Duration: 16:47

This video explores extreme sound suppression methods for firearms, including unconventional materials and techniques. It highlights the significant noise reduction achieved with suppressors, especially on bolt-action platforms like the Q Fix in 8.6 Blackout. The experiment culminates in burying a suppressed rifle, demonstrating the effectiveness of mass and isolation in dampening gunshot noise, albeit with a baffle strike.

Quick Summary

The quietest method tested for suppressing a gunshot involved burying a suppressed rifle completely in dirt. This extreme measure significantly dampened the sound, though it resulted in a baffle strike due to debris entering the suppressor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the quietest way to suppress a gunshot?

The quietest method tested involved burying a suppressed rifle completely in dirt. This extreme measure significantly dampened the sound, though it resulted in a baffle strike due to debris entering the suppressor.

Can common items be used as makeshift gun suppressors?

Yes, items like gun cases, bags of corn, or bean bags were tested as improvised suppressors. While they offered some noise reduction, they were significantly less effective than dedicated firearm suppressors.

Are bolt-action rifles quieter than semi-automatic rifles with suppressors?

Yes, bolt-action rifles are inherently quieter when suppressed because they lack the cycling action noise present in semi-automatic firearms. This difference was demonstrated in the 8.6 Blackout tests.

What is the CMMG Dissent's modularity feature?

The CMMG Dissent features modularity allowing for quick upper receiver swaps between various calibers, including 9mm, 8.6 Blackout, .308, 5.56, and .300 Blackout, enhancing its versatility.
