If you are talking about the suppersors on the SEALs HK_416?
Yes they are AAC

That's what I thought when I watched it.

Seals don't actually use AAC cans, do they?

In the book no easy day you could see the authors AAC M4-2000 in the pictures.

Is this really an M4-2000 on the 416?

Why wouldn't they?  They are great cans.  There are alot of peckerheads on this site that love to rip on stuff for dumb reasons.  Someday they will be replaced by something better.  Doesn't change the fact that they are still a pretty damn good can.

Don't get me wrong, I love my AAC cans.  I just thought they used KAC or Surefire.

I've seen pictures of real Navy Seal 416's and they have the aac-m4 2000...

The AAC-M4 2000 also has an NSN on the housing as well.

Testes have shown that the AAC M4-2000 is quieter. Although I think the Surefire 212 has a less POI shift.

Major Malfunction, one of the biggest silencer distributers in the country agrees the AAC M4-2000 is a better can.

Google up Silencertalk forums AAC M4-2000 vs Surefire 212 thread. Or watch AAC's channel of Mike Mers and Rachael showing how the welds inside hold up after a silencer torture test of the M4-2000,

Both great cans nontheless. Along with KAC NT4. I find the KAC NT4 can to have some play on the mount and is pretty heavy compared to the SF and AAC cans.

The silencers used in ZERODARKTHIRTY is indeed the AAC M4-2000

They could also have used the AAC 416-SD, a variant of the M4-2000 they made several years ago.

Possible but the film makers were debriefed on the mission and they probably would use the same equipment. Not to mention looking over the film, I did not see the 416-SD. They have a slightly different look.

we have some M4A1s in our armory along with the KAC NT4 that came with them, i think its a bad mount since the can can rotate and move some.  the SF or AAC cans lock up tight to the barrel, actually the M-110 KAC suppressors have some wiggle in them as well, now i am not an engeneer or have major experience in suppressor design but i would think that means more POI shift.  

i just know i have a Fisher Ent (Smith Ent) 30cal can that mounts in a similar way to the KAC and it's not accurate at all, well i haven't messed with it much but i am not at all impressed.

From the picture above, it appears the HK MP7 has a Surefire suppressor and the HK 416 has a AAC M4-2000 judging by the mounting area.

what type of mount do they run for the AAC cans?

Well, you'd ave to assume that they'd want to be as stealthy as possible, which probably means they'd run a 51t blackout so if for some crazy reason they had to take the can off, the muzzle flash would be minimal

Good pics. I've been told that they're the only ones in SOCOM that are issued AAC. Everyone else has KAC, SF, and OPS.
