What Suppressors Really Sound Like
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Shooting at various distances from the camera (www.rnrshootingclub.com) to overcome the problem of automatic volume control. We shoot a Sig MPX with a Silencerco Octane suppressor at 10, 30, 50 and 100 yards away from the camera microphone. Makes a big difference as you will hear.
It's definitely louder than movies and stuff have it at, but also definitely quieter than the unsuppressed shots; that's pretty crazy
Silencers appear to eliminate the echo
.
You mean in real life it doesn’t go “pssst”?
@@logicaldude3611 yeah exactly; movies make it sound way quieter lol
In a combat situation, I would have a hard time discerning the sound of the compressed shot from everyday white noise...I don’t think I’d last long

You look good rex..you have lost some weight! Noise reduction is a good thing for the ears especially in confined spaces.
Stephen, my reply went awry. So thanks again.
Thanks for pointing this out-- I think many videos here on youtube fail to account for their audio equipment "muting" the full effect of the gunshot sound, so viewers think guns don't sound so loud in real life!
Thanks much, Stephen. I’ve been going to the gym three days a week so I can enjoy my retirement years. It’s amazing to me that in great Britain with all their restrictive gun laws, suppressors can be purchased over-the-counter anywhere. In fact, it’s considered bad form to not use a silencer.
Rex, your videos are great & I particularly enjoy your presentation.
I think you may have the wrong impression regarding moderators as used in the UK. For any centrefire or rimfire rifle the owner has to apply for permission (from the police) to obtain & use a moderator (this is in addition to the authorisation required to buy the rifle in the first place). Yes moderators are readily available & there seems to be almost a limitless variation but they are controlled in the same way as a firearm is.
Also I don’t think you can say it’s considered ‘bad form’ not to use one. Certainly they are popular for shooting in certain areas to avoid disturbance & some landowners or syndicate managers (or employers) may insist on the use of one but such circumstances aside they are use at the shooters discretion without any negative attitude if not used. Frankly many shooters would not willingly inflict such an accessory on a fine rifle.
Muzzle-breaks are the item that’s considered ‘bad form’ by anyone near them!
I look forward to more of your videos.
Regards
Russell
@@Russell-1 Oh, this is really great information. Just goes to show how a "little learning is a dangerous thing." Thanks so much for setting the record straight. I guess most of my thinking was based on RUclips videos of a small number of varmint shooters and some British hunting magazines. From them, one gets the impression that almost every long arm in the UK has a suppressor (moderator, that is). Again, thank you for your thorough and thoughtful reply.
Some facts about suppressors, thank you for the education.
Thanks, I really wanted a comparison video to be done exactly the way you did it.
Thanks for the video. I live that you did different distances and explained why. You did a good job 😁
Well that is how a presentation should be done, well-thought-out. Thank you sir!
What a fantastic video. Bravo sir.
I love seeing smart people on RUclips, thank you very much for the information
I sure hope my wife stumbles across this comment. Very kind, thank you.
Great Video, Sir! Thank you! Here in Austria you can buy suppressors over the counter too, as long as you have a hunting permit. They are really good, not just for the hunter, but also for his dog and other people. The suppressed sound doesn’t disturb anybody...
I was wondering why anybody would want a gun silencer since they are so loud in real life.
I had not thought about hearing safety for the people (or dog) near the gun.
2:16 I died with laughter at the accuracy and facial expression given here
Great example! Love it!
Very well done and explained! 😃
thanks for the video, this answered the questions i had perfectly!
Very well done!
great video guy!
Thank you... very enlightening.
Beautiful range..
it is.
Thanks for this video I wanted to know how it sounds before I try it on someone!
Great video. My biggest question on suppressors is how effective they are at 200 yards and beyond, and your video gave me a good idea
Great video, thanks
Thanks much. It was a beautiful day and so much fun.
I'm assuming that was supersonic for both. Thank you for the video god bless.
hey rex will you ever post more videos and if so can you do one on a 17 HMR and a Barrett 50 cal.
Bro where can I got to a range like yours. I would be in heaven if I can have that type of open range for shooting practice.
Hey Rex. It sounded like a BB gun pretty much with the suppressor installed. But I was surprised to hear anything from you at the berm. I guess that was echo back from the berm itself? Humm, hard to know for sure. So on a different note. check your camera and you might be able to disable the "Volume Gain Control" feature.... not that they call it "AGC" or "VGC" but it's something similar and it's probably just be a feature that you can enable/disable thru the setup screen. Oh ... nice gun BTW .... reminds me of my Keltec PL-16 ... Have a nice day.!
You must have shot some loud-ass BB guns then.
True.
Interesting.
Still distinctly sounds like a fun shot
Yas. The sound of fun. Ahhhhhhh....
@@RexRoach yes me and my fat American fingers. Lol I meant to type Gun shot. Fun shot sounds too much like a money shot
Still the camera that you are using is limiting the sound as the sound is being recorded. Most modern cameras are NOT build to record loud sounds. They have build in software that will "limit" as we say in audio engineering - or in other words, heavily ... HEAVILY lower the sound of something if that something is above a certain loudness threshold...
Unless you buy equipment that are tuned in for recording loud things, you will never get this right! But still, this video is maybe the best one on the internet right now.
Edit: As I saw you also are adressing this issue in the video! A very cheep fix for recording a sound withought it being limited by the build in audio compressor (or limiter) of the modern day camera - is recording the sound with a DAW. A "DAW" is a "digital audio workstation", like Cubase, or Ableton or FL Studio and the rest... These systems will record RAW sound, and they will not limit them or compress them unless you want them to.
So basically you can strap a mic on a laptop (make sure that the mic itself isn't limiting the sound... (a cheep mic won't...) and then record the sound with a DAW!
FYI i watch You Tube using a pair of high end Studio Headphones and i thought your demonstration captured the Sound very realistically i was raised around many Guns and Calibers growing upin the SouthEast United States that is still a very Pro Gun State and i personally did a LegalConcealed Carry for many years i did experiment at times with Supressors that a Aqquantance who had a Gun and Ammunition liscense and a retail Store often brought a variety of products and Accessories to the Range we would go together to
Thanks, Craig. I still want to do the recording with equipment that has no automatic gain control, but this was my best compromise.
@@RexRoach Yes, I would love that!
1:12 start of shooting
.
I always wondered why they came with these sounds instead of using actual suppressed guns sounds
This guy's voice sounds nicer than a suppressed subsonic
Someone needs to do this in decibels.
Nah man
Can you please make more reloading videos, i really love them and a am not alone Greetings from Norway
You are both kind and encouraging. I must do better.
Keep in mind that suppressed weapons are a lot louder than the iphone's mic perceives it.
i see, yeah hollywood... if i was a fighter and i hear that... i be like, that sounds odd.
he rox
Michael Keaton?
So why is the ATF and other agencies making a big stink about suppressors.? Based on your video and others it’s still makes noise! Thanks the video was great
Emotion over logic, I suppose. In England, where guns are almost impossible to own, suppressors are encouraged by Her Majesty's Government. Required for some hunting, or so I've been led to believe. Even so, they are subject to the same Draconian restrictions as firearms.
What range are you shooting at near Opelika?
That range is in Geneva, AL. It's R&R Shooting Club. Info at www.rnrshootingclub.com
@@RexRoach Thank you.
Those dam Hollywood liars!
At 100 yards it sounds like a BB gun going off
It puzzles me how restricted suppressors are in the US, here in Norway there are no regulations on suppressors at all, they can be purchased by anyone, regardless of age or criminal record
I think it's a similar situation in the UK where guns are heavily regulated and suppressors not so much. My pediatrician friend just bought his first suppressor and said he's now going through the "gestation period" of 9 months waiting for the blessed event.
@@RexRoach I believe they are somewhat restricted in the UK, my neighbouring Sweden is also quite restrictive, but way more lenient on semi automatic rifles. In Norway semi auto rifles are getting increasingly difficult to obtain. Certain rifles like AR and AK pattern are only available for competition shooters and it takes years to obtain them for a first time applicants.
@@RexRoach i didn’t know you had to wait.you just taught me something thanks.
He sounds like the most stereotypical texan
lol
Whoever disliked this shame on you 😤😢
I thought having a silencer is like 50 years FED time #privilege
Now what I wanna know is where the hell did Hollywood come up with that stupid "joop!" Sound
That's a really good point. There are any number of things that happen in movies where the sound is totally wrong. One of my favorites is the "thummmmb" sound you hear when lights are switched on in a large room.
