That's what 6mm Badger spent and he explains why... "In this video, I install a real steel Manta Suppressor Cover onto my Toxicant XM5 airsoft replica.

This cover is meant for real suppressors that heat up — which obviously isn’t a thing in airsoft — but I’ve grown to like the look. After trying to 3D print one and not being happy with the result, I decided to pick up the real deal from Manta Defense for around $80.

I had to trim it down to fit my PTS Dead Air Sandman suppressor, but overall the fit is solid. It adds weight, sure, but visually? I think it works."
