Advanced Armament Corporation or AAC is an American company that develops and manufactures firearms, firearm silencers (suppressors), muzzle devices and related accessories. It is now based at 1816 Remington Circle, Huntsville, AL 35824
Kevin Brittingham founded Advanced Armament Corporation in 1994 to manufacture sound suppressors, having previously been a distributor for GEMTECH, another silencer manufacturer. Under Brittingham's direction, AAC grew to be one of the largest silencer manufacturers in the U.S., including a number of small military contracts. Of note, one of AAC's chief silencer designers is Robert Silvers, creator of the PhotoMosaic. In 2009, Brittingham sold the company to Remington Arms. Robert Silvers remained at the company as a leader of research and development. In early 2015 AAC moved locations from Lawrenceville, GA to a new, larger, state of the art facility located in Huntsville, AL.
AAC has been responsible for numerous innovations with regard to sound suppressor development, among them interchangeable pistons to allow suppressors to be exchanged among firearms with different barrel thread patterns, fast-attach rifle silencers, and the use of lightweight alloys such as titanium. The company produces numerous "lifestyle" products related to AAC and/or the NFA firearms community, including T-shirts, stickers, etc.
AAC's silencer lineup includes models suitable for virtually every firearm caliber between .22 Long Rifle and .50 BMG. Rimfire models include the Avaitor2, and Element2. Centerfire pistol caliber silencers include the Ti-Rant series and Illusion9 the only true eccentric designed silencer to utilize factory sights as well as allowing the use of rail mounted accessories on the host firearm, both of which use an interchangeable piston system in their Nielsen device. Centerfire rifle suppressors include the M4-2000 (used by numerous military units including the Navy SEALs), 762-SDN-6, SR series as well as the Cyclone (for .30 caliber precision rifles), and others.
The company's Titan-QD Fast-Attach suppressor is used on the US Army's M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle and the Remington MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle). The suppressor eliminates 98 percent of muzzle flash, 60 percent of recoil, and reduces sound by 32 decibels.
