Fun stuff but annoying: thanks to the design of M-16, the gas system funnels ammonia gas straight into the shooter’s face thanks to the back pressure from the suppressor. Dang thing asphyxiates the firer, which makes aiming a problem.

Sad...$20,000.00 IF YOU WANT to own one as a civilian. 900 if you sell to a government entity (cop).

A few options are available to manage gas blowback with a suppressor:

Adjustable gas blocks:



The W.A.R. upper by Innovative Arms which has a suppressor setting:


And the PRI Gas Buster charging handle.


Each of these individually can significantly reduce gas blowback into the shooter's face when using a suppressor. Combine either of the first two with the charging handle and you should be able to lower blowback to unsuppressed levels.
