Videos tagged with Pillow Silencer

This video tests the effectiveness of using a pillow as a makeshift silencer, a common trope in movies. The host conducts a sound test by firing a firearm into a pillow multiple times and compares the resulting sound to firing without the pillow. The visual evidence shows the pillow accumulating bullet holes, indicating it was used as a backstop.

An ex-CIA officer investigates the effectiveness of using a pillow as a firearm suppressor, a common trope in movies. The video details a practical test where the officer uses children's pillows, a sound meter, and ammunition to empirically determine if a pillow can significantly muffle gunshots. The description also highlights the creator's expertise from his background as a former CIA operative and author, emphasizing his training in various defensive techniques, including firearms and home defense. The video aims to debunk or confirm the cinematic myth through a hands-on approach.

This video tests the effectiveness of a pillow as an improvised firearm suppressor. A baseline gunshot with a professional suppressor is compared to firing a 9mm handgun through a pillow. The results suggest a noticeable, though not complete, reduction in sound, with debris ejected from the pillow. The experiment highlights the potential for basic sound dampening with improvised materials.

This video tests the effectiveness of using pillows as a makeshift gun silencer. Starting with a baseline unsuppressed shot, the experiment progresses through one, two, and finally three pillows. The results indicate that three pillows significantly muffle the sound of a 9mm gunshot, mimicking a suppressor effect. The creator, Johnny Q, concludes that this DIY method can indeed work for silencing firearms.

This video tests the effectiveness of a pillow as a makeshift firearm suppressor, demonstrating that it can muffle sound by approximately 70% but is far from silent. The experiment highlights the damage a pillow sustains from muzzle blast and emphasizes safety, strongly advising against attempting this outside a controlled range environment.

This video tests the effectiveness of pillows in silencing gunshots, a common trope in movies. The creator aims to see if pillows can genuinely reduce gunshot noise. They acknowledge that the decibel app used for measurement is not professional-grade and is only intended to indicate sound reduction, as accurate equipment is expensive.

This video debunks the 'pillow silencer' myth by conducting a practical experiment. Using a 9mm handgun and Federal 115-grain FMJ ammunition, the test demonstrates that a pillow can significantly muffle the sound of a gunshot, though it does not eliminate it entirely. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of basic suppression methods against common movie tropes.

Jerry Miculek debunks the 'pillow silencer' myth by testing its effectiveness in slow motion. The experiment shows a pillow can reduce sound and muzzle flash but does not function as a true suppressor. Ammunition performance, specifically the Hornady Critical Defense bullet, remained consistent.
