... Uncle Sam has spent a Deuce-N-Half full of $100s to ascertain suppressor backpressure. We did it a long time ago for a tacklebox full of singles. 🤷😎 ML

- laruetactical @lumberjacked_coder ... Because I am a premier barrelmaker, I can say with conviction that there is no such thing as "two barrels exactly the same". 38 likes
- longrangescience @laruetactical people don't realize how true this really is 8 likes
- okie_gunslinger @lumberjacked_coder I'm not a world class barrel maker and can tell you even if those barrels came of the same machine, from the same batch, made one after the other their will be differences. You will need a micrometer to tell but there will be variations. Microscopic variations in the tool, slight differences in the metallurgy of one barrel to the next. It is a physical impossibility to make them identical. 6 likes
- lumberjacked_coder @laruetactical well I mean more generally. Same length, gas port, manufacturer, etc. Not talking about 0.0001 tolerances. More like "both are 18" with 0.075 gas ports". 4 likes
- laruetactical @lumberjacked_coder ... So you mean give it a lick and a promise and see if they act alike ? What's the point ?
- the_grouchy_boomer_ @laruetactical I think he means they are exactly the same but different. 😊 3 likes
- laruetactical @tubefitter61 .. Okay, I chuckled 😎
- lumberjacked_coder @laruetactical well if they're the same barrel (length and gas port) then that would show how much one suppressor is better than the other because the test base is the same. 1 like
- wpatertr @lumberjacked_coder obviously
- lumberjacked_coder @wpatertr they don't look the same. That's why I was asking.
- those_arent_pillows @lumberjacked_coder you could always swap cans and check for repeatedly of results. Doubt those balloons come with an NIST cert, tho.
- those_arent_pillows @those_arent_pillows *repeatability
- laruetactical @those_arent_pillows ... I say again, the balloons were for Analog Brains. There are extremely sensitive sensors buried inside, grabbing the numbers. 1 like

- eljefe757va @brodyscarlett1 what a stupid comment. 4 likes
- brodyscarlett1 @eljefe757va why? The reason I was calling it "ghetto" is because it is using a balloon as a measuring device, which doesn't output data for comparing (like a pressure sensor would). It's still a cool way of visually comparing 2 suppressors, but definitely not a formal test rig. 2 likes

- those_arent_pillows @cjrollins7 let's be honest: the balloons are a *little* ghetto. If you want real data, it's gotta be hooked up to pressure transducers and a logger.
- laruetactical @those_arent_pillows ... Geez, you simply don't get it. You think you've once-again outsmarted the smartest in the business and now you want to show your ass. 🤪
- dale.patterson.94 @laruetactical , Glad you didn't use the word "transducers". Would have fried a few brain cells of some of these folks... I just love glassy stares, though.
- dale.patterson.94 @brodyscarlett1 , The balloon is just to cover the vent, so the CO2 doesn't "taint" the Earth. 🤓
- dale.patterson.94 @laruetactical , those "highly sensitive guages"... Would you say there are... A PLETHORA of them??

davispinner All the credit goes to the TranQuilo suppressor or are there other things yall do to your uppers? Looks neat! I don't have a suppressor yet but this has my interest
- laruetactical @davispinner ... Yes, all credit goes to my LaRue TranQuilo. Ask anyone that has one. There is no gas making it to the ejection port. I bled it all off before the bolt unlocked, which unplugs the chamber end of the barrel. 7 likes

- laruetactical @mattson39 ... For obvious reasons, flowthrough cans are a wee bit louder. But they dramatically cut breathable particulates 2 likes
- dale.patterson.94 @laruetactical , I'm glad somebody is considering what goes out the exit hole, instead of going back to the bolt. That's a big deal, and very few people understand it. You don't want to be breathing that stuff.

akramer989 Ok now try huxwerx
- laruetactical @akramer989 ... Huxworks can make their own back pressure tester. Like no-back-pressure cans, it's easy once someone has shown you how. 😎 3 likes

laruetactical ... I was just thinking while at the H.E.B. grocery, there are still people walking around in masks. The same group that said the masks were needed also said 140dB and not a 0.001 dB more. Here we go again - Trust the Science 😎 19 likes

- mgonz9731 @laruetactical I don't think he meant so @pewsciencellc can "improve" your suppressor OR patent sir. I think it's so people who can't get their hands on one without waiting the 9-12 months can get an idea of exactly how good the can is. Without blindly buying one and waiting way too long @pewsciencellc and @thejaysituation podcast are the only objective ways many people have to be exposed to different suppressors. It would probably raise interest in and awareness of the benefits of your suppressors. 7 likes

- matt_fisher_actual @laruetactical it's not about marketing. It's not about doubting whether or not you "checked all the boxes" or invented it. I would genuinely like to see it compared with other suppressors in a standardized testing protocol.
