Thread: A-tec CTM-4 suppressor. Report and effect of shooting with 1 2 3 or 4 baffles.

I tried it out hunting goats on Sunday and with 2 baffles it sounded very acceptable - felt like I could shoot it all day without plugs. I was using plugs when I tested it on the range. I suspect that just one baffle would be a bit loud.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get an objective reading of sound level at the range. I tried using a smartphone app but the mic tops out at 80dB. The best report I've seen is at FishnHunt - New Zealands Famous Hunting and Fishing Forum Since 1995 - DPT vs Hardy vs Gunworks Suppressor Review where mates stood behind and said what it sounded like without seeing which suppressor was used.

Here are two goats I shot at short range and the second one wasn't disturbed at all except his mate stopped eating and lay down on the job which he did wonder about for a few moments till I reloaded.


Here is one from quite long range (for me) so, allowing for the difference in MPI I knew about from shooting on paper, accuracy and trajectory seemed the same as without suppressor. No, I didn't shoot it in the dark - it just took me a while to get across the valley.
