The Jay Situation

Today’s Topics:1. Sound Signature Review 6.227 – the original, legacy AAC Ti-RANT 45 on the .45ACP 1911 full size combat handgun. Standardized .45ACP pistol silencer testing is finally here! The performance of this historic silencer was examined in great detail in last week’s report. This is the technical discussion of the silencer’s performance. (00:09:15)a. Intro and recap (00:11:36)b. Ti-RANT 45 overview (00:14:35)c. Ti-RANT 45 silencer design (00:32:43)d. Hazard Map Brief 8.1.24 (00:43:30)e. System performance (00:49:12)f. Overall thoughts (01:03:39)2. Sound Signature Review 6.228 – FOR Systems Predator 6.5 with 6.5 PRC. Hunters rejoice. We’re adding combustion energy to the Silencer Sound Standard, gradually! And we’re killing two birds with one stone – shrinking jet diameter. Please welcome 6.5 PRC to the research pedigree. The FOR Systems Predator 6.5 kicks things off. Don’t worry, long action magnum is still coming later. Let’s talk about the method to the madness and just how much 6.5 PRC differs from .308 in today’s introductory discussion.

Today’s Topic: 1. Sound Signature Review 6.214 – Suppressed .45 ACP Historical Case Study: HK MK23 and USP45 Silencers - KAC vs. B&T. Many of us have waited decades for this data and analysis. This PEW Science internal research program consists of six tests, suppressed and unsuppressed. The U.S. SOCOM MK23 Offensive Handgun (OHG) program high fidelity test report technical discussion. (00:07:16) a. Intro and recap (00:09:20) b. KAC MOD.MK23/USP and B&T Impulse-IIA SD Mk23 physical overview (00:30:36) c. The KAC design and what they gave to B&T (00:41:34) d. Pistol silencer inertial decouplers, boosters, and you (01:04:38) e. Hazard Map Brief 8.1.11 (01:29:42) f. MK23 system performance (01:36:53) g. USP45 Tactical system performance (02:00:44) h. Overall thoughts (02:06:44)

Today’s Topics: 1. Sound Signature Review 6.212 – Precision Armament TiTrex 300 on 20-in .308 bolt-action. Bolt action research is important, not only for user utility, but for the lessons learned in combustion propagation from the controlled host. This is the technical discussion to accompany last week’s report showcasing this efficient silencer. a. Intro and recap (00:06:54) b. TiTrex 300 physical overview (00:12:25) c. TiTrex 300 silencer design (00:18:21) d. Hazard Map Brief 8.1.9 (00:26:44) e. System performance (00:33:32) f. Overall thoughts (00:52:13) 2. Sound Signature Review 6.213 – Otter Creek Labs OCM5 and OCM6 reflex silencers on the 14.5-in M4A1RIII. Oh boy… cloners rejoice! As an homage to the famous OPS INC 12th model reflex silencer, Otter Creek Labs created these modern adaptations. Let’s go over an intro to today’s whitepaper characterizing the OCM family. A two-silencer special! (00:57:04) 3. Quick 300 BLK MCX “LVAW” update – added the Geissele MCX-SSA. Very simple addition, but with a few details. (01:10:17)

Today’s Topics: 1. Public Research Supplement 6.210 – the 14.5-in 7.62 NATO KAC SR-25 Combat Carbine (CC) as a silencer test host. Semiautomatic 7.62 NATO testing is here. As typical, let’s look at the combustion propagation characteristics of the new host and see what the silencers will have to deal with as they tackle this new suppression challenge! (00:09:07) 2. Sound Signature Review 6.211 – Dillon DRC308 on the 14.5-in SR-25. Kicking off the SR-25 research progression, the larger brother of the previously evaluated DRC556 is put through its paces on this challenging host. In this introduction to today’s report publication, we’ll talk about the general performance and what we may expect going forward with semiauto 7.62 NATO testing, in general. Can the Dillon tame the beast? (00:25:16) 3. Hazard Map Brief 8.1.8 - Dillon DRC308 on the SR-25 7.62x51mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic Rifle. Boy oh boy. When viewed spatially, how hazardous is the blast overpressure field from a suppressed 7.62 NATO system compared with a 5.56 NATO system? Big brother is here to show you why 7.62 is a different animal. Treat it with respect. (00:36:43) 4. Hunting medium size game with 300 BLK? A lot of you do. I am happy to report that I finally tried it, and it was successful. I’ll give you some of my initial thoughts on using the 6.75-in Sig MCX Rattler LT (LVAW analog) to take whitetail deer and what I would do differently next time, some pros, cons, etc. (00:43:23)

Today’s Topics: 1. Sound Signature Review 6.209 – Stealth Additive Works Tisha on the 10.3-in 5.56 MK18. What happens when high level engineering combines all the hybrid design principles we’ve been discussing on this podcast for years into a compact silencer design, and additive manufacturing makes it possible to produce? You get things like this. The incredible joy it brings us to show you things like this are possible is the best Christmas gift we could ask for. Let’s introduce today’s publication, at a high level. Also, Silencer Hazard Map Brief 8.1.7. a. Intro to the intro (00:08:20) b. Basic Tisha high level overview (00:15:12) c. Industry implications (00:35:28) 2. YouTube. Otherwise known as “the controller of all videos on the internet.” Don’t kid yourself; if you are uploading things to YouTube, they control you to the extent you let them. On a positive note, let’s discuss why that’s OK, as long as you understand the implications. (00:51:15)
