Episode 168 - Aero Precision Lahar-30 on the 5.56 MK18 (28-JUN-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Signature Review 6.116 – the Aero Precision Lahar-30 on the 5.56 MK18 SBR! You already saw bolt action .308 data for the larger Lahar-30L in article 6.112. Now, the mid-size version of the Lahar series is evaluated on 5.56! Mid-size, but short, at 6 inches long. How does it perform? This is the technical discussion of the article published last week. (00:11:26)

  2. Summer time testing is in full gear! A lot of great manufacturers making neat products – a lot of neat data being gathered, and what a great time to be a silencer consumer! Whether you are a weekend warrior coyote hunter, a CQB trainee, a long-range tactical enthusiast, or even just a backyard plinker – there are most likely great things available for you! Thanks for continuing to trust PEW Science to characterize all this stuff – it’s a great joy! (00:56:26)

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)
