Episode 181 - Listener Questions, PEW Science Suppression Rating, and Member Thank You (04-OCT-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Listener Questions are back! We continue answering the questions from the 5th solicitation. Are we going to finish it? That’s a solid “maybe.” Very strong maybe. (00:09:51)

  2. PEW Lab Quiz #7. Oh yes. A simple one! Wasn’t too hard. But, it might be one of the most important quizzes they have done. How do you use the PEW Science Suppression Rating? What is it for? Are you using it correctly? Let’s go over the answers to the quiz to make sure folks are all on the same page! (00:48:37)

  3. Huge thank you to PEW Science members – this effort has been grassroots from the beginning and that continues well into our third year of operations. From the consumer, dealer, manufacturer, and distributor support – to our professional lab testing clients – you have all combined your forces to create the greatest truly independent third-party testing and analysis database ever published. Kudos to all of you! (01:14:45)

Episode 176 - CAT ODB on 5.56, PWS BDE 762 on .308, and more Quizzes! (30-AUG-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Latest public laboratory white paper – Sound Signature Review 6.120 – CAT/ODB/A1/718 on the 5.56x45mm MK18 SBR. Short tech brief for you, as is our new routine. Controversial silencer? It just might be – because of physics. (00:09:49)

  2. The PEW Lab is releasing another white paper this week. The data has passed review and it’s for Primary Weapon Systems - the PWS BDE 762 on bolt-action .308. The BDE 762 is a modular silencer and a hybrid DMLS / subtractive design! Is DMLS the future of silencers? No, not of all silencers. Of high-performance silencers? Yeah, probably. (00:44:29)

  3. Did you folks get last week’s PEW lab quiz correct AND the weekend quiz? There were two! Let’s go over the answers. You folks are some smart cookies! (00:55:27)
