So Sugarland and I have been throwing around the idea of actually testing our suppressors with calibrated sound meters. What brought this up is we read all the time on suppressor sites "reduces noise by 30-34dB" or what have you and they don't say how they're testing it. IE - how far they are from the muzzle or how high they are. They'll say what gun and ammo. So we were thinking about coming up with a standard testing procedure and getting as many people as we could with rifle and handgun suppressors and actually scientifically (LOL) testing them to see what they're really getting.
So, if anyone would be interested in being involved with the test we need to line out a few things.
1. Where do we want to do it?
2. When do we want to do it?
3. How many people are coming?
4. What are you bringing?
I can write the procedure so we're at least doing the same thing every time. IE - 3' off the groun, 2' from muzzle with the meter 90 degrees off to the right side or whatever. We can log what gun (barrel length), what ammo, what suppressor and atmospheric conditions (as they can change the sound barrier FPS).
So, if anyone is interested let's get it lined out and get it done.
Thanks,
Aaron
