FNG DAY1 Suppressor Review

A 3D-Printed Titanium Game Changer

The suppressor industry has seen steady evolution over the past decade—but every once in a while, a product arrives that doesn’t just improve on what exists, it changes the direction of the market entirely. The FNG DAY1 Suppressor from our team at Silent Armament Forge is one of those rare disruptors.

Short for “F*ing New Guy: Day 1”**, the FNG DAY1 represents a bold declaration: this is how suppressors should be built going forward. Leveraging advanced 3D-printed titanium construction, a patent-pending dual-wall integrated baffle system, and an ultra-lightweight monolithic design, the DAY1 delivers elite-level suppression, durability, and thermal performance in a package that outclasses traditional welded suppressors.

Our team is going to break it down.

What Is the FNG DAY1 Suppressor?

The FNG DAY1 is a multi-caliber, monolithic titanium suppressor manufactured using cutting-edge additive manufacturing (3D printing). Rather than relying on stacked baffles, welds, or modular internals, the DAY1 is printed as a single continuous structure, eliminating common failure points and unlocking internal geometries that simply aren’t possible with conventional machining.

The result is a suppressor that is:

• Extremely lightweight (just 10.5 oz)

• Exceptionally strong and corrosion resistant

• Thermally efficient with reduced mirage

• Optimized for reduced blowback and minimal POI shift

This is not a “budget can” or your standard entry-level option—it’s a next-generation suppressor designed for shooters who demand maximum performance.

3D-Printed Titanium Construction: Why It Matters

The FNG DAY1 is crafted entirely from 3D-printed aerospace-grade titanium, a material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and heat resistance.

Benefits of 3D-Printed Titanium Suppressors

• Monolithic design: No welds, no seams, no stacked components

• Increased structural integrity under high heat and pressure

• Corrosion resistance for long-term durability

• Superior thermal stability, even during extended firing strings

At only 10.5 ounces, the DAY1 is significantly lighter than most suppressors in its class, making it ideal for SBRs, hunting rifles, and precision builds where balance and handling matter.

Additive manufacturing also allows Silent Armament Forge to create internal designs that maximize suppression and gas control without adding unnecessary weight.

Dual-Wall Integrated Baffle System: A True Innovation

The standout feature of the FNG DAY1 is its patent-pending dual-wall integrated baffle system. Unlike traditional suppressors that rely on stacked or welded baffles, the DAY1’s baffles are built directly into the suppressor body during the printing process.

What This Means for Performance

• Improved heat dispersion, reducing mirage and thermal distortion

• Optimized gas flow, lowering blowback on semi-auto platforms

• Reduced point-of-impact shift, improving repeatability

• Consistent suppression across calibers

This isn’t marketing fluff—it’s a fundamental redesign of how suppressors function internally. Fewer parts mean fewer failure points, and the seamless internal geometry translates directly into more reliable real-world performance.

Multi-Caliber Versatility

The FNG DAY1 is built to handle multiple platforms and calibers, making it an excellent do-it-all suppressor for shooters who don’t want to juggle multiple cans.

Available Bore Sizes

• 0.281” Bore

  • Ideal for 6.5 PRC and smaller calibers

• 0.396” Bore

  • Optimized for .30 caliber

  • Compatible with .350 Legend

  • Even supports 9mm

This versatility allows one suppressor to cover precision rifles, hunting rifles, and even pistol-caliber platforms, saving both money and NFA headaches.

Mounting Compatibility and Thread Pattern

The DAY1 uses the industry-standard 1 3/8" x 24 thread pattern, making it compatible with a wide range of direct-thread and QD mounting systems.

This ensures seamless integration with existing setups and gives shooters flexibility when switching between hosts.

• Supports common hunting calibers like .30 cal and 6.5

Why the FNG DAY1 Is a True Game-Changer

Most suppressors on the market still rely on decades-old design philosophies: stacked baffles, welded seams, and modular internals. The FNG DAY1 discards all of that in favor of modern engineering and additive manufacturing.

What Sets It Apart

• Monolithic construction with zero welds

• Advanced internal geometry impossible to machine traditionally

• Lighter, stronger, and more thermally efficient

• Fewer parts = fewer failure points

• Designed to outperform suppressors twice its weight

This isn’t just another option—it’s a new benchmark for what a suppressor can be.

Final Verdict: Is the FNG DAY1 Worth It?

Absolutely.The FNG DAY1 Suppressor is the result of forward-thinking engineering and real-world shooter input. It delivers elite-level performance in a lightweight, durable, and highly versatile package that simply outclasses traditional suppressors.

Whether you’re a tactical professional, precision shooter, or serious hunter, the DAY1 checks every box—and then rewrites the list.

This is not an incremental improvement. This is the future of suppressor design—starting on Day One.
