These silencers are built for 5.56 and .223 gas guns, where back pressure and gas to the face matter as much as muzzle sound. The Torch 7.62 uses a pressure-staged Inconel 718 design for small-frame gas guns and covers 5.56, 6 ARC, 7.62x39, and subsonic 300 Blackout, so one silencer can serve several AR uppers. The DUTY 5.56 is our compact, lower-cost option at 5.1" and 11.7 oz. It is a simplified version of our Torch 5.56/6mm, with slightly more back pressure and gas blowback, so tuning the host is recommended. Both are full-auto rated.

FAQ
What thread pitch is an AR-15?
1/2-28 is the AR-15 standard. The DUTY 5.56 ships with a 1/2-28 Ti Direct Thread Adapter. The direct thread Torch 7.62 ships with a 5/8-24 adapter, so for a 1/2-28 barrel add a 1/2-28 Ti Direct Thread Adapter or choose the Torch 7.62 QD kit, which includes a 1/2-28 Eclipse flash hider.
Torch 7.62 or DUTY 5.56?
See Torch 7.62 vs. DUTY 5.56.
Can I use a .30 caliber silencer on 5.56?
Yes. Our .30 caliber Anthem 2 and Mach silencers are rated up to .30 caliber, so 5.56 is within their rating. Note that Mach is full-auto rated with subsonic ammunition only.
