This episode of the Gunwerks podcast delves into the multifaceted benefits of shooting suppressed. Beyond the obvious hearing protection, suppressors reduce muzzle blast, prevent flinching in new shooters, and can even influence game animal behavior by altering sound propagation. The discussion emphasizes that 'hearing safe' is a complex metric and encourages a holistic approach to suppressor selection beyond just decibel ratings.
This video provides a direct comparison of the sound signature of a CZ Scorpion pistol when fired unsuppressed, and then suppressed with a Dead Air Wolfman in both its short and full configurations. The presenter uses 115-grain steel-cased ammunition and notes that due to shooting into a berm at close range, the ammunition is likely behaving subsonically, offering a good indication of how heavier subsonic rounds might sound. The test aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Wolfman suppressor in reducing firearm noise across its different configurations.
