Ask any hunter or long-range shooter that uses a suppressor or silencer on their rifle, what their biggest enemy is while shooting, and the answer is undoubtedly always the same - heat waves. Because hot gases are trapped longer in the silencer, they get hot very quickly and the heat is radiated more visibly.

These heat waves can become so severe that it prevents the shooter from being able to see his target properly. It causes a mirage on the silencer that can make your target appear to be ‘swimming’ in this heatwave. The result is that you shoot at a fictitious target image, which is not physically where the aim indicates when the shot is fired. This phenomenon is especially visible when telescopes are used at high magnifications and the shooter must then take countermeasures to do his shot placement correctly.

Where silencers use an extremely efficient internal design to provide maximum possible sound and reflex reduction, it also tends to heat up rapidly. One of the best measures to address this problem is to install a very good heat insulator or apply a suppressor wrap to your rifle. Suppressor wraps ...
... are extremely effective in eliminating these heatwaves.

A suppressor wrap does keep the mirage in check, but because the heat cannot escape properly, the silencer gets very hot, and therefore you must choose a product of extremely high quality so that it can handle this heat and not result in any burn injuries to the hand. Often recommended by long-range shooters and hunters, is the Kryptek Assault BMOD which is a basic mirage obstructive device that mitigates mirage while shooting.

The Kryptek Assault BMOD is rated to up to 400 degrees and has been specially designed with a shock cord system that ensures the wrap remains tightly in place while shooting. There are, however, other brands to consider, or depending on your requirements, you can have a suppressor wrap custom-made and tailored to your needs.

The value of this product should never be underestimated, and besides eliminating mirage, a suppressor wrap also protects your hands and your suppressor from being damaged or scratched. While there are many different types that you can consider, you should also make sure the product will last and that it is fashioned from durable and heat-resistant material.

Some products are mass-produced and are usually also much cheaper than branded products, but the difference is in the quality of the material. Before setting off to buy a suppressor wrap, it is a good idea to do some research on the manufacturer and the supplier first, so that you can be assured of the quality and durability of the product.

A suppressor wrap consists mainly of two parts, namely the inner core and the outer casing. While both are important, you should pay special attention to the inner core and make sure that it is fireproof so that it can absorb the heat to eliminate mirages better, but also to prevent burns on your hand.

Another important aspect to consider is weight. To maintain a good balance, it is essential not to overload your long-range rifle with unnecessary accessories or add extra weight that may impair your accuracy. A well-designed, high-quality suppressor wrap is lightweight and should not interfere with your shooting at all.

If the manufacturer or supplier has a website, it should provide complete product specifications to the consumer, which in turn can enable you to determine if it is a good product or not. It will also help you immensely to read online reviews and determine what others think of the product or the manufacturer.

Online shopping differs from that in a physical store where you can consider a suppressor wrap by looking at it, feeling it, and examining the material, so make sure you gather complete information about the product before you buy it online. Unfortunately, the market is also flooded with cheap imitations, which will affect your accuracy if it starts to tear apart after just a few shots.
