World Class Suppressor Technology 

AWC has provided suppressed weapons systems to the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps.  We have supplied suppressed weapons systems to major Law Enforcement Agencies, Wildlife Agencies and such diverse groups as the U.S. Department of Interior, the Department of Energy, Federal and State correctional facilities, the R.C.M.P., and Special Forces units throughout Europe, Central America, Asia and the Middle East. It would be safe to say, that over the 28 years of supplying suppressors to a remarkably broad spectrum of shooters we have literally seen it all. At AWC Systems Technology, we pioneered much of the most important development work in both symmetric and asymmetric baffling, initial blast containment, wipeless end baffles, gas-jet redirection channeling, heat displacement pathing, advanced material utilization, captured barrel harmonics and on and on. We have probably destroyed more suppressors during our "Fire-to-Failure" testing than many of today's suppressor manufacturers have had a chance to make in total.

The founder of AWC Systems Technology, Lynn McWilliams, embarked on a career in silencer technology due to Tinnitus caused by two extreme tours in Viet Nam in the U.S. Marines. After his service was completed, Lynn wanted to continue to be able to use firearms; however, doctors advised he would lose his hearing if he used weapons.  He purchased one suppressor and was extremely unsatisfied, a second purchase from a different manufacture was equally poor and Lynn set about to design a more efficient and quieter suppressor. Now, almost 30 years later, AWC produces the most advanced suppressors in the world to what we call Silent Superiority.

AWC Systems Technology has never been part of another company, nor was AWC ever spun off from another company.  AWC is, as it always was, one of America’s oldest, most respected purveyors of suppressors and tactical weaponry.  We take great pride in what our work has meant to the sportsman and professionals who use our products day and night. We listen to what our customers  need, and make sure it becomes a reality. Our work in development has never stopped and for good reason - our developmental success is what may have brought you here, it also is why a majority of suppressor shoppers stay and become AWC clients for life. They may be called "cans" but believe us when  we tell you a well made suppressor is anything other than simple to design or easy to make.  The fact of the matter is that far too few individuals truly understand the inner workings of a suppressor, and when it comes to AWC, the more you understand the better we look and sound. We will be here and we are working hard to be sure you will be to.
