Does anyone have any media of the FTN.4 or decibel readings? I’m curious about the suppression levels of the full size suppressors.

    I’ve never heard of legit decibel readings for the ftn cans (or any 3dp can I know of lol). The problem is getting ahold of a decibel meter that can measure quick enough pressure impulses, and they are thousands of dollars. Phone microphones just don’t respond fast enough to the microseconds long pressure waves of a gun shot. Would be amazing to develop some sort of diy way to just ballpark it though - maybe some bursting pressure caps of increasing toughness… can’t be that hard considering the big magnitude difference in pressure between even eg 130 and 136 db
