    Im not sure if they have or not. Spikes will call you out for no reason, like they did to PSA in regards to HPT ammo.

    I dont keep up with larue much nor spikes but spikes does more insulting in the new products board i view over there.

    Here is the spikes thing.

    The orange search button is amazing on this website.
    Initially I was looking forward to their cans if for nothing else their price, their DB rates are BS but at $600 they seemed like a decent enough product lol, never did get one though.

    We shot the MRS and LRS on an 8" Compressor side by side with a 14.5" Middy w/M4 2K and a 16" SR15 w/NT4. The MRS was just a hair louder and the LRS was WAY quieter, like no comparison. I've never heard a 5.56 suppressor quieter than the LRS. I was so impressed by the LRS that I sold every other 5.56 and 308 suppressor that I owned.

    Oh yeah and this

    They will do well, we already sold 100's of Compressor's with MRS suppressors. The US Special Forces, ICE, Border Patrol, Secret Service, Australian Military, and about 30 different PD's and SWAT teams are doing or have already done T&E on the ST Compressor. Because of the success of the Compressor we decided to invest BIG $ in the suppressor project. We spared no expense when it came to anything. The sound meter alone was 5k. 2012 should be an interesting year. :-)

    So SOF groups are now rocking this.....from spikes tactical?


    What amazes me is how the members over there are eatig that shit up.

    And this when I asked abou how their so quiet

    I believe the FN M16 A2 barrel has the correct step. A lot of barrels do have the step.

    The design works very well and we are not forcing anyone to buy these. They were designed for use on our Compressor rifle and before you know it the suppressors could only be sold on complete rifles because of the damand of the
    Compressor. Instead of asking why our cans perform so well, you should be asking the other company's why theirs dont. If it
    didn't work we wouldn't sell it. :-)

    I've defended Spike's Tactical in the past, but this is absolutely unacceptable. They're basically stooping to the level of Vulcan Arms.

    Maybe they are using a licensed suppressor design from somebody who once had these groups T&E their product, but I would really like to see some evidence supporting all of these claims. Otherwise, it's bunk.

    Exactly, also remember the compressor is not jus a supressor, its the rifle i posted above, i think its an 8" pistol system

    I agree. I want some proof. That's a big claim unless they just had an ambassador running around to training sessions/classes letting guys try it out.

    I've seen a photo of Travis Haley shooting one but that doesn't mean much. - Although it does support my hypothesis.

    Thanks for bringing up some sources, sinlessorrow.

    Ive also seen spikes talk about how their gas tubes are so amazing they dont melt and can take so much heat the gas block will break before the tube melts. Im looking for it now.

    Eta: i could make a whole spikes thread of quotes that make them look like vulcan arms..... Heres a few

    http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_51/33...BR.html&page=1

    Scroll down till you see pics and bold font.

    My fav part from Tom
    The ST Compressor was designed to with stand sustained full-auto suppressed fire. Many components of the ST Compressor were tested until failure and then re-designed. During one test session we put 2600 rounds through the ST Compressor, all continuous full auto fire. The only thing that didn't survive was the low profile gas block, magpul ladder rail covers and MBUS sight that melted off the weapon. The suppressor was over 1k* the entire time. The Compressor is designed for serious abuse.

    And another pot shot at suppressor companies

    Sure, anyone can build a suppressed AR15 their self, it just won't be the same.

    The rifle and suppressor also won't have a Lifetime Warranty like the Compressor.

    The first challenge of building your own would be to find a suppressor to hold up to the abuse. As a matter of fact, no suppressor company that I know of recommends their suppressors to be used on a barrel shorter than 10".

    Everytime the word Spikes is mentioned on this forum it always ends the same. If you don't like the logo, or the name, or the type of aftershave the CEO uses, don't buy their products. But they must be doing something right to have a 16 week back log. Good or Bad they are selling a ton of rifles. I have Colt's, BCM, Larue and Spikes. I consider all four to be quality rifles and after thousands of rounds out of each of them, none of them have let me down. OH, and the Spikes was the most affordable. Now I will wait for the PM that says I am banned.
