Dead Air Nomax

As a passionate creator of suppressor videos, I relish the opportunity to showcase the best in hearing protection while revisiting my collection of firearms. Typically, after reviewing a gun, it often gathers dust as I shift focus to the next video. However, the Dead Air Nomax suppressor has reignited my excitement, particularly with its capability to handle various calibers, including the impressive .338 Lapua Magnum (LM).

The Nomax is not just another suppressor; it’s designed specifically for .338LM, making it one of the few cans that can deliver a hearing-safe experience with this powerful caliber. Unlike many "do-it-all" suppressors that struggle with the intense pressure of magnum rounds, the Nomax excels, allowing for comfortable shooting without ear protection, even with a 26” .338LM rifle.

One of the standout features of the Nomax is its HUB compatibility, which allows it to fit on a wide range of firearms, making it a versatile option for shooters. While some suppressors designed for .338LM are limited in compatibility, the Nomax's adaptable thread pattern makes it suitable for various platforms, enhancing its utility for users with different calibers, including 8.6BLK and .338ARC.

Constructed from titanium and utilizing a beefed-up version of Dead Air's patented Nomad baffles, the Nomax measures 9.1 inches in length while remaining lightweight at 12.9 ounces. It also features Dead Air’s interchangeable front end caps for sound and flash suppression tuning. The new Xemax mount enhances its performance, incorporating a reverse thread with a taper for secure attachment, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of high-pressure shooting.

An often-overlooked benefit of using a suppressor, particularly with magnum rifles, is the mitigation of concussive blast and recoil. The Nomax significantly reduces the shock wave felt when firing, making the shooting experience more pleasant. My friend, who had never shot his .338LM without a suppressor, was surprised by the reduced recoil and blast when we tested it.

While the Nomax may not be the quietest option available for specific calibers, its ability to perform exceptionally across a range of them sets it apart. It delivers top-tier sound performance without the limitations of direct-thread designs that can restrict versatility.

In summary, the Dead Air Nomax suppressor is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a high-performing suppressor that excels across various calibers, especially for those who own .338LM rifles. Its combination of versatility, sound performance, and recoil mitigation makes it a standout product in the suppressor market.
