This guy knows his stuff, I have met him and tested and fielded his gear it works every bit as good as he says the .308 sounds like a pellet gun. We have used his gear exclusively since 04 we have had zero breakages that stuff is alot tougher than you think and we are hard on stuff. The Man is a genus and has tone of real world experancence

SpudGun,

Even db numbers don’t mean anything. It’s like dyno numbers on engines, they are bull for absolute numbers, only for comparison data.

However, for comparison data they work well. To get a real number you need to compare two or more products at the same time.

It would be possible to meter a suppressor at sea level on a rainy day in the summer, and another indoors across the country and you could get completely different results. THAT, and mfgs LIE.

There is a site that offers reviews, however I’m getting more and more skeptical the guy is impartial so I will not list his site here.

I can’t imagine this method can hold the suppressor anywhere near the same tolerance as directly to the muzzle.

The latest suppressors have been getting quieter because they have a tighter bore. Without baffle strikes I would think this method would almost have to be louder than attaching to the muzzle. Not to mention the likely hood of gas escaping between the muzzle and can without a threaded mount.

And for what? No poi shift? My .308 suppressed is a .5MOA shift, it’s not a big real world deal. The better rifle cans now have indexing and adjustment just for POI shift, or are so light it doesn’t matter, they are way cheaper than this, and they can still be used on all your rifles.

Unless this thing metered in the high 120dbs / low 130dbs, I’ll stick with a normal can.

Seems quite effective, although i don’t like carbon fiber on anything I’d use in battle. When i used to play paintball i spent good money on a very light-weight carbon fiber barrel. Half way through a match I face planted and snapped the end of my brand new barrel off. Carbon Fiber is a great way to save weight, and look trendy, but in my experience it doesn’t have a place around barrels. I do like the design of this suppressor, although I’d be a little worried about a piston driven AR interfering with that barrel shroud, but maybe they thought of that I don’t know.

I do wish that surpressor manufacturers would put up some sort of decibel info when describing their new products. No offence, but with a You Tube video, even unsurpressed weapons don’t sound that loud.

I’m sure the A.R.I.E.S. is a great system, but I have no idea how well it eleminates noise or how it compares to other surperessors.
