Ok. This thread has broken me down. I will have something quite titillating to share in a couple weeks.
Let's just say a new KAC 11.5" CQB rifle, TR24 and some cerakote is involved... |

20 rounders or 30 rounders? With a 20 round straight PMAG mine almost looks like a mini mk12 (with rail covers on). Didn't know if we set a mag standard. |

AAC Mini 4 with a Griffon HMMS over it. how do you like it? is it hearing safe? have you shot it next to any other suppressors? The Mini 4 is easily my favorite 5.56 can. And I've used a ton of different 5.56 cans from AAC, SureFire, KAC and Gemtech. The Mini 4 performs really well on 14.5" rifles with longer gas systems (mid, intermediate, etc). AAC has reported getting M4-2000 levels of dB reduction at times with Mini 4s on those types of configurations. Yet it's half the size of an M4-2000. I run my Mini 4s primarily on my 14.5" and 11.5" rifles. I find them to be no hearing pro safe on both of those barrel lengths. |

Picked up a Leupold Mark AR today in an ADM mount. I guess I now have a MINI RECCE. Got my 50 yard zero, and I was pretty happy with how the ZQ1 M855 I used grouped. Hoping to get out to 100 yards and see what kind of groups I can post up with this rifle and optic combo. It's not a bench gun, but I'm sure I can tighten up my groups compared to irons.
 Colt LE6920 with pinned 14.5" SOCOM barrel. Oh, hi. Can I play?  |

AAC Mini 4 with a Griffon HMMS over it. how do you like it? is it hearing safe? have you shot it next to any other suppressors? I guess me and several people I know are deaf then. In fairness, I wouldn't advocate running a suppressed 5.56 AR without ear pro just because. It certainly won't be good on the ears over time. But I have fired suppressed 5.56 ARs without ear pro on occasion to test the waters. Those configurations I recently mentioned on the previous page with an AAC Mini 4 for instance, I've even fired them with buddies on each side of me who weren't wearing ear pro who wanted to see how it was. Perfectly fine for them. Wasn't quiet by any means, but they both had "whatever" reactions to the experience. And the shooter is even less exposed to the dBs. And full sized 5.56 cans obviously perform even better than the Mini 4 I'm referencing here. Plenty of people find suppressed 5.56 rifles very no ear pro safe in moderation. Even my LMT MWSE 16" 308 with an AAC SDN-6 is no ear pro safe in moderation. As always, to each their own... |

Permanent hearing damage can occur at around 100db. No silencer can suppress a supersonic round to that level.
Hearing damage doesn't mean a person is suddenly deaf, it means the ability to detect certain frequencies or volumes has degraded. You can look directly at the sun a few moments at a time and not go blind, doesn't mean that's vision safe. |

I understand all of that.
I'm simply pointing out that many suppressors can yield a 5.56 rifle hearing safe when needed. As I earlier said, I would not advocate shooting suppressed 5.56 rifles without ear pro just because. But as also earlier said, in moderation, a suppressed 5.56 can be hearing safe. I've been around suppressed 5.56 rifles without ear pro on more than a few occasions. I've never experienced any abnormal discomfort from it. I know several others with the same experiences. Another as already said...to each their own. For me, suppressors are worth their weight in gold, and I'm a huge advocate for their benefits and uses in general. |

It's basically not about if you feel discomfort or not.. it is literally damaging your hearing no matter what kind of pain or not pain you are feeling in the moment. Hearing loss does not being at physical discomfort. |

It's basically not about if you feel discomfort or not.. it is literally damaging your hearing no matter what kind of pain or not pain you are feeling in the moment. Hearing loss does not being at physical discomfort. I get the feeling that my point has been entirely missed by both of you. His staring at the sun comment is the perfect analogy here. Many people look directly at the sun without glasses fairly often. Is their vision slightly effected by it over time? Yes. Are they instantly or painfully being effected by glancing directly at the sun though? In moderation, I'd say no. I see no reason to just freely shoot suppressed 5.56 rifles without ear pro. In fact, as I'm now going to say for the third time, I would recommend against it. But shooting a suppressed 5.56 is like staring directly at the sun. It's not gonna cause pain, blind or deafen you quickly. In fact, it's the exact opposite. And when it comes to suppressors, unlike staring directly at the sun, there are scenarios that can arise where you will actually find yourself needing to use them without ear pro for a practical or even life threatening scenario. And in that scenario, you're gonna be damn glad that you have a suppressor when you are using that rifle without ear pro. I'm frankly shocked that I have even needed to justify this topic to this extent. |

AR-Ryan, my original question about "hearing safe" should have been worded better and maybe we wouldn't have had the unnecessary back and forth with these guys, sorry! Your response was spot on with what I was wondering. As in, is it still so loud as to cause discomfort without ear pro? We all know hearing damage occurs at much lower db than discomfort and you should always wear ear pro when shooting suppressed or not.
Someone get this thread back on track.... |

I'll say this: Having shot several hundred rounds through my AEM5 on my Mod1 in open areas, it's still loud enough that I want earpro on. I think in a combat situation I could deal with it, but plinking around, I'm wearing earpro. And that's an 18" barrel, mind you. I used the can on my carbine for a few rounds but I used earpro and see no good reason not to. And that can has more volume than some of these little shorties you guys are using, so there's that. YMMV and all that.

You can look directly at the sun a few moments at a time and not go blind, doesn't mean that's vision safe. I'll say this: Having shot several hundred rounds through my AEM5 on my Mod1 in open areas, it's still loud enough that I want earpro on. I think in a combat situation I could deal with it, but plinking around, I'm wearing earpro. And that's an 18" barrel, mind you. I used the can on my carbine for a few rounds but I used earpro and see no good reason not to. And that can has more volume than some of these little shorties you guys are using, so there's that. YMMV and all that. Wow when I got to try out my aem5 I found it comfortable with no ear pro. Then again my hearing is pretty terrible. Says the Army. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By plante74:

Just because shooting with certain cans with certain set ups & ammo might feel comfortable that doesn't mean hearing damage isn't occuring. There is still supersonic crack with 5.56 when using a can. Always wear ear pro with or withour a can. Suppressors suppress some sound & muzzle flash & mask your pos but aren't meant to save all of your hearing. |

A little harder hitting "mini recce" than average.
12.5" 6.8SPC noveske with all the usual goodies. Just need to trade out the SD3G trigger for an SD-E and it'll be perfect. |
