SSS.6.139 - AAC M4-2000 Mod 08 and the MK18 5.56x45mm Short Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The legacy AAC M4-2000 Mod 08 is a full size 5.56mm machine gun rated rifle silencer that exhibits high sound suppression performance and is competitive with modern designs.  The silencer exhibits a high degree of durability, as well as high back pressure.  It is important to note that there have been several design iterations of M4-2000 rifle silencers through the history of the original Advanced Armament Corporation.

In this review, the AAC M4-2000 Mod 08 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a short barrel gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the AAC M4-2000 Mod 08 perform on your AR15 short barrel rifle?

SSS.6.118 - AAC Ti-RANT 9M-HD, 9M, 9 and the HK P30L (Free Version)

The AAC Ti-RANT 9M-HD is preceded in development, design, and distribution by two legacy models; the AAC Ti-RANT 9M (2017) and the original AAC Ti-RANT 9 (circa 2009). At the time of distribution, the original Ti-RANT 9 was colloquially referred to as the “quietest 9mm centerfire pistol silencer” available. The publication of this case study in the Silencer Sound Standard research pedigree, by PEW Science, is intended to recognize the historical significance of the Ti-RANT 9 family of silencers and to provide a state-of-the-art performance evaluation of the models on a modern host firearm.

In this review, all AAC Ti-RANT 9 variant performance metrics depend upon suppressing a full-size handgun firing a full-power subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge. How would any AAC Ti-RANT 9 silencer perform on your self-defense handgun?
