Suppressor Testing??

[Lawnboi]

Not trying to be argumentative but giving some food for thought.

What about sonic crack? Nobody is accounting for this besides tbac it seems.

In certain environments that’s the loudest part of the report.

No suppressor shooting supersonic is able to take that away. Therefore any suppressed shot without ear protection has the ability to do some level of damage.

Carry on about arguments related to suppressor noise but once you start shootings g something so big that the sonic crack is the loudest part of the event, you realize that you still need ear protection, and are just accepting the risk when shooting without.

I can’t say scientifically but I have shot the same cans in enough environments to know that even if I have my 9” Tbac mag us on, if I shoot next to a barrier or under cover it’s going to be loud but in a field with wind at my back it seems quiet.

It’s a damn good thing spring bear season is almost here…

There's been no relevant information discussed about the actual performance of any of the cans in this test for the last multiple pages.

Holy cow, not sure how I missed this thread but. I’d say there’s some issues with how everyone is testing cans! We have the wheels in motion on getting a proper meter because for some time now we have had doubts about the data we were gettin back regardless of who’s can we’re testing! That said, to get back on topic and not to spoil the results Ryan is going to post but I stopped by when he was doing his testing and color me surprised when I saw the difference between the .30 reaper and the 6.5mm reaper! No surprises with the airlock, it stacked up right where it always does

Can you clarify what this means?

We’re all making good stuff. That’s a fact.

I wouldn’t call that surprising though—6.5 has a smaller bore, so it’s naturally going to trap more gas than a .30 cal on a 6.5. That’s just physics doing its thing.

We are also getting @Ryan Avery a production Zero Gravity 30 in a few weeks for comparison.

Now that will be fun!

Except, we have been told by authority, that bore diameter on normal cans doesn't change much and is mostly nonsense.

I believe the only difference between the Reapers is the end cap bore diameter, ?
Not the thru bore of the suppressor internally.
It’d be interesting to see if it’s advantageous to
Have the internal diameter reduced as well, or maybe it performs better by having larger internals
And tighter end cap.
Have any of you manufacturers tested the various configurations possible?
I know there are so called caliber specific models,
But to what level are they caliber specific besides length, diameter, volume, baffles etc.
Ie: Bore sizes & end caps or just end cap bore?

Whomever that is....doesn't understand physics lol.

Because I don’t have an Airlick. You’re responding like there is some kind of hidden agenda here. A fat, muzzle forward can with high back pressure is totally uninteresting to me- as I have told Danny. It is not what I want in a suppressor and therefore I am not buying one. You don’t see me running around using a Scythe or Reaper either (though the Reaper with the OTB is so effective that would use that some).

A heavier and louder OTB suppressor that can only offer a mystical and unmeasurable “tone” is a lot more uninteresting imo…
