Not sure what to weigh in on. It seems like an article going over the technical specs of this silencer.
remember that decibels are logarmathic. Where a change of 10 is either doubling or halving the volume. So a 140 db gun going to 130 is a big change, but it's still loud AF.
Me personally I will shoot a silenced gun outside without ear pro for maybe 5 shots. Anymore and I am back to doubled up ears. Inside I am also wearing ears. Pretty much no matter the caliber. I have seen some videos on 22s and some Russian guns that get pretty dang quiet where ear pro isnt claimed to be needed. But at some point the action of the shot, like the bolt slamming into something, cant be silenced and will be the loudest sound. Wont sound like a gun shot, but will 100% give your position away unlike a Bond movie. Or even Jihn Wick, one of the fee things they get wrong in those movies imo is what silencers are capable of.
Most silencers work to make it hearing safe, not "slienced". Also you probably should be ammo that isnt hypersonic if you want to run a "silenced" platform. The sonic boom is very hard to absorb.
