Today’s Topics:
1. Sound Signature Review 6.205 – Combat Application Technologies CAT BEN micro silencer on the subcompact Beretta 21A. Rimfire is back. Compact? Yes. Everyone wants to put small silencers on subcompact hosts. Sometimes that can be pretty loud. Does the BEN offer relief? Technical discussion for this report and PEW-SOFT HD Hazard Map published last week.
a. Introduction (00:06:42)
b. Silencer Hazard Map Brief 8.1.2 (00:14:36)
c. Technical performance (00:19:10)
d. Final thoughts (00:41:18)
2. Silencer Hazard Map Brief 8.1.3 – Unsuppressed MK18 in the free field. There has been a lot of talk about blast overpressure, human risk, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). This deliverable should help folks get more familiar with blast loads, understand blast overpressure in familiar terms, and help silencer folks become more familiar with traditional blast overpressure hazard and human risk vernacular.
