This video tests the effectiveness of using pillows as makeshift firearm silencers for 9mm and .22 caliber firearms. The experiment involves using one and two dry pillows, as well as two wet pillows, with a sound level meter to measure decibel reduction. The presenter, a former CIA officer, highlights potential issues like firearm jams and the unreliability of the sound meter, ultimately concluding that while two pillows showed some muffling, the effectiveness is questionable and not a substitute for proper suppressors. The video emphasizes firearm safety throughout the testing process.
This video explores the effectiveness of using pillows for sound suppression across various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. It demonstrates that while pillows can significantly reduce noise for smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 Auto with sufficient quantity, they are largely ineffective for larger calibers such as 50 BMG, highlighting the limitations of improvised sound suppression.
This video demonstrates an experimental technique for reducing gunshot noise using a suppressed handgun and a common household item, a pillow. The creator, Johnny Q, an experienced firearms content creator, showcases the surprising effectiveness of this improvised sound dampening method. The test highlights the capabilities of suppressors and offers a unique perspective on noise reduction in firearms.
This video demonstrates an experimental technique for reducing firearm noise using common household items. Johnny Q, an experienced shooter, tests the effectiveness of four pillows as a makeshift silencer for a 9mm handgun. The guide includes steps for establishing a baseline sound, testing with varying numbers of pillows, and clearing malfunctions, highlighting the importance of safe firearm handling and PPE throughout the process.
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, demonstrating through slow-motion footage and expert analysis by Jerry Miculek that a pillow does not effectively suppress firearm sound. The test involves firing a 9mm pistol through a pillow and analyzing the results, highlighting the physics of sound suppression and projectile impact. The video showcases the performance of a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Long Slide and Hornady Critical Defense ammunition.
