Results



We are testing in accordance with MIL-STD-1474D using calibrated military-approved equipment and provide these or unweighted results. Measurement equipment includes calibrated Brüel & Kjær model 2209 Impulse Precision Sound Level Meter with 20 μs rise time using GRAS pressure measurement microphone model 40BP (Bruel & Kjaer model 4136 equivalent) while positioned one meter left and level with muzzle, oriented upward, and 1.6 meters above dirt/grass. Digital samples are taken from AC output signal path by M-Audio Solo at 10.4 μs intervals (96,000 per second) and 24 bit resolution (16.7 million possible steps). Recording hardware rise-time has been estimated at (using the 0.35/BW formula) 8.75 microseconds while the microphone is estimated to have a rise-time of 5.0 microseconds. Total system calibration during each use with Brüel & Kjær model 4220 Pistonphone. Sound analysis is linear to better correlate with perception. Linear measurement results in higher levels than "A" weighing and this data should not be compared to MIL-STD data. Temperature and humidity measurements by Kestrel meters. Silencers will be examined for evidence of artificial environments. If present, this will be noted unless the medium can be removed.

Please see Testing Method for a more complete description as well as a link to the previous method last used on May 6th, 2005.

Disclaimer:

While this data is captured in good faith and without bias under controlled circumstances, it is not always comparable to other environments or test equipment. An effort was made to have the data be reproducible and correlate with what a human observer would agree with, but your results may vary. This data must be interpreted with knowledge of how environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and location effect the results. We do try to compare related products in the same session to make this data as comparable as possible. Please ask the manufacture for their specific test protocol. Do they use 10 or more shot averages or just take the best shot of the day? Ask them.

Individual suppressors may vary depending on age, condition, manufacturing tolerances, and cleanliness. Finally, there is more to a silencer that sound levels. Durability, weight, accuracy, length, attachment method, customer support, etc. all matter so please don't make a decision based on these numbers alone.
