My suppressor's numbers

[Dolomite_supafly]

So I got my decibel meter in today. I decided to check my can on a few different platforms.

I also checked the meter against a decibel reference library and the meter I have is within 3% of all of them

Testing on empty guns:

Ruger racked empty: 108.9 (decibel reference 112.5) (18" to the left)

Ruger hammer drop on empty chamber: 108.8(Decible reference 102.7) (12" to the left)

22 AR racked empty: 113.1 (12" to the right)

Marlin pulling trigger on empty: 114.7 (12" to the right)

I was shooting Winchester Subsonic HP's. I was out in the open to minimize the false readings from echos. The can was dry and was measured ~1 meter to the left and level/even with the muzzle.

Now shooting:

Marlin rifle with a 20" Barrel: 104

Ruger 22/45 with 4.5" barrel: 110.8

22 AR with 10" barrel and tube/rails covering the suppressor: 101.2

Cricket pistol with 4.25" barrel: 98.0

I may go back and revisit these numbers later on once I figure out how to really use the meter but the numbers seem within the realm of possibilities.

Sounds good to me. Definitely would like to see an update when you do.
