SSS.6.98 - YHM Turbo T2 and the MK18 5.56x45mm Short Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The YHM Turbo T2 is a somewhat compact 5.56mm machine gun rated rifle silencer that possesses competitive sound signature suppression performance with many silencers on the market, while possessing higher back pressure compared to some designs. The silencer is capable of using mounts from other manufactures, which may enhance utility to some users. Without a mount, the Turbo T2 weighs only 10.4 ounces and is 5.5 inches long.

In this review, the Turbo T2 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a short barrel gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the YHM Turbo T2 perform on your AR15 short barrel rifle?

SSS.6.33 - Research Supplement: 30 Caliber Hunting Silencers - First Round Pop (Article Preview)

Eight silencers evaluated by PEW Science are included in this members-only Research Supplement to examine relative First Round Pop (FRP) performance characteristics. The silencers in this group were selected for their applicability and market popularity for use as hunting silencers; silencers possessing length and/or weight characteristics making them conducive to field use on bolt-action rifles.

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