Silencer Sound Standard™
SSS.7 - PEW Science Rankings (Free Review Links)
Overall silencer operational performance is a function of several parameters, some of which are interrelated:
Host weapon characteristics (barrel length and action type).
Cartridge.
Ammunition type.
Accuracy influence on the host weapon.
Flow restriction (back pressure).
Durability and maintenance factors.
Total weight and size envelope.
Sound signature suppression.
Flash signature suppression.
This PEW Science Rankings section of The Silencer Sound Standard addresses performance parameters of the suppressed small arm weapon systems assessed publicly by PEW Science, to date.
As more data is generated and analyzed, additional Rankings will be added to this section.
