The suppressor must have a quick attach/detach function (without tools) versus a screw on or threaded attachment method 3. The suppressor must decrease the initial firing report a minimum of 30-db 4. Service life in excess of 15,000 rounds 5. Weight of suppressor should be less than 30oz. Should be as light as possible to minimize shot placement changing due to weight of suppressor. 6. Minimal impact shift with suppressor mounted and without suppressor mounted. Consistent point-of-aim point-of-impact shift with suppressor on and suppressor off. 7. Must not interfere with the operation of a Colt M203 Grenade Launcher attached to a M-4 (loading, aiming, firing, and unloading). 8.
