Pew Pew Solutions — Suppressor Lab

Suppressor data collected by people who actually shoot them — running consistent, documented protocols. No controlled lab environment, no peer review, no apologies. Just real-world numbers you can actually use. Or don't. You do you, boo boo.

📐 Test Methodology

Shot Protocol5-shot string. Shot 1 fired cold with suppressor at ambient room temp. Shots 2–5 fired ~10 seconds apart. Both suppressed and unsuppressed strings recorded.
Primary Metric (4-Shot Avg)Excludes Shot 1 to remove first-round-pop variation. This is the most consistent apples-to-apples number across suppressors.
First Round Pop (FRP Δ)Shot 1 dB minus the 4-shot average. Positive = louder first shot (typical). Negative = quieter first shot (uncommon). Smaller absolute value is better.
Hearing Safe4-shot suppressed average below 140 dB — the widely accepted threshold for brief exposure without hearing damage.
Velocity DeltaAverage fps change between suppressed and unsuppressed strings. Negative = suppressor reduces velocity. Closer to 0 is better.
POI ShiftPoint-of-impact shift when suppressor is added. Averaged across 3 measurements. Closer to 0 = better mechanical consistency.
Value MetricsdB reduction per dollar, per inch, and per oz. Higher = more suppression per unit of cost, size, or weight.
Variable ConditionsWhen the same suppressor is tested with different ammo or host firearms, each run appears as a separate row. Use filters to isolate specific conditions.
