, and the mirage was no worse than any other uncovered suppressor I've used. Next, I ran the bolt gun through its paces. Once again, it was quieter than anything else I've tested to date. Let's just say I've found my new .223 bolt-action suppressor."

"The 7.5-inch AR is not only brutal on suppressors, but it also usually requires hearing protection no matter what is on there. The Sector quieted things down to where I could shoot a little more than a magazine before opting for ear pro. But it ran fine and, almost as important, looked cool as hell."

"Overall, the inherent sound reduction and deep tone make the Sector the quietest suppressor I've tested to this day. A couple gentlemen at the range concurred, as I continued to test against a couple other suppressors generally considered as the quietest, and they weren't flow-through designs. Sure, there might be a few that come close, but the Sector is the current leader to my ear. Take the Silencer Summit results to the bank."

This third-party validation reinforces EchoCore's performance claims and aligns with the company's results at the 2025 Silencer Summit, where the Sector 5.56 Full Size achieved a category-leading 125.43 dB at the shooter's ear using LEQ dBA measurement standards.

Built from Inconel using advanced DMLS additive manufacturing, the Sector 5.56 Full Size is engineered for extreme durability, minimal backpressure, and a deep, refined tone. Its helicoidal XCR architecture manages gas flow more efficiently than traditional baffle designs, delivering exceptional suppression across a wide range of host platforms, from precision bolt guns to hard-use short-barreled rifles.

EchoCore suppressors, including the Sector 5.56 Full Size, are available exclusively through Silencer Shop and its nationwide dealer network, ensuring a streamlined purchasing experience supported by industry-leading compliance and distribution infrastructure.
