Tippmann Arms has introduced two new integrally suppressed .22lr firearms: the ELITE ISS Rifle and the ELITE Bug Out ISS Pistol. This launch coincides with the elimination of the $200 suppressor tax, effective January 1, 2026, aiming to enhance access to suppressed firearms and improve shooting experiences for enthusiasts and trainers.
Tippmann Arms states “Tippmann Arms, a leading U.S. manufacturer of .22 caliber modern sporting rifles, proudly announces the release of two new integrally suppressed firearms: the ELITE ISS Rifle and the ELITE Bug Out ISS Pistol. This launch marks Tippmann Arms’ official entry into the suppressor-equipped firearm market, timed strategically ahead of sweeping changes to federal law that remove the long-standing $200 suppressor tax under the National Firearms Act (NFA), effective January 1, 2026.
The removal of the suppressor tax is expected to dramatically expand the availability and adoption of suppressed firearms across the United States, making suppressed shooting more accessible to sportsmen, trainers, and firearm enthusiasts. Tippmann Arms is positioned to lead this new era with premium integrally suppressed rimfire systems engineered for accuracy, reduced sound signature, and reliable performance.”
