Thread: Gunworks modular Stacker suppressor review

Suppressors work by slowing down the escape of gas and a brake allows faster gas escape so the duration of sound is shorter with the brake on meaning a lower reading on the meter as more of the shot won't be captured.
Kit that can measure gunshots impulse is seriously expensive.

I would give your subjective impression of noise levels more credit than the numbers provided. For example, what's your impression is the bolt cycling louder than the shots with more than three baffles? (I'm being facetious to prove a point; of course it's not).

I wouldn't bother measuring an unsuppressed shot, suffice to say I bet it will be considerably louder.

Dean Maisey has a good write up on this matter: https://www.kaimairiflesuppressors.c...il-std-1474-d/

fair call, I will do the un-suppressed shot anyway. I can say with confidence that the new stacker is every bit as effective and well made as any of gunworks products.
A lot of time and effort has gone into designing and making improvements, happy to demonstrate if anyone wants to do a side by side comparison.
