Including Ambient Intake™ Technology
The EXO 5.56 is the first suppressor of its kind to utilize our proprietary Ambient Intake™ System. Unlike flow-through suppressors, this all-new category of suppressor technology features intake channels that harness ambient air to drastically reduce post-shooting temperatures, decimate the report of your rifle at the muzzle by ~35dB’s, and materially mitigate unwanted blowback.

The Nitty-Gritty
Everything you need to know about how our Ambient Intake™ System is quietly rewriting the rules of suppression.
AMBIENT INTAKE™ SYSTEM
Ambient Arms’ patent-pending Ambient Intake™ System features intake ports that pair with strategic low‑pressure zones to draw cool air directly into the suppressor. This intake mixes ambient air with hot muzzle gases to reduce operating temperatures by up to 75%, decimate the report of your rifle by ~35dB’s at the muzzle, and mitigate unwanted blowback. Ambient suppressors also feature a radically new shock wave management system that delivers best-in-class bullet release dynamics and impact precision – resulting in tighter, more repeatable shot groupings under real‑world conditions.
75% cooler
operating temperatures
When tested against the best performing flow-through suppressors, our Ambient Intake™ Technology outperformed in temperature regulation by up to 75%. The coldest running suppressor ever created.
Up to 15dB’s quieter
than flow-through suppressors
Compromising on quiet shouldn’t be an option when it comes to shot suppression. Our Ambient Intake™ Technology doesn’t put quiet on the back burner.
Significantly limits
flash signature
Remaining undetected with a suppressed firearm shouldn’t be negotiable. By mixing cool, ambient air into the device, we’ve driven flash signature, in all light spectrums, down to industry leading levels. Our non-Titanium devices will provide unmatched, low-light signature performance.
Radically new shock wave
management system
Our integral ported barrel matched with a purposefully designed muzzle face delivers best-in-class bullet release dynamics and impact precision – resulting in tighter, more repeatable shot groupings under in real‑world conditions.

Classified Beginnings
Before Ambient suppressors became available to the public, each design underwent extreme testing and adoption by third-party SOF operators along with renowned industry labs and experts. While full disclosure is not yet possible, Ambient Arms is bringing increased lethality where it matters most—and trust, we will never test on the customer.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
Designed with our proprietary Ambient Intake™ System, the EXO Series creates low-pressure zones throughout the device, deliberately drawing in cooler air through engineered intake ports. This innovative airflow design mixes ambient air with hot muzzle gases, rapidly reducing operating temperatures. As a result, the EXO series boasts the broadest use case, safest, and one of the most rugged, full auto-rated suppressors on the market.
Here, EXO users are given use-case advantages never thought possible—from thermal signature after shot, to safety advantages for ourselves, buddies, patients, dogs, and equipment; this new category of suppression is unmatched.
SOUND SUPPRESSION
The EXO Series sets a new standard in noise reduction, cutting sound levels up to 15dB’s below the most popular flow-through suppressors. Its advanced low-pressure, Ambient Intake™ System targets sound at first principles, while the exiting gasses and supersonic pressure waves are deliberately managed for controlled release, gradual equalization, and mitigated rearward propagation. This materially extends suppression without added length—allowing ambient air and external geometries to continue to suppress. The result is unmatched actual and perceived quietness at both the muzzle and shooter’s ear—delivering a smoother, more comfortable shooting experience.
ACCURACY & PRECISION
The EXO embodies the greatest leap for precision shooting technology. Proven through our proprietary Schlieren testing lasers and cameras, the EXO series harnesses the cleanest bullet release of any suppressor. This, in part, due to the EXO’s integral ported barrel, which provides the supersonic pressure wave a clean, symmetric reflection surface free from distant geometries and uneven air pressures. The EXO avoids the micro-turbulences typically induced on the projectile by suppressors and avoids the violent launch caused by negative geometries as the bullet exits the suppressor body.
