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)

Episode 167 - Flow-Through Ti Silencer Flash, and the PEW Science Suppression Rating (21-JUN-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. New Sound Signature Review this week! Kick off your shoes, put your feet up, and enjoy the detailed characterization of a relatively new silencer on the scene. New players entering the space? Yes. Is it making things interesting? Absolutely! (00:11:26)

  2. The night time is the right time! What happens when you shoot a Flow-Through titanium silencer on a 14.5 inch 5.56 machine gun at night? Does it flash? Does it spark? What about under night vision? What about with thermal? The humanity! I’ll give you some of my recent field experience with the HUXWRX FLOW 762 Ti from this past weekend. (00:20:31)

  3. Independent laboratory testing of silencer sound signatures – coupled with engineering analysis. Why do we do it? It’s more than just for trust and mitigating conflicts of interest. The research state of practice and grassroots education; thank you for helping PEW Science build the Silencer Sound Standard research pedigree. (00:58:16)
