INTRODUCTION
Do you want to enhance your gameplay with top-notch, quality and fully licensed gear? Look no further than the PTS Griffin Resistance 22 (R22) Modular Suppressor. This lightweight and durable suppressor packs a punch, making it the perfect upgrade for your BB Blaster. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this suppressor a must-have!
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The R22 isn’t your average airsoft “suppressor”. Crafted from high-quality CNC-machined 6061 aluminum alloy, it boasts a sleek appearance and incredible resilience. Its modular design offers two mounting options: a 14mm CCW “Direct Thread” mount suitable for 9mm pistols and SMGs, and the PTS Griffin “Taper Mount” Adapter that fits all 14mm CCW barrel-threaded rifles. Please note that you need to choose the package of your preferred style but don’t worry, all necessary adapters come included in each package for hassle-free installation!
PERFORMANCE & USER EXPERIENCE
When it comes to performance, the PTS Griffin R22 doesn’t disappoint. The direct thread mount works seamlessly on your blaster, using either one of the two included threaded adapters—M14 and M18 CCW—making it compatible with most models out there.
If you decide to use the Taper Mount Adapter Version, it fits all 14mm CCW barrel-threaded rifles plus, it doubles as a blast shield when the R22 mock suppressor isn’t attached.
The adapter set includes a PTS Griffin Stealth Flash Suppressor and the PTS Griffin Taper Mount Minimalist Blast Shield of course.
For players who enjoy tracer BBs, the tracer version features a rechargeable drop-in tracer module that operates with both red and green tracer BBs. Pretty awesome, right? The tracer module itself is easy installed. Just remove the backplate and drop it in.
