1. General rules
READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
1.1 Safety rules
1. Consider every weapon loaded until checked personally by the individual operator.
2. User installation or removal of the suppressor must be accomplished in accordance with the instruc-
tions contained in this operator manual.
3. Serious injury to the user may result from an improperly installed suppressor.
4. Always wear eye and ear protection when firing.
5. Check the suppressor for tightness before each use.
6. Don’t touch the suppressor after firing - Suppressors quickly become very hot.
1.2 Impact of the firing position
The additional weight of the suppressor at the muzzle and the different gas conditions directly after the
muzzle can change the ballistics of the gun and the point of impact. It is therefore important that the point
of impact is always checked with the suppressor and the ammunition before a mission and adjusted if
necessary.
WARNUNG!
Suppressed firearms make less noise than non-suppressed firearms, it’s easy to forget
that they are still firearms. It’s of vital importance to remember that a sound suppressed firearm
is just as dangerous as a non-suppressed firearm and the same safe handling procedures apply.
Failure to follow the operating instructions can result in serious injury to the user and damage to
the firearm. Suppressors are devices that are attached to the muzzle, the muzzle flash hider or
a compensator.
A requirement for safe operation is the mounting of the suppressor as described in this opera-
ting manual.
Under normal conditions any suppressor will become very hot. This is especially true when fi-
red in full automatic mode. For your safety it is important to allow the suppressor to cool down
before touching it in any way, this includes removing the suppressor from the weapon. It is also
important not to let the suppressor touch any material or equipment while hot, such as nylon
webbing or ammunition pouches.
