Good afternoon team, I hope you are all hale and hearty.
Over the festive period I had a whim to buy new silencers for my guns, the current units are no-name.
As usual these days my first port of call was the www to see what was available. After an extensive search
it dawned on me that I had no useful information that would enable me to differentiate one from the other,
only qualitative info like quiet, whisper etc, compared to what?
Nothing about the level of moderation in terms of db or frequency, for that matter were any of them better
than what I had?
What I am going to do with my present set up is to shoot 5 rounds from my guns without any silencer, and then
five shots with the silencer. Using the proverbial app on my phone I should get some comparative data.
I will also chrono the shots.
As part of the exercise I will strip one of the silencers and play around with various internals, I’m sure you
have all seen the YouTube’s on modifications.
I know to do a scientific job you would need an anechoic chamber and a calibrated sound meter and standard
muzzle energy but I just want a rough and ready comparison.
I also noticed that if I bought the said silencer it needs to be delivered to an RFD, is there such a person in Aberdeen.
