Episode 254 - Dead Air Wolfman Testing and MP5 Performance Research (09-APR-2025)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.182 – the Dead Air Wolfman on the HK SP5 – in both long and short configurations. Prolific (and also misunderstood) submachine gun silencer. Let’s dive into the technical discussion of the data and analysis published last week.

    a. Introduction (00:07:46)

    b. Physical Characteristics (00:17:31)

    c. Technical Performance – Long Configuration (00:27:10)

    d. Technical Performance – Short Configuration (00:44:04)

    e. MP5 Suppression Performance Comparisons (00:51:09)

  2. Pending Member ResearchMP5 suppression. The Quietest 9mm Subgun Silencers. We all know and love the MP5 platform. It is, perhaps, one of the most famous and refined subgun silencer hosts that we have in small arms. So, which silencers help it to perform at its greatest potential? Which have the best signature reduction and tone? Ongoing in-depth signature research that will be delivered exclusively to PEW Science Members. Thank you for your support! (00:58:35)

Episode 253 - Dead Air Wolfman Testing, Echo Zulu Defense, OSU, and PEW Anniversary (02-APR-2025)

Today’s Topics:

  1. The Silencer Sound Standard is now 5 years old! Thank you for supporting PEW Science all of these years and helping make this the industry standard for silencer sound suppression performance. (00:09:05)

  2. Big thanks to Oklahoma State University! Engineering faculty and students attended our seminar last week – a very welcoming group of people who are learning about fire, explosions, and protecting the public! A great degree program for folks that are interested. (00:30:06)

  3. Sound Signature Review 6.181 – the Echo Zulu Defense X1R556-Ti on the 5.56 standard untuned mid-gas 14.5-in barrel M4A1. Another hybrid design. Let’s dig into the technical talk for this report published last week. (00:42:45)

  4. Sound Signature Review 6.182 – the Dead Air Wolfman on the HK SP5 – in both long and short configurations. Prolific submachine gun silencer? Absolutely. Misunderstood? Clearly. Let’s do a quick introduction to this technical report published concurrently with this episode. (01:28:29)
