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.

Episode 278 - CAT CACM 556 Testing and Zastava ZVUK 7.62x39 Tech Discussion (08-OCT-2025)
Today’s Topics:
1. Sound Signature Review 6.202 – Zastava ZVUK on a 16.3-in Yugoslavian AK-pattern system. Another U.S. tribute to the venerable Soviet PBS silencer! You saw the Wolverine performance last time. How does an even more modern PBS homage perform? Does this particular implementation of PIP bring the performance? Technical discussion for last week’s report. (00:09:12)
2. Sound Signature Review 6.203 – Combat Application Technologies CAT CACM 556 on the standard 10.3-in untuned MK18. This is a system-optimized silencer, but PEW Science recommended a standard host platform be used for public evaluation. How does this latest SURGE BYPASS model perform in a 6-inch envelope? The total performance may (or may not) surprise you. The 556 wars rage on; this is an introductory discussion for today’s whitepaper. (00:52:36)
