The Thunder Beast Silencer Summit fires every suppressor entered on the same gun, with the same equipment. AEM5K 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 AEM5K is a blend between the AEM5 and the AEM3: it pairs an A-length mount with the shorter AEM3 baffles, offering a simple swap from a longer A-length can using the same hardware while being only slightly longer than an AEM3. The difference in sound and flash performance from the AEM3 is described as negligible.
