MP5 Suppressor Test w/ Dead Air Wolfman (PTR 9CT)

Published on June 23, 2023
Duration: 2:32

This video provides a sound comparison of a PTR 9CT (MP5 variant) with and without a Dead Air Wolfman suppressor. The test uses 115-grain ammunition, noting that shooting into a berm at close range likely keeps the rounds subsonic, offering a good indication of how 147-grain subsonic rounds would sound. The comparison covers unsuppressed, Wolfman in short configuration, and Wolfman in full configuration.

Quick Summary

A PTR 9CT (MP5 variant) was tested unsuppressed and suppressed with a Dead Air Wolfman. Using 115-grain ammunition, the full configuration of the Wolfman is expected to provide the quietest sound signature, offering a practical comparison for suppressor effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Dead Air Wolfman perform on an MP5 variant like the PTR 9CT?

The Dead Air Wolfman, tested on a PTR 9CT, showed a significant reduction in sound when suppressed. The full configuration is expected to be quieter than the short configuration, offering a noticeable difference in noise levels for the MP5 platform.

What ammunition was used for the MP5 suppressor test?

The test utilized 115-grain ammunition. The presenter noted that shooting into a berm at close range likely kept the rounds subsonic, providing a good comparison for how dedicated subsonic ammunition would sound when suppressed.

What are the different configurations of the Dead Air Wolfman tested?

The Dead Air Wolfman was tested in two configurations: a shorter, more compact setup and a longer, full configuration. The full configuration is anticipated to offer superior sound suppression due to its increased volume.

Is shooting 115-grain ammo into a berm a good test for suppressor effectiveness?

Yes, the presenter suggests that shooting 115-grain ammo into a berm at close range can approximate subsonic performance. This allows for a practical sound comparison that mimics the effects of using dedicated subsonic ammunition with a suppressor.
