Outdoor life suppressor testing

Hard to say that airlock didn’t perform well across the board. When you look at their weight and size vs the sound numbers they kicked some butt.

I like the Tbac summit.

However. It’s hard for me to believe that they aren’t setup for what Tbac knows tests best for their cans.

Third party always the best imo. Even though not perfect, this data matters and is significant.

Airlock makes a bad ass product

Both the airlocks in the test were mine, I love them, they're great cans. They need to get a braked can to market. It's gonna add a fair amount of weight, but please DON'T time it with shims in an attempt to keep it as light as possible.

Why would you want a company to do their “own” test? Give me a 3rd party, unbiased test. We’ve already heard the “tone” spin.

Exactly. The "tone" nonsense was just straight up comical. It turns out, they just don't meter that well>

We already have a timing system designed that adds little to no weight, is tool-less, and doesn’t involve shims.

The majority of those who have been running a suppressor for multiple years now will agree, this isn’t the answer. Will it sell to first time suppressor buyers and competitive shooters? Absolutely. Is an 8 ounce, 7” suppressor that is not remotely hearing safe what most experienced suppressor owners here out west desire in a their rifle system? No.

No, they are gonna sell like crazy to western hunters and to those that have been running suppressors for multiple years

Personally I was interested to review this testing & was able to glean some information from the test.
Nothing earth shattering but helped me confirm
my overall goal for my desired next suppressor purchase. I’m on the right track, & plan to wait
for some soon to come products.

Good to have options.

Idk how well a brake will work on those. It’s not going to be more recoil at least, but reducing recoil with a brake means wider bore and more gas flow to let the brake work which will be detrimental to sound. The SAW Orev w/brake is pretty similar recoil wise to a scythe/recoil x Gen 2 while being significantly lighter and quieter if you’re looking for a good option right now

Well when are we seeing this because I need it’

All the results show a supressor that's 5-7" long saw a 30-35% reduction in sled travel by removing the end cap and installing a recoilX, the shorter than can, generally showed a better increase in travel.

On a precision match rifle, weight isn't a concern. The orev is 7.5oz, gen2 recoilX will make it 11oz.

I'm very interested in the muzzle behavior with thr airlock braked can, I bet it'll be very close to, or actually be hearing safe at the shooters ear.

I had the chance to shoot a few rounds with the tenet cans that day on a 65mm short mag, and it was crazy flat with very little sight picture disturbance in the scope. 3d print titanium with brakes and getting them to hearing safe levels will be the future of supressors.

Once this tech is figured out, shooters will be able to start stepping up in cartridge size without the previous drawbacks that came from the push provided by a can disturbing the sight picture to the point of losing your target.

It was only a few years ago that there were no cans available that I was interested in for hunting, now in a very short time there are a handful.

I can’t wait to see what’s going to roll out in the next few years,
