LOL. Ope is the kid on the Andy Griffith show. At least in my mind there isn't another possibility.

"Audible Perceived Effect" doesn't really describe a separate category. Isn't that basically equal to or less than the blind behind the shooter category?

No.

APE is the individual person's perception and opinion. We all hear things differently to a certain extent. It was not a blind test, but rather the shooters scored it. The blind test was a group of folks who know nothing of suppressors and they were not able to see which can was being shot, only scored based on sound, facing away, and down range.

Thank you. That is what I was looking for. I like the format just didn't understand some of the categories.

Regarding the "Blind down range" scoring. What was the setup for that?

[SupressYourself]

I have a PTR Vent 1. It is significantly quieter than any other suppressor I've heard. You're telling me that the Airlock 7mm is (roughly) just as quiet, in a substantially smaller and lighter package?
Where do I throw my money? NM, I see that they're planning another preorder on 1/1/26...
