When mission success and operator comfort are both on the line, choosing a suppressor that stands up to full-auto stress and long-term hard use matters. A purpose-built can must balance durability, repeatable point-of-impact behavior, and a sound signature that protects hearing while remaining pleasant at the shooter’s ear.

Dead Air Sandman X Xeno — designed for hard use and extreme conditions — is built to operate on semi-automatic and fully automatic 7.62 NATO rifles while retaining multi-caliber performance. Shop this product

Design and durability

The Dead Air Sandman X Xeno is a hard-use silencer engineered to handle rapid-fire heating cycles and sustained full-auto operation. Materials and internal architecture are optimized to withstand thermal stress and erosive gasses typical of 7.62 NATO use. That combination of rugged construction and thoughtful tuning is why many operators prefer a purpose-built rifle suppressor for duty-class platforms. Priced at $949, the Sandman X Xeno aims to deliver long-term value for serious users.

Performance on 7.62 NATO

Optimized for 7.62 NATO, the Sandman X Xeno focuses on best-in-class sound reduction at the muzzle while delivering a satisfying, lower-frequency tone at the shooter’s ear. That balance reduces short- and long-term hearing fatigue without creating an unpleasant “tinny” report. Its multi-caliber behavior keeps POI shift manageable across common rifle chambers, making it a versatile choice when you may switch ammunition or host platforms.
