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 280 - Otter Creek Labs Infinity AK Testing Intro and Blast Overpressure (22-OCT-2025)
Today’s Topics:
1. Sound Signature Review 6.204 – Otter Creek Labs Infinity on 16.3-in and 12.6-in AK systems. The Infinity it one of the most characterized silencers by the PEW Science Laboratory. With the addition of these two tests, it brings the total amount of Infinity record numbers in the Rankings to 11. In this test program, the vented 7.62 end cap was used, exclusively. Could AK suppression be the Infinity sweet spot? This is an introduction to the white paper published today. (00:08:37)
2. Quick note about blast overpressure. There are hundreds of reports at pewscience.com characterizing blast overpressure from suppressed small arms. What is it? Well, you actually already know. (00:25:07)
