SSS.6.159 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/DD/A1 and the Savage Model 10 PC .308 (Free Version)

The CAT/DD/A1 (CAT “Dirty Dave” or CAT DD) is a compact “K-sized” 7.62x51mm NATO rifle silencer intended for use on reciprocating weapons. The silencer exhibits a high flow rate and significant sound suppression for its size. Using a high pressure adaptation of CAT SURGE BYPASS technology, the CAT DD produces low relative FRP and is one of the most consistent compact 30-caliber rifle silencers evaluated in the research pedigree in this combustion regime.

In this review, the CAT DD performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge; no easy task. How would the silencer perform on your .308 bolt-action rifle, and does it have performance traits that are appropriate for semiauto use?

SSS.6.130 - Combat Applications Technologies CAT/WB/A1/718 and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The CAT/WB/A1/718 (CAT WB) is a compact and extremely advanced 5.56mm machine gun rated rifle silencer that exhibits significant back pressure reduction and sound signature suppression performance, for its size. Its sound suppression performance on both medium and short barrel 5.56x45mm rifles is significant. Notably, the CAT SURGE BYPASS technology in the silencer appears to balance high flow rate behavior with superior overall signature suppression. The silencer is available in two 3D-printed material options; proprietary Inconel alloy and Titanium. The weights of both models are notable. The CAT WB represents one of the most advanced systems evaluated by PEW Science, to date.

In this review, the CAT WB performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a commonly fielded gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the CAT WB perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel?

SSS.6.122 - Combat Application Technologies CAT/ODB/A1/718 and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The CAT/ODB/A1/718 (CAT ODB) is a relatively compact and extremely advanced 30 caliber machine gun rated rifle silencer that exhibits significant back pressure reduction and sound signature suppression performance, for its size and caliber designation. Its sound suppression performance on both subsonic 300 BLK and short barrel 5.56x45mm is significant. Notably, the CAT SURGE BYPASS technology in the silencer appears to balance high flow rate behavior with significant overall signature suppression, even when over-bored for the cartridge and even when using subsonic ammunition, which is highly unusual. The silencer is available in two 3D-printed material options; proprietary Inconel alloy and Titanium. The weights of both models are notable. The CAT ODB represents one of the most advanced systems evaluated by PEW Science, to date.

How would the CAT ODB perform on your personal defense weapon?
