Suppressor Testing??

[Ryan Avery]

Over the past week, I have been testing several suppressors:

- T&K Vorix
- T&K Altus
- Airlocker Zero Gravity 6.5
- Unknown Suppressor Reaper
- Unknown Suppressor Reaper 6.5

I plan to record weekly videos of each suppressor being tested with a sound meter. It should be enlightening. I might even do a little broscience testing similar to this thread. It's about as solid as testing them with a meter.....

I will have the first video up in a couple of days.

Looking forward to this. If possible, even if it’s just bro science, can you speak to recoil reduction between them, assuming you are shooting something with a little pop.

Pretty interested in this with some of the caliber specifics og cans as well. Especially on a 6um

Initial thoughts on the testing you’ve already done over the past week?

I’d be interested in a test of the Reaper 6.5 braked vs un braked at some point if possible.

Looking forward to seeing the overall results of your testing.

@Ryan Avery Any chance of grabbing an OG6-S to throw into the mix as well? With the imminent Group Buy, guys would probably be curious to know how the latest iteration sounds.

I am ready to buy it!

Super interested in this. To really make this effective, could you try and do the following things which are different from how people usually test cans:

• Take 10 samples per can/rifle combo
• Try and do all the testing with a given cartridge on the same day/environmental conditions
• Keep the mic and muzzle locations and orientations as identical as possible between different combos
• Eventually, shoot each can with multiple calibers/cartridges so the effect of bore/bullet clearance can be captured

This might sound like a lot, but we're just talking about 50rds with a ~20" 6.5CM to cover the 5 cans you pictured. Video of the test would be great too, like Form does. Also, if you want help I'd be happy to process the data and tabulate it.

ETA: hell I would even send $$ to cover the extra ammo costs, just to get some better and more apples-to-apples data.

it seems that every testing I have seen people do is exactly this except maybe the 10 shots.

Yep. Lots of variations of what I wrote, nothing with it all present at once.
