Episode 188 - BOSS Silencers and Suppressed Hunting with Thermal (21-NOV-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.132 - BOSS Silencers Chairman (7.62) on the .308 bolt action. This is the technical discussion of this white paper released last week. A Tesla valve design principle? Maybe, but not exactly. (00:07:05)

  2. Sound Signature Review 6.133 – BOSS Silencers Guillotine (5.56) on the 5.56 MK18. This is another silencer with analysis published last week – and this is the technical discussion for that article. (00:27:11)

  3. Whitetail deer season is in full swing! I just had a great weekend hunt. Used traditional tools, with a silencer, during the day. At night? Advanced tools with silencers and thermal. Be the apex predator your tribe wants you to be. Hunting story time! (00:41:12)
