The Radical Defense M249 Para FVS suppressor is a purpose-built, monolithic design for use with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon chambered in 5.56 NATO. Manufactured using 3D printing in Haynes 282, a nickel-based superalloy, the unit is engineered to withstand sustained automatic fire while providing thermal and flash mitigation. The forward-venting Venturi architecture controls cyclic rate and reduces back pressure, with internal Venturi assist ports that help distribute cooling airflow throughout the suppressor. A high-temperature, infrared-retardant coating in flat dark earth (FDE) enhances signature reduction.
