Control of the competition? Seems your goal was an open standard; that would mean exposing all avaliable in the field. No?
Sorry dude. I read the sheet early am, catching up on the thread now.
It was shorthand for "search the page for the word Otter"
They were tested. We were 1st at muzzle and ear on 308 bolt action.
They did awesome, congrats!
Nice dude. I re-read the results and saw your cans in there. I originally caught the paragraph about the attendees, and that's when I didn't see Otter.
Magnus is a great can. Splitting hairs by fractions of a dB is meh at a certain point. Realistically I’d call the top spots even. If you reran this 100 times I’d say sometimes magnus would win by a fraction and sometimes hydro would win by a fraction. This specific day though luck was on our side lol
Ok, I think I’m gonna need to purchase this super secret prototype, now that I know you’ve been holding out…Magnus is a great can. Splitting hairs by fractions of a dB is meh at a certain point. Realistically I’d call the top spots even.
Hydrogen wasn’t our quietest design from development though, it was our second best. We deemed the first too hard to produce and meet the sub $1000 price point we wanted to be at.
We’ve got more in the tank if ever needed.
Thanks guys
Huxwrks cans or just in general the flow through cans are not that quiet given how they are designed. It's not for max noise suppression but to give out less back pressure and some noise suppression.
I'll just echo that the Hydrogen L is a great can. So is the Nomad LT and Jolene and the Magnus. Depending on the criteria selected to sort by in the 308 section, they swap top positions by fractions of a dB. They also have different design trade-offs which is great for the consumer. I will note that if you need a can for your SBR'd 300 PRC, the Magnus will take it.Magnus is a great can. Splitting hairs by fractions of a dB is meh at a certain point.

I'm aware but there are plenty of people who are saying they sound amazing at SE because of the reduced backpressure. Many are touting the 556k is very quiet in general also. Comparing it to the better baffled cans in sound reduction. Looking at the SE data again there was a lot of ties in DB so it actually did ok.
Haha yes that’s exactly what I would expect would happen as far as swapping spots. Hydrogen can’t take that SBR magnum heat I’ve tried, magnus can keep all that I don’t want no part of itI'll just echo that the Hydrogen L is a great can.

This is great data! Thank you for the effort. How often you think this will be updated? Yearly I'm guessing...
I dunno, I heard the old OSS, now Huxwrks, cans and thought it was really loud for the size. Even other people I know who have shot the newer flow through cans always say it's louder than a can of comparable size. But then again, I really don't buy cans based on DB ratings. I buy based on what my needs are for. DB levels are somewhat low on that priority list of cans. I would consider the Huxworks if I was to buy a large frame AR. Since I know most of them run like shit when suppressed.
Justifying loudness of high flow cans for their back pressure benefits seems to be defeating the main purpose of a SOUND SUPPRESSOR. Sounds like you need to rediscover flashhiders. Zero back pressure and great flash reduction.... I get the high flow trend with ARs but it shouldn't be at the detriment of the main purpose of a can.
Probably yearly. The limiter isn't doing the testing itself, it's getting all the manufacturers in the same place at the same time.
Right.... OCL got the ML by less than a DB, TBAC got the 225 by less than a DB, OCL got the SE by 1.5DB which is supposed to imperceivable to the ear. Sound like damn near a tie. I'd be interested to hear a OCL Hydro L next to a TBAC Magnus to hear if there's a tone difference.
I doubt there would be to like 99.99% of people unless you have super hearing. I’ve heard them both and once you get so quiet they all sound the same to be honest.

Well sound performance wise you are competing with TBAC which is amazing at your price point. If I'm being honest I got the Magnus because of a 50% off cert and their reputation is top tier in there QA/QC and customer service. I also have one of your OCM5s that should be out of jail soon and have been patiently waiting for your OCM30. OCM5 for a 16" 223 bolt gun and the OCM30 will be for a 16" 308 bolt gun which the mount/threads machined in the barrel. So I appreciate your budget mindedness and willingness to do odd ball stuff.
I own a Magnus, Nomad-LT, and Hydrogen-L… They’re all 3 pretty comparable.
