Frequently Asked Questions

What is the quietest 9mm suppressor tested in the video?

The Advanced Armament Corp Ti-Rant 9mm demonstrated the lowest average sound level at 129dB, making it the quietest suppressor among those tested in this rigorous comparison.

What testing protocol was used for the 9mm suppressors?

The suppressor testing strictly adhered to Mil-Std 1474D protocols, utilizing professional impulse sound metering equipment and sub-sonic ammunition for accurate and consistent data collection.

What firearm was used for the 9mm suppressor tests?

A Glock 17 pistol equipped with a threaded barrel was used as the host firearm for all 9mm suppressor tests, providing a consistent platform for performance evaluation.

What is the significance of using sub-sonic ammunition for suppressor testing?

Using sub-sonic ammunition is crucial for suppressor testing as it travels below the speed of sound, eliminating the sonic boom and allowing for a more accurate measurement of the suppressor's actual sound-dampening capabilities.
