The Ultimate DonnyFL Airgun Suppressor Test: Braaaaaaap!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- So I have been using DonnyFL suppressors on all my airguns for years now with great success. The sound suppression is second to none, but yet I often get questions about true sound reduction and people asking me to do decibel testing.
Quite honestly I have avoided doing this kind of test because it is actually pretty misleading with a DonnyFL or any other airgun suppressor or moderator. Unless you are in a super controlled environment and using insanely sensitive equipment, your results won't be replicable.
Furthermore, there is so much more that goes into suppressing an airgun in that the tone it makes can often be just as important as the actual sound reduction. The airgun internals can also make a huge difference in the report. For instance, I was on a hunt recently where one of the guys I was with was shooting an AEA suppressed with a DonnyFL suppressor and there was a crazy amount of hammer spring "twang" I could hear. That kind of sound can not be suppressed at the muzzle with a suppressor.
But I had this idea.... What if we could create a constant sound profile that could be tested over a long period of seconds vs. just a single shot cycle measured in fractions of a second. This would give a more definitive test of the sound reduction capabilities of a DonnyFL Suppressor.
As a side hobby, my brother and I like to hot rod small engines to see how hard and fast we can push them. In this test, we welded a DonnyFl Ronin Airgun Suppressor to the exhaust of race spec go-kart and minibike engines to see what kind of results we would get over a 10 second sound measurement with a iPhone App Decibel Meter. The results were actually shocking.
If you were impressed with the craftsmanship of the welds in this video, PM me for residential, commercial, and automotive welding jobs. I would love to earn your business.
You just opened a new market for Donny good dill.
Great video, but I would trust duct tape before I’d trust your welds. Maybe even masking tape. lol
Bubble gum has more holding strength than my welds! Thanks for watching!
The Fab Police have a warrant out for his arrest now in all 50 states. Ha... am sure I did some stuff like that at one point, just lucky enough I didn't get it on video.
@@turboryan Ya I have a tendency of publicly shaming myself and it motivates me to do better. Plus it was funny as hell how bad those welds turned out.
@@UpNorthAirGunner well like always it was a great video. Wire feed adjustment and and clear view of the puddle is all you need. But I also know an other extremely talented welder that developed Lukemia over his career so sometimes the skill isn't worth it anyway.
I was about to say "Hmmm, you're talented, I wish I could weld" but turns out YOU CAN'T EITHER 😂😂
Great vid!!
if your settings/amps are fucked then it's impossible to weld nice
This is so much needed... you will see what I mean when I release my next video
So ready for mine, ordering it next month for my .457 Texan
You are going to LOVE IT! Perfect for the Texans!
I need one for mine too
it does not make it very quiet .the emperor
Comparing this to AirGandhi’s approach to testing DonnyFL moderators’ sound reduction capabilities: perfectly illustrates the difference between rational German stereotype and the American why-the-hell-not-McGyver-it stereotype. 😂 Very informative _and_ entertaining!
They make these things called mufflers, and you can send me any DonnyFL silencers you think you need to destroy.
What's up Chris!👊🏿 Love your videos Bro! Keep up the great work!👍🏿😁
This is the coolest thing iv ever seen
Lmao! Really???
Man it would be nuts if donny made one for your pbba pro 20!
God I love the idea of that gun such a cool design!, and works for so many diffrent things
Love it! I had a riding lawnmower my dad gave me as a kid.I took the mowing deck off it and made a go kart.I did opposite and pulled the muffler off and braised a chrome looking sink drain on it to make it louder.Really looked cool too.Pissed the nieghbors off. I lost control of it in the snow and knocked old man's cinder block fence down and my dad wouldnt let me ride it in the hood any longer :)
Yes Christopher they're the best ..but..I needed one for the Challenger!
Great video !
Just think how quiet it could be if you had two or three suppressors . Definitely some interesting welds reminds me when I started welding.
Only a fellow Michigander can come up with something this cool ! And if your neighbors complain about that , you need to move over here near me ! Who in the hells uses mufflers any more . Have you ever heard a 1966 Harley Davidson sportster with shorty headers ? At 6:00 am ...music to my ears ! Keep up the good work bud !
Damn.. those welds almost made me puke lol..
LOL! Like I said.... Dog poop welds. More like diarrhea poop. Thanks for watching!
@@UpNorthAirGunner lol just giving you a hard time... How many shots roughly are you getting on the M3 .22 shooting slugs..??
@@chipsammich2078 The jab was well deserved! My welding skillz SUCK! It depends with the M3 and what power and slug size I am shooting at. I can get through a magazine or two, but when you crank it up to 175 bar and shoot 34 grain slugs - you burn air quickly. The new 300 bar bottles will be a great upgrade once they come out.
@@UpNorthAirGunner I'm still waiting for my .22 barrel kit and slug liner so just trying to suck up as much knowledge I can in the mean time.. Whats been your most consistent .22 slug at 150+ yrds
OK, we KNOW you're not a welder - but the goal was to test the noise reduction capabilities of the Donnyfl moderator and THAT was well accomplished - THANK YOU!
I kinda liked the electric orange color the heat caused. I would definitely put an electric blue Koi on my Impact. Possibly some new colors for our rigs?!
Great vid! I have a Tatsu on my pcp airgun and it works well. Who would of thought they work better as an exhaust, lol. Thanks for showing us what these can really do!
Love the airgun deployment atv unit!
Great video, interesting welds
I have coined that welding technique as walking the dog poop.
That's so awesome!
This is awesome 😁
The best, DonnyFL! 🇵🇹💪😎 I have the Sumo for 22 Cal and the Emperor for 35 Cal on my Impact M3 💪❤️🇵🇹
Just go man!
One hell of an expensive muffler🥴🤣😂. Very cool. I have the same bike I just picked up ridden 2Xs for 220$. Does maybe 20 MPH tops🤷♂️. Grandkids love it. Took the back tire pressure down to about 4-5 pounds and made it a lot easier on my lower back💯. Would have been cool if they would have put suspension on the back of the bike like they did on the front👍. Very cool video bud…thank you.
This one goes 40 MPH with all the mods we did. Crazy fast and sketchy on a minibike!
@@UpNorthAirGunner you must have removed the gear reduction system and chained it directly to the centrifugal clutch?
@@heathhalfhill6867 watch the video again.... that section that shows all the parts. We totally gutted the engine and put in all new billet racing parts. The governor was first to go! 😀😀😀. Plus we installed a CVT torque converter instead of the friction clutch.
Hi Chris just come across your channel great videos mate , I see you shoot the impact I am getting a M3
But not sure what to get .22 or 25 using for small game and long range target up to say 200 yards
Any advice would be much appreciated keep up the great content
Thank you..
I am a huge fan of the .22 cal now due to the higher BC for slugs and we are now pushing these 80-100 FPE with the new 800mm barrel kit that should be coming out soon.
@@UpNorthAirGunner Hi Chris thanks for getting back iam definitely swaying towards the .22 as there definitely more choice in pellets and slugs for sure especially in the uk and like you say getting
80 - 100 FPE is awesome..
@@UpNorthAirGunner Hi Chris hope everything going good your end , Well had great news today
Got my FAC licence so next step FX M3 I know you are loving the .22 calibre now from your video
I was thinking of .25 but now with seeing your results.22 is great and more choice of pellets and slugs especially in the uk do you know when the 800 mm barrel are coming out?
Thanks for any help keep up the great content..
Dont you have that 12 ft lb law in the uk. What a shame.
@@SpYucaipaSoCal Just waiting on my FAC mate so sub 12 don’t apply to me ..
Absolutely fantastic 🤣👏👏👏
Look at that thing glow looks like it going to melt. Funny idea. And Donny stand by his word and is a great suppressor dealer to buy from. there also muffler out there that will quit them down and for cheaper. A cool test would be to get a license and test it on a fire arm to see what the difference would be. you might have to replace felt with scotch Brite but it would be a cool test.🤔👍👌✌️🎯🏍️💯🥂
Thanks for watching! It isn't glowing, it just discolored the anodizing. It is permanently orange now. When I first saw it, I thought it was glowing red hot too. This was just a fun and funny test to see how quiet a DonnyFL actually is. 20 dB reduction from a non-mufflered exhaust is HUGE!
Should of wrap steel wool in place of the felt , it bring the db down even more .
Mini bike scene. Lmao!
Just when I thought I had seen it all.......🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
😂😂😂 You’re welcome.
Lol. Too funny. And effective
The emperor V3 is well worth the money
Does not make sense to me, the donnyfl is just a smaller hole you can ad any smaller pipe and it will be quiter... The working of a supressor is reducing the pressure on the air that leaves the barrel and let it expand before it leaves the silencer. For that reason volume is key !
#1 This was a joke! #2 Watch the entire video where I test it with the adapter welded in with a without the Suppressor. A SIGNIFICANT reduction!
@@UpNorthAirGunner Please stop calling that welding dude, i'm a welder... ;-)
Those welds! Lol
~Glock
Follow me for more amazing craftsmanship! Wait till you see my episode wiring a 220v circuit for my Alkin Compressor and almost burning my house down. LOL! #NotATradesMan
@@UpNorthAirGunner holy biscuits.
Kool
Wouldn't a motorcycle muffler/spark arrestor make more sense than ruining a Donny FL?
Yes it would.... Ya might have missed the part where I said this was a test of the sound reduction, 😂😂😂
Hopefully you didn’t stick with that when I saw a red glow oh I thought it was fire.
That isn’t a red glow from heat. The black anodization turned Orange. It stayed that way even after it cooled.
damn what solder was that?!!!! 🤪🤪🤪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It isn't the solder that is the issue.... Its the noobie operator. LOL!
This is epic 🤣
LOL! Thanks for watching!
Except for the lack of a SPARK ARRESTER!
I can put spark arrestor material in the extender can.
🤣🤣🤣👍
Totally restricted as well that alone would make it quieter and less power
Nope. Did you watch the video to the very end where I tested it without the suppressor and with? 20 dB reduction. Furthermore, these engines come bone stock with a much more restrictive lawn mower style box muffler on them. Even with the adapter welded in, this set up breathes better than original configuration.
@@UpNorthAirGunner Unless you test the back pressure between the stock muffler and the Donnie FL, you wouldn't know.
@@dangerous8333 Sure but the test with the straight pipe vs. the suppressor took the pipe size variable out of the equation to show the effectiveness. The entire purpose of this test....
@@UpNorthAirGunner If only people would watch…all the way through. And also pay attn!
I wasted 120$ (110€) on one of these moderator and I really disapointed it because apart from its light weight there aren't many significant differences in sound attenuation with a tcheap moderator that I own and that m cost $ 40. this craze for these donnyfl silencers is completely incomprehensible to me. it's just a fad

😂 try turning your wire speed down
That actually worked! I had to re-weld it (shocker).
@@UpNorthAirGunner I will weld or braze it for you. Only thing is I live in Northern Kentucky.
Worst mod we have tried , but we are lucky in the uk , we have far better ones . One of the best is weihrauch
Sure. Thanks for watching!
Lol
