PRESS RELEASE: Stewartstown, Pennsylvania —29 January, 2013 – White Sound Defense has released their FOSSA-556 multifunction muzzle device for retail sale. The FOSSA-556™ is a high performance multifunction muzzle device optimized for the fighting rifle. It suppresses muzzle flash and vents gasses away from the ground to limit dust disturbance. It also eliminates muzzle rise and reduces recoil getting the shooter back on target faster.
This patent pending multifunction device is unique in that it matches or exceeds the flash suppression effectiveness of the best single function flash suppressors while providing additional functionality.
Muzzle climb is countered by redirecting propellant gasses with an upward bias. Recoil is reduced by the exclusive tapered vents that redirect a large percentage of propellant gas to the sides much like a traditional recoil compensator. However, unlike traditional recoil compensators there is no additional concussion or volume.
The FOSSA-556™ has been designed with great care regarding accuracy. It has been engineered and tested to ensure the highest level of performance.
Additionally, this device has been tuned to avoid the annoying ringing sound common with other flash suppressors.
This initial retail release of the FOSSA-556™ is made from 17-4PH stainless steel with a titanium aluminum nitride surface coating. While this might be over-kill for some applications, this finish is extremely durable and provides a low friction surface to minimize adhesion of carbon and copper.
