Love this thing even though it’s a heavy mf (10lbs without a mag). Shoots like a gassy 22.

This is my first AR and can, so take my impressions with a grain of salt.
The biggest thing that stood out was just how soft and flat it felt. The RSO said the recoil impulse felt almost airsoft-like when he tried it out. As a newer shooter, I found it really easy to stay on target and keep groups relatively tight with this setup.
I originally went with the Zion because of the mid-length gas system and its reputation for reliability. For the suppressor, my plan was to buy a Polo K, but Dirty Bird had the Fireteam for $740 shipped and my impulse control failed. No regrets so far, although I’ll admit I’m still a little jealous whenever I see Infinity 556Ks and Rhodies around.
I’ve doom-scrolled every Fireteam review/post. Based on my limited experience, I think TacShep’s assessment was pretty spot on. It’s a moderate backpressure can with amazing sound suppression. It’s not a magic can that’s Hollywood quiet with hux flow back pressure.
Gas that comes back seems to slowly drift out of the ejection port. It’s noticeable, but never annoying or tear-jerking. Although I was at Range USA so there was no mag dumping obviously.
Again, I don’t have any experience with other suppressed 5.56 ARs, so I don’t really have a frame of reference for comparison. These are just the impressions of a new shooter who finally got his first can out to the range.
Very new to this and ready for advice or pats on the back.

Range toy/home defense. Waiting on a Fireteam 556 to be mounted with rearden plan B and will tune with an armaspec SRS H2 and Superlative Arms AGB.
Looking for an audiologist to get some custom ear plugs made. Or should I just use one of the commercial kits from some other company?
