Oceania Defence is a New Zealand suppressor manufacturer that has been a world leader in firearm suppressors since 2012. In fact, founded by engineer and shooter Bert Wilson, the company pioneered a radically different way to build a silencer: instead of machining and welding baffles, every Oceania Defence suppressor is grown as a single, monolithic unit by 3D metal printing. That approach removes spacers, welds and support structures, and opens up internal geometries that simply cannot be machined. As a result, the range is exceptionally strong, light and compact suppressors, which Para Bellum now distributes exclusively across Switzerland, France, Austria and Germany.

The story

Engineered in New Zealand, printed one piece at a time

Historically, Oceania Defence began when founder and Managing Director Bert Wilson, an engineer and experienced shooter, realised that metal 3D printing could rewrite the rules of suppressor design. Instead of assembling a stack of machined baffles, he set out to print the entire core as one integral part.

Then, in July 2019, the company moved into the custom facility of New Zealand additive-manufacturing specialist RAM3D in Tauranga, and the two have jointly developed suppressors for military and police tactical units around the world ever since. Oceania Defence now holds patents on 3D-printed suppressors and supplies defence and law-enforcement clients globally.

In short, their design philosophy is about balance. As Wilson puts it, in suppressor engineering "you can get really good in one area and make it really bad in another", so every model is tuned to hold weight, size, back pressure, sound and flash signature in equilibrium, rather than chasing a single number.

The technology

What sets Oceania Defence apart

Specifically, four proprietary technologies define the brand's suppressors and the reason serious operators choose them.

Patented HyFlow dual-path design

Gas is split at the blast baffle and routed along two paths, processing it roughly twice as fast as a single-flow can. Consequently, back pressure drops sharply, a real advantage on direct-impingement rifles, while flash and sound stay low.

Ratchet Lock quick mount

A two-turn coarse thread with a ratchet-tooth retainer locks the suppressor on fast and stops it loosening under fire. A large tapered conical seal prevents carbon locking, so it always comes off cleanly.

Selective Laser Melting

Selective Laser Melting grows every core as one monolithic, non-disassembleable body by 3D metal printing. No spacers, no welds, just superior tolerances, minimal weight, and internal geometry that machining could never produce.

Nielsen booster for pistols

Pistol cans such as the UTU 2 integrate a Nielsen device that absorbs and returns energy at firing, letting tilting-barrel pistols cycle reliably with every ammunition type.

The materials

Two alloys, chosen for the mission

Oceania Defence prints in aerospace-grade metal powders, matched to how hard the suppressor will be run.

Inconel 718

  • Retains strength at extreme temperatures
  • Built for high-rate-of-fire and full-auto use
  • The choice of military and tactical units
  • Exceptional durability, round after round

Titanium 6-4

  • Matches aluminium for weight, far higher heat tolerance
  • Ultra-light for hunting, police and sport shooting
  • Resists deformation under sustained fire
  • Compact, low-signature package

Good to know

Oceania Defence, frequently asked questions

Where are Oceania Defence suppressors made?
They are engineered and 3D-metal-printed in New Zealand, at the Tauranga facility Oceania Defence shares with additive-manufacturing specialist RAM3D.
What makes a 3D-printed suppressor better?
Printing the core as one monolithic unit removes spacers, welds and support structures. That gives superior tolerances, lower weight and internal flow geometries, like the patented HyFlow dual path, that cannot be machined conventionally.
Inconel or Titanium, which should I choose?
Inconel 718 holds strength at extreme temperatures and suits high-rate-of-fire and full-auto use. Titanium 6-4 is ultra-light with high heat tolerance, ideal for hunting, police and sport shooting.
Which models can I buy from Para Bellum?
We currently stock the Ratchet Lock HyFlow G5 (5.56 rifle) and the UTU 2 9mm pistol suppressor, with other models available on request.
Where does Para Bellum deliver?
Para Bellum sells exclusively to certified operators in Switzerland, France, Austria and Germany, with permit guidance throughout the process.
