GENERAL OVERVIEW

The suppression system used in the CGS Hyperion is the first of its type, a new silencer technology that is genuinely

revolutionary. Originally the Hyperion was made as a lightweight precision rifle silencer for left handed shooters using semi

auto host firearms to reduce/eliminate toxic gas in the face. The Hyperion is the quietest rifle silencer the world has ever

seen, a demonstrable fact. CGS Group rifle silencers are the only silencers that can completely change function simply by

swapping out or removing the front cap.

The Hyperion is limited to barrels of 10” or longer for 5.56, with no restrictions of 300 Blackout subsonic as long as your

barrel will properly stabilize the projectile. The larger bore also helps with unstable 5.56mm and similar, limiting the

potential for baffle strikes.

The CGS Hyperion comes with:

1) CGS Hyperion Core

2) Solid Low Profile Front Cap, Hex, Flash Hider, Standard, Ti

1 - The CGS Hyperion’s core is made of Direct Metal Laser Sintered (DMLS - 3D printed) heat treated Grade 5 Titanium. The

core utilizes the same Hyperion Technology that is present in all our rifle silencers. The direct thread mount at the rear uses

the SIG 25 deg taper shoulder, which is compatible with barrels using a 90 degree shoulder if the shoulder is a minimum

diameter of .735”. If your barrel shoulder is not at least .735” OD, we offer muzzle adapters which will convert your 90

degree shoulder into a 25 degree shoulder (see CGS Hyperion Thread Adapter online).

The joint at the front for the front caps has a shallow taper which will maintain concentricity and do a better job at keeping

things from coming loose compared to a traditional 90 deg shoulder, and can still be disassembled with ease using

common tools such as a 7/8 socket and crescent wrench. The Hyperion Tech increases sound performance significantly

especially with supersonic ammo compared to everything else available while also not sacrificing subsonic performance to

achieve supersonic performance. It excels at both without compromise. There is nothing that compares to the suppression

of the Hyperion.

The Hyperion Tech also reduces blowback and toxic gases blown back at the shooter compared to traditional designs,

allows the system overall to be much stronger by immediately venting the blast chamber and reintroducing it later in the

stack thereby reducing pressure and heat and more evenly distributing it to prevent hot spots, and also will eliminate or

will significantly reduce particle erosion compared to any other traditional silencer design currently available leading to a

far longer service life.

The Hyperion core's dual functionality allows the user to change the function of the silencer completely simply by swapping

out the front cap for a different one. Additional end caps beyond what comes with the Hyperion may be purchased

separately, allowing the user to tailor their silencer without buying a complete package of parts they may not end up using

for their intended purposes. For example, the Solid Low Profile Front Cap that comes in the kit will allow the silencer to act

as a really good traditional silencer, and the Vented Low Profile Front Cap that may be bought separately will allow the

silencer to act as a "flow bypass" type silencer. For bolt action rifles and for many semi auto hosts the Standard front cap is

ideal as bolt actions don't have gas blowback issues through the ejection port and most semi auto hosts are helped already

by the larger bore which already reduces gas blowback and reduces ear sound very well while maintaining great 1m left of

muzzle sound reduction. On bolt guns the performance is incredible.

For over gassed hosts and for those people using semi auto hosts that prioritize preventing toxic gases from being blown

back into the shooters face to a more significant degree and/or for people that don't want to deal with changing their gas

system or other system modifications, then a Vented front cap is ideal. A Vented cap will help reduce ear sound in some

instances depending on the host and ammo, but is primarily geared toward limiting gas blowback and further limiting the

effect the silencer has on host firearm function and will increase the sound at the muzzle. When compared to an

unsuppressed host, the Vented cap on the Hyperion will maintain the default bolt velocity or limit the bolt velocity increase

to ~1-15 % depending on the host firearm, gas system/setting, and cartridge. In the future there will be other vented front

caps with smaller/fewer vent holes which will allow the user to tune the silencer to their exact host and their needs/wants.

Thanks to the DMLS manufacturing process and finish machining, the inner bore diameter and the outer tube diameter are

all perfectly concentric by default. This translates to the taper joints at both ends which ensures that any current and future

accessories made for the front end or the back end of the Hyperion are always going to be concentric to the bore. The

silencer is also coated internally with S-Line which will prevent fouling build up. This is a proprietary Dynamic Compound

Deposition process used to apply Boron Nitride on every internal surface. It is a myth that rifle silencers “self-clean”

regardless of who makes the silencer (NOTE A). The exterior is coated with DLC. The exterior of the core features a 7/8" hex

feature for wrenches and is wide enough to use with most wrenches to prevent marring of the barrel.

2 - The different front caps, as talked about in Section 1, will change the function of the silencer entirely depending on

which one is installed. In the future there will be different vented front caps which will have different numbers of vents and

different sizes of vents. There will also be a version with a long central flash hider which will also have peripheral flash

hiders for each coaxial vent hole to help alleviate peripheral flash that plagues the single function flow bypass silencers

currently available.

OVERALL LENGTH (including direct thread rear hex and Low Profile Front Cap front hex) – 9.5"

ADDED LENGTH (same config, assuming .625" barrel threads) – 8.9"

CORE ASSEMBLY WEIGHT (whatever accessories are chosen will add to this) - 15.1oz

DIAMETER - 1.75"

REAR CAP HEX – EXTERIOR 7/8”

FRONT CAP HEX - EXTERIOR 7/8”

NOTE A / CLEANING - All rifle silencers will build up fouling over time, regardless of what manufacturers choose to tell

consumers. It is an internet myth that rifle silencers don't need to be cleaned, there is an abundance of actual physical

evidence from many companies in the silencer industry that rifle silencers do accumulate fouling (copper/lead/carbon/etc)

and that they do need to be cleaned as that fouling can lead to significant weight gain, significant sound increase, flash

performance reduction, and in some cases accuracy reduction. It is best practice to weigh the silencer and record the base

weight prior to use. Then every 1-3000rds weigh it again and see how much build up it has inside. After an ounce or so

builds up then clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions. The S-Line internal coating used in all CGS rifle

silencers prevents most build up from occurring in the first place, which is something that nearly all silencers do not have.

Cleaning of the Hyperion can be accomplished when needed by dunking the core in titanium safe solvent for 24-48hrs and

then draining it. You can then shoot a mag through it (using the Vented front cap or no front cap installed) to remove

whatever fouling is loose. Repeat as needed. But chances are you will not get any meaningful build up over the course of

tens of thousands of rounds thanks to the internal S-Line coating.

ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY

Prior to use, ensure all taper shoulders are clean,

threads are greased, and that components are

properly shouldered against their corresponding

surfaces and tightly secured to correct torque

values. Front Caps should be tightened to the

Hyperion at 20-25ft/lb.

1. Thread the Front Cap into the front of the

Hyperion until hand tight (Images 1-2)

2. Using a torque wrench on the 7/8”

wrench flats on the Front Cap, and while

holding the core either by hand or with

another hex wrench, tighten together

until 20-25ft/lbs is achieved. (Image 3)

NOTE:

If the suppressor parts appear to be

misaligned when assembled, stop the

installation process and contact CGS. Use of

the suppressor if not properly assembled can

cause damage to the suppressor and firearm

and could cause injury to the shooter.

If you experience loosening of threaded

joints during shooting it is recommended to

degrease the threads and use a quality

thread locker such as Vibra-Tite 123 and

reasonably increase torque value.

To disassemble, simply

reverse Steps 1 through 3.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove the magazine from the firearm,

then visually and manually check and

clear the action and chamber of the

firearm. Make sure the host firearm is

unloaded at all times.

2. Check the barrel threads to ensure they

are clean and free of debris. (Image 7)

3. Thread the assembled Hyperion clockwise

onto the barrel threads, being careful not

to cross thread, until hand tight and

secure against the shoulder of the barrel.

(Image 8-9)

4. For normal use, very hand tight will do.

For extended use, torque the Hyperion

using the 7/8” wrench flats to the barrel

threads to 25-30ft/lbs while using an

armorers tool such as the Geissele

Reaction Rod (if needed) to prevent

tweaking or damage to the host firearm

gas system or barrel assembly.

5. Visually inspect that the suppressor is

mounted straight to the centerline of the

bore. Ensure that it is not tilted or canted

in any way, and that it is fully shouldered

and secure on the barrel. (Images 10-11)

NOTE:

If the suppressor appears to be misaligned,

stop the installation process and contact

CGS.

Use of the suppressor if not properly

mounted will cause damage to the

suppressor and firearm and could cause

injury to the shooter.

To uninstall, simply reverse

Steps 3 and 4.

MAINTENANCE

1. It is recommended that the suppressor be weighed prior to use and recorded, and at intervals of 1000-3000 rounds depending on

the ammunition being used record the weight and round count. Once the Hyperion is an extra ounce or two over the base weight,

it is a good time to clean the silencer. Only clean if actually necessary.

2. If cleaning becomes necessary, disassemble, and dunk the Hyperion Core in a titanium safe solvent for 24-48 hours.

3. After the soak time has elapsed, assemble the Hyperion and ensure all taper shoulders are clean, threads are greased, and that

components are properly shouldered against their corresponding surfaces and tightly secured to correct torque values.

4. Ensure the suppressor has drained completely and fire ~10rds through it with the front cap removed. This will blow out any excess

solvent. Installed desired front cap after this process is complete.

5. Do not use a bore patch or jag to clean the suppressor.

6. After cleaning a light coating of grease should be applied the threads, and all taper shoulders should be cleaned.
