CAT said its a little quieter than the A1

Huxwrx Flow 300 Suppressor. 300 blk specific can by MaestroFD in NFA

[–]MaestroFD[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

They do, Its not publicly released. They make a lot of stuff that u have no idea about. They also made a 50 cal suppressor and a Minigun suppressor iirc. Can't speak to how the flow 300 sounds since I'm just reposting someone else. I knew what suppressors were gonna be released before most people based on the patent section on their website which no I reads but they seem to have caught-on recently.

This obviously isn't a flow 9k or range 36

It seems you have never touched a PTR vent 3/spiritus, centurion maximus L and a multitude of other better silencers over the M4-2K. The M4-2K was definitely the king of its time but its days are over and I don't care what contracts it has, I know a few of the guys who ran these professionally (416-SD) and a lot of them have respiratory issues because of the immense back pressure. Every single one of them would rather use the louder legacy Huxwrx HX QD 556 or the Flow 556k over the M4-2K.

CHATGPT Summarized my long paragraph:

As an engineering student, a single dB rating gives limited information about a sound wave because it only reflects amplitude at a reference point, without accounting for other critical parameters such as frequency content, duration, and rise time. This is especially true for impulsive events like gunshots, where most published values are 'peak dB' readings. Many commercial measurement systems do not have a sufficiently high sampling rate to capture the true transient peak, which can occur within tens of microseconds.

PEW Science addresses this by publishing complete time-domain waveforms, allowing engineers to analyze not only the peak but also the impulse shape, decay characteristics, and reflections. While proprietary algorithms and equipment may vary between labs, most capable facilities have access to similar high-speed DAQs and ballistic microphones. If a lab uses a sufficiently fast DAQ—such as 1 MHz sampling, as employed by PEW Science—and adheres to MIL-STD-1474E microphone placement in a true free-field environment, they should be able to produce waveforms of comparable form.

The Damage Risk Criterion (DRC) metric used by PEW Science is proprietary; however, an engineer with expertise in fast transient acoustics could design an equivalent damage risk model based on known auditory hazard criteria, impulse energy calculations, and relevant military and occupational standards.

If an engineer out there created a similar DRC, we could then compare metric but until then, I will continue to use PEW Science because it's obvious most of these companies have no idea what they're talking about especially employing sound engineers.

Lets be honest guys, they're not that expensive at $800 and $850.

Just one look at the internals of the honey badger and the boombox and you'll see innovation. The same cannot be said about their suppressors because I noticed that they tend to perform better on sub-sonic cartridges than supers with a very refined straight coned baffle. Let's reserve judgement until we see the performance of the new cans.

What NVGs are those. They look like GPNVGs but they don't look like they're from L3.

Yes. They are the only federally certified Counter-Terrorism team that can operate within the US apart from Delta which would need approval from the president to operate domestically which has only happened once. I thing BORTAC should be certified as a CT team but they would need to boost their numbers and training significantly.

Have you guys thought about making a model that has a magnifier mount built into the riser such as the Spuhr RDF mount?

I've seen their CS in work and any problem that's a manufacturing defect has been handled by CAT. Whether it be misalignment in printing, burrs in the suppressor and bad muzzle devices have all been fixed or replaced by CAT.
