On the docket for tomorrow.
Items for testing:
Sig Canebrake Rattler (5.5”)
AR pistol (8.5”)
Composite IIIA
Larson Davis LXT sound meter
Chrono (for close shoot through)
LabRadar (for distance)
20% gel block
Stinger rifle rest
And the most important part: two 1.5” barrel extensions….
Some background, I previously tested:
8.5 versus 16” blackout barrels.
And the controlled chaos
And suppressed sound levels subsonic
And barriers with subsonic (3” gel then slanted steel then additional gel)
But when I got my Canebrake Rattler I was disappointed. I tested the 110 TTSX and it didn’t penetrate IIIA.
I know the 8.5” does penetrate…
So somewhere in between the 5.5” and 8.5” is the sweet spot for me.
When testing my MPX, I was getting 30 fps with just a threaded extension and @Mike C says he has seen 30 fps from a suppressor, I thought I would see if a couple inexpensive threaded barrel extensions could make the Rattler into the coveted 6.75” or 8.5” that aren’t easily available for purchase right now.
That’s the point of my testing tomorrow. How much velocity can I pick up with extensions and will that be enough to get the penetration I’m looking for.
As always, comments welcome and testing requests welcome.
