Best flow through suppressor

Chabadnik, do not passive-aggresively put ideas onto me that way.

It only continues your pathetic fake-superior dishonesty. Go rub your hands together or something.

Chabadnik "Jay" pretends to offer science to dorky fellow Chabadnik "new gun owners" hampered by the usual Chabadnik insecurities and neuroses. "Which is LOUDER? I am WORRIED!"

Go punch a pile of glass shards, pipsqueak.
 
I was thinking the other day how insane the suppressor market is. That a consumer is supposed to buy a product based on its sound performance without ever hearing it for themselves. Unlike a lot of products we buy, suppressors are a secondary tool. They don't get used by themselves. They only get used in conjunction with a couple of other items. And those items get a huge vote in how the downstream component performs. So even if you were able to shoot a Bad Johnson .375 reverse flow, Mongolian, double sided Ti/ Inconel, fuck-can on.your buddy's Kel Tec survival pilot .22LR breakdown gun, it's not a good test for your use. I mean hell, you get to at least test drive your truck.

I commend any effort to baseline these cans for the consumer. Pew (quasi)Science, TBAC Sound Summit. Even YouTube comparisons like JuicyMedia

Yeah I think having some sort of performance metrics to compare things is great for the consumer. Especially back when NFA wait times were 6-12 months.
 
I have the hux flow 556k. I wouldn’t necessarily classify this can as “quiet” but it does what it’s promised in terms of low back pressure. My buddy has a velos k and says the same thing, and that is a newer and possibly better can from what I’ve read on the subject.

Both of our hosts are shorter barrel ARs, I believe mine is the same setup that was used at pewscience in the original hux short barrel tests, the dd mk18.

I wouldn’t say it’s fun to shoot even outdoors without ear pro, with regular range ammo.

Consequentially, I’ve heard from countless sources that the hux 7.62 suppresses 5.56 significantly better.
I don't have the Flow 556k, but I do have the 556Ti, so I cannot compare the 2, but IMHO, the 556Ti still needs ear pro for more than a few rounds. Pew data, if you can believe it, shows the Ti version to have better sound suppression than the Flow 556k version.

I also have the 762Ti but have not shot it on a 556 yet, but will do so shortly.

But I have no instrumental ability to measure db levels so any comparison will just be subjective.
