Testing 10 Different LDCs

Scott here's the web site I found;

https://www.airguninsight.com/air-gun-silencers-everything-you-need-to-know/

See what you think.

There’s some pretty crazy stuff on that website. Seems anyone can have a website or a blog with no repercussions. I’d personally not visit there again. Kinda like a restaurant with a nice sign, poor service and bad food.

Agree completely that the info on that site is bad - somebody just wrote what they thought was fact without checking any of it.  Just a bunch of random made up BS, with a few things in there that by dumb luck are actually correct - but most of it is just plain wrong.

But I disagree with your analogy - that page is not like a restaurant with a nice sign that turns out to be bad.  It is more like a building that looks like a restaurant, and with a nice sign saying so, but when you make the effort to walk in you find out that it is a sewage treatment plant . . . .

I read the article. The guy is a complete idiot!!! I live in Tennessee, silencers for PBs ARE legal. Class 3 background check and $200 transfer fee, just like a fully automatic weapon. As far as having to have the gummint's permission to buy an AIR GUN suppressor, NO WAY!!! I don't know where he got his misinformation, but it is wrong!!

The true dark side of the internet. Any idiot (like this guy) can put up &^^& like this for everyone to see.

Did you read his post on shipping airguns with USPS. 

https://www.airguninsight.com/can-you-mail-an-air-gun/

According to USPS procedures and policies, some air guns can be mailed, but they must not count as a firearm per the USPS definition.
Even if you can mail your air gun, remember that a Federal Firearms License is necessary for the recipient.

People... People... PEOPLE!

Reading more... This guy is so full of poop his eyes are brown!

And no way to reply or contact him without giving more info on myself than I want him to have.

How did a thread about the effectiveness of moderators turn into a legality issue on ownership? Some people just got to derail a good train.

I like sleeving my LDCs with laser-cut foams:


.....  I dunno but my LDCs seem quieter with the thick foam sleeves installed.

Probably just my imagination, lol!

Quieter or not, it looks cool and it protects your not so cheap moderators, eh?

 

It's not your imagination.

As I posted in MrBulk's original test-thread,  after I got my DonnyFL Shogun,  I was less tha  impressed.  Then I realized that the aluminum housing itself was ringing. (or "pinging" or whatever you want to call it.)   This was a VERY noticeable ping,  at maybe 2 - 4 KHz.  (I didn't measure it, but I'm an audio engineer so I can pretty much hear pitches accurately.)  Imagine your neighbor hitting a thick steel plate with a hammer. - That kind of sound, just not as loud.

I wrapped mine in duct tape, and the ping dissappeared.   I emailed this info to the company, recommending that they make some kind of "rubber" wrap for their units, but it doesn't seem that they listened.   I would imagine that most aluminum moderators exhibit this problem to some extent.  Aluminum is an excellent transmitter of sound energy.
-------------

Interestingly,  after I read about the Sarissa moderator on this (And MrBulk's newest) threads,  I went to their site and did some reading.  They actually have a section that talks about shroud dampening, and how raw metal can ping.  (And yet they make their own housings out of aluminum, go figure..)
They also state that "escape holes" in both moderators and shrouds are actually a bad idea,  doing either nothing or even actually increasing volume.  Evidently they've done a lot of testing on this.   VERY interesting, to say the least.   This actually jives with something a respected online guy said about the Hatsan shrouds:  He found that, after adding a short moderator like the Tatsu, the gun was quieter if the shroud's hole was blocked.  (Personally I found no difference, but I use a Shogun.)

When I wrapped my Shogun with duct tape, I left its holes open, but now I'm gonna' try it with tape over them.
