The AWC TurboDyne™ is absolutely the most compact, effective and quiet .50 caliber silencer available on the market today. AWC Systems Technology has been producing .50 caliber rifle suppressors since 1984. Early units were built exclusively for State Arms Gun Co. These units were constructed from 4100 series steel. Sizes were in the 3 inch diameter, 20 inch long range prior to the development of the TurboDyne™ in 1992.
Today’s TurboDyne™ suppressor employs a more sophisticated baffle and chamber design that has allowed us to maintain very high performance in a smaller envelope making deployment of a .50 caliber suppressed rifle more practical. The suppressor design manages to delay the hot expanding gas for a period of time causing the sound emitted to be a thump rather than a bang.
The TurboDyne silencer is constructed 100% stainless steel and like many AWC silencers it is 360 degree circumferentially welded. Bullet impact can be heard and is the primary source of sound. The TurboDyne™ also functions as a recoil reducer allowing the user to maintain excellent target contact visibility. Felt recoil can be minimized by firing the .50 caliber rifle in the prone position, using bags or bipod for a rest.
The lack of the concussion allows for comfortable shooting for hours. The TurboDyne can be fitted to most semi-auto and bolt action .50 cal rifles, mounting directly to the current muzzle brake threads without modification to the gun. The suppressor is also available in .416 caliber.
