I just shot SPR with my first ever suppressor. The ejection pattern went from a roughly 2ish to exactly 3 0’clock. Surefire SOCOM Mini 2, VLTOR A5 with A5H2 buffer, 18” Douglas MK12 barrel with rifle gas.

Oddly enough it shoots very smooth yet still ejects to 2:00-2:30.

I have never seen a gun run very smooth and have an awesome recoil impulse and lob the brass the direction the way this gun does so. Just interesting and thought I'd share and see if anyone else has experienced a similar set up.
