The nomad family is lighter and quieter and works with non-soviet guns. I found the constraints acceptable to get that level of performance:

• must be concentric- ie a quality AK with a modern era barrel- WBP, Arsenal, Saiga, etc
• must be threaded in either a western pattern (most keymo mounts) or in 14x1 LH (jmac)

benefits of wolverine:

• tolerates low build quality AKs
• allows you to larp around with can that looks like a ПБС-1
• will work on almost any eastern european host due to the adapter fitting many different bizzarro thread patterns

Further thoughts:

• the PBS-1 was barely used by the soviets since I understand it arrived towards the end of the 7.62x39 period... and in the modern era they use all the 9x39 guns instead
• the actual PBS-1 was garbage, with rubber wipes, poor performance, etc
• almost all the stuff you can put on AKs is post-cold-war stuff like belomo/zenit, so you're fitting an "authentic" looking suppressor to a gun that is solidly post-soviet to anyone that knows anything about AKs
• 7.62x39 in short barrel is the optimal small AK setup (5.45 is absolute trash from small barrels) but there is no authentic soviet equivalent to this- the krink is from the period AFTER they rejected 7.62x39 in favor of 5.45.

So given the choice of being "authentic" vs having something useful, I got a nomad and I only use high quality kalshinikovs with it. In addition to my other hosts who wouldn't work with a wolverine.

The nomad family is lighter and quieter and I found the constraints acceptable to get that level of performance:

• must be concentric- ie a quality AK with a modern era barrel- WBP barrels are CHF barrels from FB Radom
• must be threaded in either a western pattern (most keymo mounts) or in 14x1 LH (jmac)
