Our initial 1,000-round endurance test proved that the OG could survive a marathon firing schedule. The next question was obvious:

What happens when you stop worrying about round count and start worrying about rate of fire?

One of the most common concerns we hear is that polymer suppressors can’t handle sustained heat. To put that concern to the test, we set up a firing schedule that far exceeds anything the OG was designed for.

The Test

Using a post-sample firearm equipped with the same 9-inch barrel from our previous testing, we loaded six 25-round magazines for a total of 150 rounds.

The goal was simple:

Dump all 150 rounds as quickly as possible.

The result?

150 rounds fired in just 35 seconds.

To put that in perspective, that’s an average rate of over 250 rounds per minute sustained for the entire firing string.

The Part You Didn’t See

Before filming, we had already run another six magazines through the suppressor while function testing and having a little fun.

That means the suppressor had already seen 150 rounds of full-auto fire before the camera was ever turned on.

The filmed test brought the total to 300 rounds of full-auto fire through the same suppressor during the session.

The Results

 

The suppressor completed the test without structural failure, cracking, separation, or any other signs of damage.

In fact, the most surprising result wasn’t that it survived.

It was how little heat made its way to the exterior.

At the conclusion of the firing string, the suppressor remained cool enough that we were able to grab it firmly with a bare hand and hold it. The end of the video shows exactly that.

While the OG is not rated for full-auto use and we do not recommend this type of firing schedule, the test demonstrates something we’ve observed repeatedly throughout development:

Modern engineering polymers are far more capable than many shooters assume.

What We Learned

This test wasn’t intended to replicate normal use. Very few rimfire suppressors will ever experience 300 rounds of full-auto fire in a single session.

The purpose was to push the platform beyond realistic expectations and see where the limits might be.

This time, we didn’t find them.

The OG continues to demonstrate that affordability and modern manufacturing do not have to come at the expense of durability.

And we’re not done testing yet.
