Episode 222 - Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2: 5.56 PEW Science Analysis and Case Study Intro (31-JUL-2024)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.157 – the Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 on the MK18 5.56x45mm Short Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle, with a comparison case study of Surefire Total Signature Reduction Technology. Can you use a 30-caliber silencer on 5.56 as expect good results? How well does the Surefire technology scale when you change venting, volume, and bore size? The PEW Science research pedigree has the answers. This is the introductory discussion to this whitepaper published today, so let’s talk big picture. (00:08:43)

  2. Short topic – Are adjustable gas blocks bad? I mean, not really. Can they be? Yeah, sure. My kingdom for a compact, non-leaky block, with fine adjustments. (00:26:43)

Episode 156 - Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 and the Silencer Sound Standard Anniversary (29-MAR-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.106 – the Surefire SOCOM762-MINI2 on supersonic .308. This is the technical discussion of the article published on Sunday! Tons of Surefire data is now available; more than ever before. Do you know why the WARCOMP mount is suboptimal for suppression? (00:05:56)

  2. Three years since the Silencer Sound Standard and the PEW Science Suppression Rating became a reality. They were launched in March of 2020. How has the silencer industry changed since that time? (00:50:59)
