Great videos as always.

The average numbers make it look like all these cans perform the same, but comparing the muzzle number sequence shows a difference in "first round pop". Oddly that difference isn't quite as pronounced in the shooter's ear numbers; maybe a look at data in the impulse domain (area under the curve) would reveal more than the peak pressure amplitude?

Regardless, it looks like all of those perform quite well. I wouldn't be upset with owning any of them, although I'd be prejudiced towards lighter weight given the typical use case of hanging off the end of a handgun or PCC. Kudos to the TBAC team for its willingness to share data so openly.

" maybe a look at data in the impulse domain (area under the curve) would reveal more than the peak pressure amplitude?"

An open and effective way to do this is being worked on.
