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)

Episode 152 - KAC 5.56 QDC on the MK18 and 14.5 Midlength Progress! (01-MAR-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.104 – the KAC 5.56 QDC on the 5.56 MK18. This is the technical discussion of the article published on Sunday! (00:07:20)

  2. The 14.5-inch midlength gas AR test uppers have been purchased. Now we wait! What, if any, predictions do you guys have for performance changes from the 10.3-inch MK18? (00:56:24)

  3. Folks seem to be using the data appropriately! Folks choosing silencers for their guns – sometimes they aren’t looking for the quietest stuff. But, they do know what their use cases are – that’s how looking at a silencer’s features, along with the Suppression Rating, can help! Big thanks to the members who make it all possible. (01:01:52)

Episode 151 - 14.5-inch AR-15 5.56 Test Host Selection, Testing, and Quality People (22-FEB-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. PEW Science testing with longer AR-15 barrels. Next up? 14.5-inch midlength gas. Simple? Absolutely not. Let’s talk about the factors influencing this host selection. (00:11:41)

  2. First quarter 2023 is swamped, but productive. Recent field-testing updates, current workload, and expectations. Hearing Protection Act? Probably not. (00:53:25)

  3. Shout out to Detective D. in Kansas – he is a LEO, a podcast listener, and follower of the effort. His daughter also made some patches to make fun of us enthusiasts and our night vision addictions, etc. Quality listeners, quality people, and heartfelt support. This is what the effort is all about – and we’re all learning together! (01:04:37)
