Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Bluefish]

And repeated exposure to sounds in the 120s is still not a great idea.

But, as a hunting can, it does seem to hit the mark.

In the 120’s you should be hearing safe for 10+ shots a day. With single protection, ie just plugs or muffs every shot you are exposed to is in the 120’s or higher without a can. This illustrates why everyone should be using silencers.

My SOT agreed to hold until January one on a ZG 6.5 and 7. Tough decision but probably worth the $400…

That’s a no brainer, dude. January’s right around the corner.

the can got so hot I had to cool it with a wet T-shirt.

Good tip! I'll tell my assistant that she needs to supply this, my friends on the internet said so afterall

I am going to buy a couple Airlock suppressors come January I think they will be perfect for my 2 new ULUL builds

I’ve got the range set aside for us on Friday night and Saturday morning 9am.

Friday, Nov 14th, 7pm at triple j armory in Littleton, co. This will be indoors. Please be aware of the limitations and don’t be fussy. No one else will be on the range except our group.
I will bring a 17” .223 and 16” 6.5cm along with a TBAC Ultra 5 gen2. I’m going to try and have an OG 6.5 on hand as well.

You must complete the waiver to enter the range. https://app.otterwaiver.com/p/triple-j-armory/eaydF7XjpO

If you get there a few minutes early, please consider buying a box of ammo for us to shoot from the shop or some other item you may need.

If anyone local can “run” the Saturday morning session, send me a message. And by run I mean heard the cats and make sure range is clean & clear after the session.

If you want to check out the suppressor but can’t make it this weekend (I know, short notice) please send me a pm. I’m going to work with other Kyle to get another date on the books with more notice to all.

Denver Demo. I’ve been in contact with @h2so4 , who’s friends with the owner of Triple J Armory. We’re transferring a demo 6.5 Zero Gravity to Triple J Armory in Littleton, CO. If anyone in the Denver area wants to check it out or get some range time with it, feel free to stop by. They’ll have it for about two weeks before Form 3’ing it back to us. I will update this when it arrives to them.

I’m planning to be there for the Friday night session. Thanks for setting it up.

I don’t have a can to bring of my own, ZG 6.5 will likely be my first so I’m interested in seeing it. I will bring my 20” 6.5cm in case we want another length.

What’s the cost? I may be able to swing by with a TBAC U7 for comparison as well.

No cost. Triple J is hosting as a favor.
Saturday at 9 am. I’ll update original post too.

Thank you for sharing this.

@4th_point — Looking forward to your dissertation on this.

atmat,

Not a dissertation, but since you asked...

The averages posted (screenshot below) were not calculated correctly.

Whoever calculated the averages treated them as linear units. That is incorrect. Decibels are log units and the log average needs to be used.

Formi made the same mistake, in another thread.

For the numbers presented, it doesn't make a huge difference. But, do you now understand that people need to be careful recording, analyzing, and reporting noise measurements?

@DannyB what is the estimated weight on the 22 can?

 

[4th_point]

Please explain exactly how these expensive sound level meters are being used improperly. Not in this thread - start a new one specifically on that topic. Not for a step by step to help manufacturers improve (that’s professional consultation). I’m asking specifically for “what the consumer needs to know.”

I’ve found many of the smarter people I’ve met are able to articulate complicated topics in a more approachable manner.

Just shoot me a PM if you want to discuss it. Or start a thread and tag me, and I'll answer as best I can.

I did create this thread too: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/thread-for-noise-tech-talk.420317/

FWIW - I have no dog in the suppressor fight. I do wish Danny the best of luck though. The Airlock performance seems impressive, and he's come across as a genuinely nice dude. And has been a gentlemen in this thread.

@DannyB what is the estimated weight on the 22 can?

Around 3.70 oz.

 

[Okie_Poke]

Around 3.70 oz.

A sub-4 ounce can?

 

[DannyB]

A sub-4 ounce can?

It’s roughly 50% smaller in volume than the Zero Gravity 6.5, so the weight reduction is from the smaller form factor.

 

[ebrownw2]

I haven’t even picked up my ZG6.5 yet but I’m sitting on go for that little fellow when it gets to market.

 

[4th_point]

I mean this respectfully as someone who deals with statistics in a clinical environment where small changes can have significant outcomes: the above statement is silly.

It can’t make no meaningful difference and also be of utter importance in recording/calculating.

Was the mean calculated incorrectly? Yes

Does it do anything to shift the comparison between the suppressors? No

I imagine most people don’t care one iota about the intimate complexities of sound measurements. Once something is hearing safe, people care about which one is quieter.

You can believe what you want. Good luck.

@4th_point
Speaking for myself but I'm assuming there's a fair number of people on here who have a similar sentiment.
Would you please knock it off. It's obnoxious having threads fill up with your bickering with people. You aren't helping anybody in this thread have a better understanding of what's going on. You regularly come on here and criticize everybody else who's trying to be productive. It comes across poorly to the community. Let it go or do it in a private message.
