The Dead Air Defense CT5P Patrol Suppressor in 1/2-28 direct thread is a compact, lightweight rifle silencer engineered for semi-automatic duty rifles in 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC. Built on lessons from Dead Air's proven Lazarus and Sandman platforms, the CT5P strips away unnecessary bulk to deliver a shorter, lighter package without the point-of-impact shift issues that plague larger suppressors. This is a purpose-built can for shooters who need effective sound reduction without sacrificing handling or ergonomics on the gun.
What sets the CT5P apart is its innovative Compact Triskelion baffle design paired with a Gas Management System that substantially reduces backpressure—critical for reliability across direct impingement and piston-driven systems. That means less carrier tilt, less wear on your rifle, and less toxic fume exposure to you. The baffle geometry also minimizes muzzle flash to near-undetectable levels even on short 10.5-inch barrels, while the exterior surface area design releases heat efficiently and cuts light reflectivity. Sound levels sit well below OSHA standards for impulse noise, protecting hearing in confined spaces where officers and civilians operate.
Constructed from Haynes 282 superalloy with high-temp Cerakote finish (available in black or Flat Dark Earth), the CT5P weighs just 13.7 ounces in direct-thread form and is rated for full-auto fire. Dead Air tested it against the rigorous SOCOM SURG standard, so it's proven for duty use and longevity. No barrel length restrictions means you can run it on everything from carbines to rifles. This is suppressor design for the working gun.
| Caliber Rating | 5.56 NATO, 6mm ARC |
| Energy Rating | 2200+ ft/lbs |
| Bore Diameter | 6mm |
| Mount Type | 1/2-28 Direct Thread |
| Length | 5.49 inches |
| Diameter | 1.6 inches |
| Weight | 13.7 oz |
| Material | Haynes 282 |
| Finish Options | Black or Flat Dark Earth high-temp Cerakote |
| Full-Auto Rated | Yes (5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC) |
| Minimum Barrel Length | No restrictions |
The CT5P uses a 1/2-28 direct-thread connection, which is standard on most modern 5.56 NATO rifles and AR-pattern guns. Verify your barrel's thread pitch before ordering; if your rifle uses a different pitch (like 5/8-24), you'll need a different mount variant or adapter.
Yes. The CT5P's Gas Management System is specifically optimized for both direct impingement and piston-driven systems, with minimal change to bolt velocity on either platform. This makes it exceptionally versatile for duty rifles running different operating systems.
Yes, the CT5P is full-auto rated for both 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC, and it meets the SOCOM SURG durability standard. It's engineered for sustained fire and longevity in demanding conditions.
There are no barrel length restrictions. The CT5P is optimized to reduce muzzle flash to near-undetectable levels even on barrels as short as 10.5 inches, making it ideal for compact and short-barreled rifles.
