Thanks Shane! It has been fun doing the channel and I have learned a ton from it.

Thank you and thanks for the comment. 👍🏼

🤣

Lol epic!

I don’t think the Ventum 556 is out yet, it was a Ventum 762? Maybe it would make a difference if it was 556 specifically? No dog in the fight, just wondering.

@@davelpz3340 I may have been mistaken on the exact can, it was dark and I had been up for about 20 hours at that point after all.

Great comment. I have done a lot of night matches with tons of different suppressors. I too, noticed that the reduced backpressure cans definitely vent more "smoke" out of the front. Definitely more noticeable on a calm night.

It can be mitigated with different powders but that is hard for bulk range ammo. Cheaper ammo is a lot more gassey generally

Sure. But he isnt getting as dumb from slurping lead.

Thank you Paul. I really wanted to take the time to put this content out there. I know its not exciting to listen to someone talking about hearing damage but I see so many people get a new can for their AR and shoot all day at the range without any earpro. Just wanted to help share the knowledge. Thank you for watching.

@@XRING Thank you for your comments Ray much appreciated. As you now have a SPL meter and the required skill to use it may I suggest another variation on this video! I was on range some time ago and a friend of mine rocked up with a 300 Win Mag with a muzzle break next on me on the firing line, the concussive blast off the break blew me sideways! Would it be possible to do a comparative test which shows the sound level at your ear and at a shooters ear to your left or right with no muzzle device verses the sound level at you ear and the person next to you with a muzzle break?

Thanks Nate. I agree and thank you for the comment and for watching.

Thank you olamorken and thanks for watching the channel.

LOL!. I really wanted to get the first hand experience with them without ear pro. Definitely makes a difference in my opinion of them.

B&T SRBS 556 Full Size DM just showed on Silencer Sh_p with a "free" tax stamp. It has been my experience that one pays for the stamp and then is reimbursed at the appropriate time. 👍🇺🇲

Whoa, I just scrolled down the news letter and the B&T SRBS 762 Full Size DM also is offered with free tax stamp! 👍🇺🇲

Hux makes very good cans. I completely forgot that I have a 7.62 Hux as well. I should have added that to the test as well. DANG IT!

The Flow 762 is even quieter at the muzzle on 5.56 but sacrifices a little at ear. Love the 762 on most all of the semi autos especially 7.62x39 and 6.5 grendel

Thanks Joaquin! I am trying to stay more regular with the videos when possible. Too much to review and so little time!!! Have a great week.

Definitely an important consideration since the cost of ownership of a suppressor is quite high when you factor in the tax stamp and accessories. 👍

Look at the Hux Ventus

That awesome Snakeman! The Hub definitely makes life easier but at the cost of a little more weight. Definitely something worth considering when purchasing a new suppressor.

Working on it as we speak. Need to get one in for review.

@@XRINGI’ll send you a CAT WB if you want to try one that I have as a demo. I’m an 07/02 in Clarksville, TN. (Longbow Arms). Hit me up if you want.

For the platforms tested in this video my ears liked the Huxwrx. 👍🏼

Thank you for watching Sanmiguel.

Same here! Going to try to get one of the CAT's in as well.

Cat WB or ODB. but 718 and not titanium. titanium gets wayyyyy toooo hot way too quick. ODBs in stock at silencershop right now.

@@Nate-zm6bd is the ODB the same / no blowback? In what ways is it better? Weight, size, sound?

@@WalterRitchey Honestly Id suggest looking up "Cat ODB pew science". They got a long review that goes over a whole lot of aspects. It is a Flow thru no blowback design. They also towards the end of the review talk about how it compares to some of the other leading suppressors on the market. In which ways it beats them and in which ways it may fall short. They also have reviews of the Hux flow 556k and 762ti. So you can read those comparisons. Pew science takes it to a very scientific level that most people dont. Cat is also very responsive on the gram so if you have any questions they usually respond w/in minutes. Cat Wb is shorter than Hux 556k. And ODB is slightly longer than Hux 556k. ODB is actually made for 7.62x39. Which means it can shoot 308/762. But is also currently Pew Sciences highest rated flow thru suppressor on the MK18 556 platform outside of the PTR vent (id prefer the ODB over the Vent due to the vents overly complex internal structures). So that would give you the additional flexibility to put it on 7.62 and 556 opposed to 556k only works on 556. Wb is also a 556 only suppressor.

Back pressure really isn't the metric to buy off of. That's marketing

Huxwrx is really the best from backpressure standpoint.

@Sw1ftenergy but back pressure really isn't a huge issue in most modern cans that balance

Thanks WR! I’m in Western NC west of Asheville .

They have a great warranty and their scopes are very robust.

@@XRING It’s beautiful out there! I’m close to Hickory.

Thanks Will. I like to review them as well but it does make for longer and more involved video reviews.

Probably have to go with the 7.62 version then. I don't see anywhere on their page where it says the 5.56 version can handle 6mm arc. I bought an OCL polonium intentionally for that flexibility so I look for it without having to go up to a 30 cal with overbore.

Oh man!! I know all about that. Wind noise in a helmet for a long ride can definitely damage the hearing.

@@XRING new bike day tomorrow, PX my Yamaha FZ6-S2 for a new Yamaha XSR900 😊

@@jonhewitt3 Awesome! I just picked up a pre-owned 1200GSA. Time to get to riding .

My pleasure and thanks Jeff!

Thanks Gary! I will on some follow up videos. Trying to get some more suppressors in for the next review of them.

Hearing safe is an interesting conversation once you get into the weeds on it. Your ears can safely hear different levels of sound depending on what frequency it is. Lower frequencies can get louder w/o damaging and higher frequencies especially really high it doesnt really take much to do damage. Every time your ears ring, the frequency you hear is the frequency you damaged. And youll never hear that frequency the same again. You are literally changing your ears EQ and youll never hears things the same after the ring goes away. Its typically so incremental you wont notice. Until it adds up and a particular frequency range is gone. Such as highs in the 2k-6.3k range. Ironically thats the frequencies that most suppressors dont suppress. Suddenly you have a hard time understanding people speaking because thats the range where all the intelligibility in words lie. Turn on a speaking video, dump all those frequencies in the EQ and see how hard it is to understand people speaking. And not every persons resiliency to loud noise is the same. So to use a blanket DB number as the line where hearing damage starts isnt correct. Its really person to person. It involves individual resiliency, existing hearing damage and at what frequencies, current diet, blood pressure and health, and what frequencies your suppressor is actually not suppressing (frequencies you hear when you shoot). Still looking for the brown note suppressor. Gonna take some real science to get there on that one. 🤣😉

because it would not be fair.

@@stingers96 💀

@@stingers96you ain’t wrong

I need to get my hands on one of those as well. I have heard good things about them.

@@XRING CAT is the truth

Dang! I’ll check it out. Thanks

Because they still are loud, but alot nicer than unsuppressed. Just think of it as when someone is shooting suppressed near you, they are adding a layer to everyone's ear pro. As he said, -20 to -30 dB at volume of gun shot is a huge decrease of energy.

Definitely louder than most peoples initial expectations. The only thing that really shines is a .22 suppressed and subs out of a 9mm or .300 blk.

Tell me about it!

I've have been all over the place! Glad to be back at it.

Well, it is a good point. However, I couldn’t think of a better way to give actual data on what I hear with regards to tone and intensity between the different manufacturers.

LOL. The Scrambler was definitely impressive as I had no real experience with them prior to shooting this video.

@@XRING I know man! I had no XP either. Oh well. Maybe I might get the scrambler.

That was clearly stated and explained in the video.

Every can in the video is over $1,100 except the B&T at $950. I’ve never had an issue out of my RC2, huxwork I just wouldn’t recommend. I ❤️ CGS

Lmao imagine hating the most proven can In combat history just because you like something else agahahah 🤡 consumer logic

@@johnadams673 yeah, rc2 consumers will keep the industry back because they 90% dont know any better. A lot of cans usually less expensive than the rc2 and lighter, perform the same, or better. You dont know this but: socom requirements are not civilian requirements. You rc2 folks are the meme of the silencer world

@@johnadams673 the most proven can in military use, knights makes it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

@@Omar20v most army combat units have RC2’s, even the guard one I was in had a few dozen. B&T is the world’s largest manufacturer of silencers. Whatever surefire did to you, it’s OK. They screwed me over on O rings a few times as well.

Lol.. is better than what?

Signature reduction is more than just lowest peak sound. Double so when shooting 5.56, it can only be so quiet and still be an effective round (needs speed). Reducing flash and outgas, reduce first round pop, having a tone that "dis-locates" the origin of the shooter all arguably matter more for 5.56 rifle.

@@johnsullivan676 he a rc2 owner. He didnt understood any of that.

I like Surefire but the Hux did really good. I’m surprised. Now I want one.

sc-six nd cat wb might be better then a Rc2
