The Thunder Beast Silencer Summit fires every suppressor entered on the same gun, with the same equipment. AEM5-30 was measured in 3 tests. Figures can only be compared with others from the same test, so each one links to everything else fired on that gun.

Manufacturer claim
- The AEM5-30 features the same mount as the AEM5 but uses the .30 cal baffle stack from the M24 (OPS INC 3rd Model), helping trim length off guns that are already quite long while allowing a brake mount for flexibility in mounting options.
- The 5.56 and .30cal OPS/AE muzzle devices are functionally the same because they share the M22x1 external thread, so any Allen Engineering suppressor can mount on any OPS/AE muzzle device. However the bore size of the muzzle devices does not allow .30cal or 6mm rounds to be fired from a 5.56 brake; you can shoot 5.56 from the .30cal brake.
