I didn’t really believe it either. A claimed 108 decibels with CCI Standard ammo? More reasonable than JJFU’s claims, that’s for freakin’ sure, but still hard to believe when dry firing a Ruger 77/22 is ~106.5 dB and simply loading a round into a Ruger 10/22 is nearly 105 dB.

When we hear “3D printed” we usually think of flimsy plastic, but Daniel Defense‘s new DD WAVE suppressor is made via a process called direct metal laser sintering. A thin layer of powdered metal is deposited — in this case, primarily Inconel — then a powerful laser sinters (melts/welds) specific parts of it to the … Read more
Thunder Beast Arms Corporation, TBAC, has made a name for itself in the precision rifle world by making lightweight, extremely quiet suppressors that maintain utmost accuracy. Generally speaking, they’re expensive and appeal to the PRS shooter, long range shooter, and hunter, but not the heavy use crowd. Soon, though, TBAC will be releasing a $495 … Read more
