Compact Design Delivers Real Muzzle-Blast Reduction, Recoil Control, and Choke Flexibility Without Barrel Modifications
Witt Machine today announced the RAVENER-12™, the industry’s shortest full-bore 12-gauge suppressor engineered for hearing-safe performance, rugged field use, and seamless integration with popular shotgun platforms. Measuring just 6.5 inches long and 1 5/8 inches in diameter, the RAVENER-12 redefines compact suppression for hunters, tactical shooters, and home-defense users who refuse to compromise on size or effectiveness.
Why the RAVENER-12 Changes the Game
Traditional 12-gauge suppressors often extend overall length to 10+ inches, creating handling headaches in vehicles, blinds, or tight quarters. The RAVENER-12 eliminates that bulk while maintaining predictable patterning, reliable cycling, and measurable reductions in muzzle blast and felt recoil—proven through extensive live-fire testing across Remington, Mossberg, Benelli, Beretta, and other common choke-threaded shotguns.
“We set out to build the shortest 12-gauge suppressor that actually works—hearing-safe, repeatable, and tough enough for daily carry,” said lead engineer [Name Redacted for Press]. “The RAVENER-12 delivers exactly that, plus user-selectable choke constriction in a package you’ll forget is attached—until you touch off the first round.”

Integrated Choke Control
Swap between Cylinder, Modified, or Full constriction in seconds via the suppressor end cap. Slugs require Cylinder choke only—a built-in safety feature that prevents dangerous pressure spikes.
Real-World Recoil & Blast Reduction
Independent decibel testing confirms hearing-safe levels with standard field loads, while shooters report faster follow-up shots and reduced shoulder fatigue—critical for waterfowl limits, 3-gun stages, or defensive scenarios.

Built for the Field, Not the Safe
- Mud-proof, salt-proof, heat-proof: Sealed construction shrugs off the harshest environments.
- Zero barrel modifications: Installs on factory choke threads in under a minute.
- Predictable patterns: Maintains point-of-aim consistency across birdshot, buckshot, and slugs (Cyl only).
Safety & Ammunition Guidelines
The RAVENER-12 is engineered for factory-loaded ammunition only. Users must:
- Match ammo to firearm specifications.
- Avoid high-density shot (Hevi-Shot, TSS, tungsten, bismuth) with Mod/Full chokes.
- Never fire slugs through Mod or Full end caps.
- Comply with all local, state, and federal NFA regulations.
Pro Tip: Pair with 2¾″ or 3″ field loads for optimal suppression and cycling reliability.
Availability & NFA Transfer
Every RAVENER-12 ships with the Choke-Thread Mounting System and transfers to your chosen NFA dealer via Form 3.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will the RAVENER-12 fit my Mossberg 500? A: Yes—any shotgun with standard choke threads (Remington Rem-Choke, Mossberg Accu-Choke, Benelli Mobil, etc.) accepts the included mount.
Q: Can I use 3½″ magnum shells? A: Only with 16″+ barrels. Shorter barrels risk over-pressure and cycling issues.
Q: Is the RAVENER-12 warrantied? A: Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects when used with approved ammunition and within NFA guidelines.
