In this exclusive video, we are giving you a never-before-seen look inside the largest suppressor testing event in the industry, the Thunder Beast Arms Co Silencer Summit!
This event has been going on since 2023 with one explicit goal: to offer free, standardized testing on the same hosts, with the same ammo, in the same environment, to the silencer industry in a completely open and transparent way, to provide honest information to all silencer buyers.
TBAC was kind enough to let us capture some interviews at the event to show the public what takes place each year in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Special thanks to Zak, Shane, Ray, Kurtis, Sam, Sutherland, April, and everyone else involved with the Silencer Summit for helping to make this video possible. We would also like to thank all of the other manufacturers who were willing to speak on camera. We tried to interview everyone we could but had limited time, so if your favorite brand isn't represented in this video it was merely bad luck and not an intentional omission.
Finally, we would like to thank TBAC for their commitment to the industry by putting on this event. They don't charge any of the companies a dime and use their own firearms, ammo, facilities, and take over a week out of the office to make this event happen when they could be doing other things. It is absolutely a labor of love for the industry, and we feel the public should be aware of this incredible service.
The final results for 2026, as well as the consolidated results are live now on the Thunder Beast Arms Co website: thunderbeastarms.com/sound/summit2026
