WITH THE NEW Night Fury suppressor, BBG Engineering has taken the success of its current db-series suppressors a step further with increased reductions in noise and recoil.

The reasons shooters and hunters fit suppressors to their rifles differ depending on what the rifles are to be used for. Ben van Dyk, a sport shooter and hunter himself, realised this long ago when he started manufacturing his db-series of suppressors. The essence of the db-series is that shooters can customise their suppressors with the series’ interchangeable parts and work closely with Ben to fine-tune their specific needs.

The main aim of any suppressor for sport and hunting is to muffle the report of the firearm and to significantly reduce recoil to enhance accuracy. A massive reduction in recoil, especially with large magnum calibres, enables a shooter to maintain visibility on the intended point of impact. They are also ideal for professional hunters who hunt dangerous game with magnum rifles as they allow for quick target acquisition on follow-up shots.

The secret of the Night Fury suppressor is in the main tubes. Ben says due to variations in the measurement of sound and recoil, he has decided not to publish the test results yet. “Our product performs exceptionally well. With our in-house testing done to date, we compare exceptionally well against other products.”

The suppressor consists of a main tube and the balance between sound and recoil reduction is achieved by its combination of length and the number of baffles.

Ben says the new tube has no effect on bullet velocity. A reflex attachment, over the barrel, further improves volume and recoil reduction. The suppressor incorporates an internal reflex muzzle brake for recoil reduction. It comes with a large brake front cap, which allows for interchangeability between components. The large external muzzle brake uses the gases exiting the suppressor in a unique way to reduce recoil. A standard front cap can be swopped with the external muzzle brake.
