Dead Air Silencers is an American manufacturing company best known for their silencers.
History
[edit]Dead Air Silencers was founded in 2014 by Mike Pappas and Todd Magee, both formerly of SilencerCo.[2] They manufacture products for military, police, and civilian sales.[3] Some of their silencers are intended for hunting use.[4]
In the beginning they focused on the multicaliber silencer market producing silencers designed to be used with a number of different calibers. This due to the requirements of US commercial customers who must procure a different Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tax stamp for each silencer they own.[5] Their first silencer was the Sandman series.[3]
In 2018 Dead Air introduced Key-Mo, an adaptor which allows the use of Silencerco silencers with Dead Air muzzle devices.[6]
