Dead Air Sandman-S Description
The Sandman S 7.62 suppressor, just like other silencers in the venerable Sandman series, is designed for those who demand absolute performance, robust strength and, by extension, enduring durability.
At just 6.8 inches long and 17.7 ounces, this AR 15 suppressor can be said to be compact and lightweight compared to other rifle suppressor brands on the market, but its relatively portable build does not detract from its power in any way.
The Dead Air Sandman S is full auto-rated, meaning of course that it can, without breaking a sweat, absorb the heat your firearm produces when on full auto mode and during high volume shooting. This ability to handle intense action is one of the reasons it is used and trusted by military as well as law enforcement throughout the United States especially.
The high efficiency, strength and durability of this battle-tested Sandman S suppressor lies in its construction from the toughest silencer materials available. To begin with, the body or tube is made using stainless steel which has been heat-treated to create a surface layer that is harder, free from manufacturing stresses, and more wear or abrasion resistant.
Cobalt 6 was chosen for the baffles because the Sandman S is a professional-grade, hard-use suppressor, and there simply is no baffle material more fit for such a heavy-duty silencer. The group of five Cobalt 6 baffles are precision-welded into a solid core, and this makes the “can” even more fit to take on the toughest challenges and deliver a long service life.
An excellent choice for 7.62 suppressor aficionados, the Dead Air Sandman S also offers versatility as it is rated up to .300 RUM; this makes it possible for you to shoot other popular calibers, including 5.56, 300 BLK, and 6.5 Creedmoor, through various firearm platforms such as AR-15, AK, and bolt action, and all without barrel length restrictions.
So how does it attach to firearms? One of the most loved features of the Sandman S AR 15 suppressor is its KeyMo QD system which is nothing but design perfection, and one of the reasons why some regard the can as the best 30 caliber suppressor. This system offers one-hand installation or removal in mere seconds, with zero wobble, seizing, or negative effect on performance. Just easy on, easy off, with minimal point of impact shift and no loss of precision whatsoever.
The KeyMo Dead Air Sandman S mounting system made its debut on the Sandman Series, and has since been recognized as the best suppressor attachment system in the industry and on the market for the hassle-free, secure fit it provides every single time.
Bear in mind that the built-in KeyMo adapter works with any of Dead Air’s KeyMo muzzle devices, even the KeyMicro series; and the Sandman S suppressor ships with a 5/8-24 KeyMo muzzle brake included.
Rounding out this AR15 silencer package is the detachable R-Series .30 caliber front cap that provides user options and a level of insurance should the suppressor get dropped or abused. As its easily removable, this Sandman S front cap lends itself to trouble-free replacement in the field.
You can change your front cap aperture to suit your caliber; add a flash hider front cap to achieve ultimate flash signature reduction; or install an E-Brake to make your rifle shoot flatter.

Sandman S Additional Information
Construction Materials
Cobalt 6 (or cobalt #6) is one of the most popular cobalt alloys because it offers an ideal balance between impact, heat, corrosion and metal-to-metal abrasion resistance. Its unmatched resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation at extreme temperatures makes this Sandman S suppressor baffles material perfect for use in the production of industrial equipment, such as high pressure-high temperature valves, hot oil pump parts, chainsaw bars, etc.
17-4 PH stainless steel, on the other hand, is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel typically used when high strength and at least a modest level of corrosion resistance are the major requirements.
Compared to some other types of stainless steel, this Dead Air Sandman S welded core material, on the whole, offers superior fatigue strength, toughness and wear resistance.

Other Sandman Series Silencers
Also available in Dead Air’s Sandman lineup are the Sandman L, Sandman K and Sandman-Ti.
![Dead Air Sandman L](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sandman-l-1024x239.jpg)
The big brother to the Sandman S suppressor, the 8.9 inches long, 21.8 ounces Sandman L is the longest and heaviest in the series, and offers absolute sound performance.
![Dead Air Sandman K](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sandman-k.jpg)
At 5.4 inches length and 12.8 ounces of weight, the Sandman K is the most compact and lightest in the series, adding only 2.9 inches to your muzzle. Unlike the L, the K isn’t designed to deliver supreme silence, but rather for better mobility in harsh environments.
![Dead Air Sandman Ti](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sandman-ti-1024x212.jpg)
Featuring a titanium instead of a stainless steel tube, this Sandman silencer is 1.4 inches longer, and 0.9 oz. lighter than the Sandman S. It also offers direct thread (5/8×24) attachment instead of the KeyMo system.
Dead Air Sandman S Accessories
The following accessories are frequently bought together with the Dead Air Sandman-S AR 15 suppressor:

![Dead Air Sandman Muzzle Brake](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/e-muzzle-brake-300x300.jpg)
By default, Sandman suppressors like the S reduce felt recoil at your shoulder, but this E-Brake helps to tame recoil even further by acting as a brake at the end of your silencer. It’s available in two widths: This 1.5″ diameter model is a perfect width for the Sandman Series and Wolverine; while the 1.735″ diameter variant fits flush with the Nomad Series.
Dead Air Armament Sandman 7.62mm Flash Hider Front Cap

![Dead Air Sandman 24-27 Caliber Front Cap](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/24-27-cal-front-cap-300x244.jpg)
Changing the front cap diameter of your Dead Air Sandman S is a great way to optimize the 30 caliber suppressor when shooting smaller calibers through it. In other words, matching the front cap of your can to the smaller caliber you are shooting significantly helps with first round pop and lowers muzzle reading by a few decibels.
Dead Air Armament Sandman 5.56mm Front Cap
![Dead Air Sandman 5.56 Front Cap](https://armsintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/556-front-cap-300x244.jpg)
Just like the one above, this 5.56 front cap greatly reduces first round pop, and decreases the muzzle reading by roughly 1 to 3 dB.
