The valve was used by other ‘commercial manufacturers after MAC went out of business.

Furthermore, it was cortainly the best sound suppressor available to law enforcement and eiians of the day. ts sound signature of 144 decibels (dB) is above the pain threshold (141 d3) anc above the European and US Risk Limits for hearing loss from impuse Noise (140 dB).

Tho 63-grain Ultra Stealth Match ammunition from Engel Ballistic Research has dominated the market- place for some time. Note from the performance SPL table that the scund ‘Signatures daiivered by suppressed weapons with EBR subsonic are often less than a Crosman American Classic Model 1977 .177 caliber air pistol, which dalvers a sound pressure level 0 120-123 dB, depending on the num- bor of pumps. Furthermore, I'vo shot sub-MOA groups with a pristine, sup- pressed M4 carbine at 100 yards. Most Suppressed weapons I've used with EBR ammo deliver 1 to 2 hich groups at 100 yards. Factors such as chamber and bartel dimensions, barral woar, sound suppressor design, end sighting system all factor into an individual ‘weapon's performance with subsonic ammunition. Black Hils 62-grain FMJ was used for much ofthe testing because it mim: ics the performance of MASS ball. No longer in production, it has been replaced by a superior tactical round featuring a Sierra Matching bullet. ‘Some of the tests were run with Black Hils 80-grain V-Max, which is used by some LE departments as a tactical ound. (My own preference would ba the Black Hils 55-graln SP or a ballstic tip of 55-grains) Individuals and agon- ‘los can order both Black His and EBR ammunition factory direct, if its not available localy. ‘The Smigett and Tactical suppres- sors from TL Gunes offered useful, painful, learning experioncs for mo. ‘They were quite compact, well but, delivered remarkable sound reduction for their size, and virally elrinated first-round pop.

The bottom line to this survey is thal the armed professional has 2 diverse Set of impressive, readily available tools to moet almost any mission essential need. Federal legislators should note that the tremendous achievements in ‘sound suppressor and quick mount designs nave taken place because sales in the civilian marketplace pro- viido the funding for R&D. A vibrant, sophisticated, and highly competitive civilian marketplace is why US sup- pressor technology tends to leave the Fast of the world in the dust. This is 2 “Big Truth.” Furthormors, manufactur- ‘ers need civilian sales to fil in the large dry periods between military produc tion runs. This Is another Big Truth. With the exception of only one compa- ny that immadiately comes to mind Worldwide, no suppressor company serving military and counter terror mission-essential needs could survive ‘without diversified sales, What's Next? “That brings us to the final question: “What's going to be the Next Big “Thing?” t's something suppressor designer Don Walsh and | have been advocating since the 1980s: cuppross- ing squad automatic weapons AWS), ‘general-purpose machine guns (GPIGs), and heavy machine guns (HIMGs). At loast eight manufacturers Worlduide have working or prototype suppressors for bett-fed machine guns. The primary mission-essential needs are likely to be reduction of flash visible to the naked eye and to night vision devices (NVDs), reduced vibration that kills the circuitry of NVDs, anc the reduction of envronmental dstur- ances such as cust or sand clouds. The actual amount of sound reduction will be somentere down the lst ater other performance requirements. ‘Thera is a lesson here forall end- users shopping for sound suppressors.
