Seems sweet. I want. But then my u7 wouldn't have a home..

9.3”.

Is there room for a 10” Handguard or is 9-9.5” the sweet spot? Looks like 10 would be cutting it close but this may repurpose a 14.5 upper I have collecting dust if it’ll fit.

What did I miss? Didn’t you call out other companies for reporting similar numbers in the past with your firing pin argument? Were you the one off base all along?

Is your obtuseness completely on purpose?

You cannot be this dense.

The entire point that I have stated from the beginning with all of this over a year ago is that- “too good to be true numbers, are too good to be true”. That’s it.

Super sonic rounds do not meter low 120’s in reality.

Nor is a super sonic 308 123 dB at SE.

Seems like a reasonable question to ask. These numbers you're showing are too low, according to your own extensive arguments.

As Form (and others) have repeatedly pointed out, the meters just aren't that good. So, the numbers always have to be taken with a grain of salt. And, so I am told, this is particularly true when numbers get below 130 because these meters get less and less reliable the lower the values get. That's why Form has suggested that getting a can that meters in the low 130s is typically good enough (because you can't rely on most meters with any number below that).

Additionally, even if the muzzle report is below the level of the sonic crack, you would still need to protect your ears against the noise of the sonic crack. So, in some sense, it is a bit pointless to try to get a suppressor that quiet (until you start looking at masking the shooter's noise signature, rather than just protecting his hearing).

So, understanding all that, this OG22 suppressor does appear to meter significantly quieter than the TBAC Ultra 7 that Form/Unknown have consistently used as their comparison point.

Highlighting that part below:

I would not say these numbers are definitive as these meters simply aren’t that precise. However, this can is at the supersonic crack level. That is- the super sonic crack is louder behind the gun than the muzzle report is.

I could say the same thing of my 7.62 AB Raptor 10 with 5" reflex on my 16.5" Tikka .223 and it would be true. It is particularly noticeable when you position yourself so that you are safely off the bullet path, but downrange of the target where you have the opportunity to hear the sonic crack before the muzzle report. So, it is not completely unbelievable to say that a .224 bore suppressor could get a .223 down below ~125 dbA (super sonic crack level).

I’m aware of how it works. I meter suppressors 3+ days a week. Port pop on an AR is not 133 dB at SE. Nor is a super sonic 308 123 dB at SE.

Port pop on an AR is typically 143-145, if I recall correctly. No issues with him calling those numbers out. And it is perfectly reasonable to note that Form was talking about .308 here, not .223 (while the pedant in me also notes that the 2025 TBAC Summit data shows two ~10-11" cans that got super sonic .308 down to 122 and 124).

Additionally, as I understand it, Form had this suppressor out for demonstration at the third S2H course this month. If he was completely full of crap, don't you think one of the people there would call him out on it?

Finally, I will note for all the skeptics here that the TBAC Suppressor Summit is coming up in August. If you don't want to trust Form, for whatever reason, wait and see how Unknown Suppressors' products do at that event.

As for me, I will figure out a way to get in on this purchase without any fear of disappointment.

When are they announcing info on this?

When are they announcing info on this?

That seems like a question for [mention]Ryan Avery [/mention] , [mention]Unknown Suppressors [/mention] , or [mention]Cory_Shoot2Hunt [/mention] (although I think Cory said it’s not running through him).

When are they announcing info on this?

I bet there are 200 of us constantly spam checking the US website, Rokslide and email to grab one.... Or maybe it's just me

I know Ryan had mentioned to pay attention to rokslide today but it looks like UM and maybe US are closed today so that might the holdup.
