SSS.6.223 - Otter Creek Labs Universe-36 Review: Multi-Caliber Suppressor Tests (5.56, .308, & 9mm) (Free Version)

The Otter Creek Labs Universe-36 is a multi-caliber silencer suited for use on any cartridge that can travel through the bore. The silencer is constructed from 3D-printed Inconel alloy and offers high performance suppression when paired with pistol caliber carbines (submachine guns), can withstand use on semiautomatic and automatic rifles, and can also suppress magnum rifle cartridges like .338 Lapua Magnum.  Suppression efficiency with the Universe-36 will be highest with subsonic 9mm and lowest with magnum rifle cartridges. The silencer is HUB compatible, features a high flow rate, and has adjustable back pressure parameters for different cartridges through the use of modular solid and vented end cap assemblies sold by Otter Creek Labs.

In this review, the Otter Creek Labs Universe-36 performance metrics depend upon suppressing supersonic centerfire rifle cartridges on a short barrel gas-operated rifle and a bolt action rifle, as well as a subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge on a roller-delayed blowback submachine gun. Suppression of all of these weapon systems is an incredibly difficult task. How would the Otter Creek Labs Universe-36 perform on all of your weapon systems?
