SSS.6.115 - Research Supplement: Flow-Through Silencers vs. Conventional Silencers. Head-to-Head Detailed Comparison - Nomad-Ti vs. FLOW 762 Ti vs. Thunder Chicken (Members Only)

Three silencers evaluated by PEW Science are included in this members-only Research Supplement to examine relative First Round Pop (FRP) and overall sound signature suppression performance characteristics. The silencers in this group were selected for their very similar holistic sound suppression performance; their similar PEW Science Suppression Rating on a supersonic centerfire bolt action rifle. The three silencers behave differently, despite their similar performance. Silencers with similar suppression performance sometimes have very different flow restriction, or back pressure, partially characterized by the PEW Science Omega Back Pressure Metric. These are three examples of such silencers.

The Suppression Rating is a Damage Risk Criterion (DRC). As such, it characterizes the postulated risk of hazard to bystanders, or the weapon operator, from a suppressed small arm weapon system. Despite achieving a similar Suppression Rating, some silencers may have certain signature characteristics that differ from others, and those differences are of interest to users.

This 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 three supersonic 308 rifle silencers that possess similar holistic sound suppression performance. Both FRP and total sound signature suppression regimes are examined. This supplement is part of ongoing PEW Science small arm weapon system sound signature research.
