SSS.6.21 - Research Supplement: Helios QD, Sandman-Ti, and Thunder Chicken Further Analysis (Members Only)

CGS Helios QD, Dead Air Sandman-Ti, and Q Thunder Chicken on a .308WIN Bolt Action Rifle with 20-inch Barrel

The previous Sound Signature Reviews of the CGS Helios QD (6.13), Dead Air Sandman-Ti (6.19), and Q Thunder Chicken (6.20) presented typical sound signatures of the silencers on a .308 bolt-action rifle with an 20-inch barrel.

This members-only research supplement is intended to provide more information to PEW Science members with regard to specific sound signature characteristics of the tested configurations in the aforementioned reviews and to help frame objective loudness comparisons between the three silencers. This supplement is part of ongoing PEW Science small arm weapon system sound signature research.

The three silencers in this comparative analysis were included based upon their similar or overlapping categories of physical characteristics and performance parameters, such as length, weight, suppression, and back pressure.
