A couple weeks ago, we posted a slow-motion video of the Gemtech Silencer Integra, an integrally suppressed upper in .300 BLK. Some of you asked for a regular-speed video with sound, so here it is! Sounds pretty quiet, doesn't it?

To illustrate the point that you can't always believe what you read on the Internet, the instructors at Tier 1 Group placed a roll of det cord on a steel plate and had one of us shoot it at 100 meters. Yes, it can be set off with a 5.56 NATO round (and watch that plate fly), so our troops on the front line of freedom carry it in a fashion you might not expect to avoid this problem. (Yes, that's our editor in chief's camera at the bottom of the frame on motor drive, sorry...if we gave him 12 cameras he'd use them all, somehow).
We placed the Go Pro pretty close to the fertilizer explosion, and thought we secured it pretty well....obviously we were wrong.
