"You can't just report peak DB, you need to do analysis on the complete waveform" then proceed to only publish peak DB numbers, and samples were only collected from the muzzle to boot LOL. You guys have clearly not learned a single thing about making effective silencers since the mid 2000's. Shame on you.

They were better off not doing the testing. Bet my ab warthog is quieter than these

[@SixtyAte]

I do have a question about if it will function well without an adjustable gas block. I have a Ridgeline RD-15-LPR, and wonder if it will work. I’ll actually talk to them and you before I order mine, but thought maybe Kevin could talk about it in a Why Q.

[@flapjackoperator5599]

Lmao, Kevin comparing a full size can to a K can is peak Q, just like how the dude actively tried to portray 8.6 subs as better than 308 Winchester at 1,000 yards

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

The South Paw is a K can and is superior to everything on the market. I never said 8.6 subs were “better” than 308 at a 1,000 yards. I stated the fact that 8.6 subs have more energy and are high velocity at 1,000 yards than 16” 308. Stop being a loser.

Tone is subjective. Decibel readings are objective.

[@NcHalfrican]

@@jalenc3631Tone is literally frequency, how is that more subjective/less objective then decibel? People have a much more intuitive sense of tone/frequency than the rather abstract decibel measurement.

This was hilarious! Loved it! I own both RC’s and was happy to see where the 3 stacked up. I was kinda surprised the old AAC can beat the Southpaw. I thought for sure the Southpaw would be the quietest but it probably has less back pressure than the AAC

South Paw beats it in every way, except mil-std sound.

​@@kevinbrittingham6774 3d printed is only worth more if it performs better. Not all of them do. The CAT WB and the PTR vent 3 perform better in most metrics than traditional baffle cans.
