TiON’s Suppressor Testing Standards

There are many factors that influence the decibel rating and tone of a suppressor, which can make it confusing to understand how a suppressor really sounds before you test it out for yourself…

To establish the most credible suppressor testing results, we follow the stringent testing standards and procedures outlined in Alan C. Paulson’s book Silencer: History and Performance, Volume 1: Sporting and Tactical Silencers, Chapter 5.

This protocol positions the measuring meter 1.0m to the left of the muzzle 90 degrees to the bore axis. Testing height is 1.6m above a non-reflective surface with no reflecting surfaces positioned nearby. 10 rounds are fired and averaged to determine performance. Atmospheric conditions are recorded each time.
