The Optimus® 6 is a 6mm bore multi-jet fusion additive manufactured (3D Printed) suppressor optimized for reducing system backpressure over "traditional" suppressors by way of its high-flow baffle design, while maintaining impressive flash and sound reduction. The quad-tine flash hider endcap was painstakingly tuned in conjunction with the low backpressure baffle stack to kill flash at a level almost unseen in other low backpressure suppressors available on the market.
The Optimus® 6 is available in three mounting variants: Taper Mount, DUAL-LOK®, and Utility Mount (HUB 1.375x24 TPI); and user's choice of black or FDE high-temp cerakote finish. This suppressor was optimized for 5.56mm platforms, with the capabilities for high performance on 6mm projectiles.
The Optimus® 6 is made entirely from ultra-strong 17-4 stainless steel. The tube body of the printed core is machined during post-production to create a smooth, beautiful exterior absent of the normal printing layers visible in most other printed cans. The blast shield and mount system is machined in-house from 17-4 SS, then laser-welded to the baffle core allowing for easy warranty of the suppressor in the case of a baffle strike or other catastrophic failure. Optimus® 6 suppressors, like all other Griffin suppressors, are warrantied for life under Griffin's Perpetual™ Lifetime Warranty.
Griffin Armament has been designing and prototyping additive-manufactured suppressors for many years, but felt the technology had not become accessible or affordable enough to bring to market a feature-packed sound suppressor at a value-driven price. Recent advancements in 3D metal printing technology has changed this and in response Griffin went full-tilt into designing it's first line of suppressors manufactured using this technology.
