Okay.
An unsuppressed gunshot is like a four and a half or something like that from a Mark 18.
And the bolt gun 22s are in the low to mid 90s.
I think he's got a 20-inch barreled CZ something that is his test host.
Okay.
But it's, like I said, he's a nerd and he does, everything's tested to a certain standard, certain specificity, certain, you know,
uh sensitiveness of the sensors that he's using in a certain location above the ground in the free field and same lot of ammunition same firing schedule like it's all standardized so you can compare them side by side
At least platform to platform.
And then you can compare how some of the suppressors compare across different platforms to see where you have dwell time and how dwell time affects at ear suppression and muzzle suppression.
Okay.
Spraying carbon into the suppressor so that it... Spurged it of air.
I mean, you could, but you could also just use an ablative.
Didn't they talk about this?
Yeah, they did.
You could use an ablative or you could pick a... Go look at Pew Science's stuff because he gives you the shot-by-shot suppression and some suppressors handle first-round pop way better than others.
And it has to do with the size and disposition of the blast chamber because if you get like a... Basically, the bigger the blast chamber...
the more first-round pop potential you have because you have a runaway explosion on that first shot.
Whereas if you have it staged so you don't have as much air available...
on the blast chamber it handles the first round pop better so there's there's you can engineer out most of the first round pop uh me going to chamber around with a can of carb cleaners down my chamber like don't don't accidentally grab the starter fluid i didn't say it wouldn't be exciting
It reminds me of locker room antics, and you'd see guys spraying on way too much ax, and someone would sneak over there with a lighter and just... Coach walking in like, what's that smell?
