Still time to get into a new hunting suppressor for some late season, or feral hog/vermin work!

Nice overview of some new models out this year...

The mask 22 sounds gimmicky with using the wet/dry debate, but what happens if you want to shoot it wet? Does it drop even more db's or is it just hype?

Shooting "wet" historically mitigates first round pop and lowers overall decibel level.

Correct, but I was referring to the "Mask 22" suppressor. They claim that it's a "dry can" that is as quiet as a wet can. I'm assuming they are saying they want you to shoot it dry. Which is why I said it sounded gimmicky. Why not just advertise that it has a much lower decibel reading both dry and wet?

Ah... Sorry. Good question. I have no direct experience with them. Maybe one of our SOT's can shed some light for us.

My guess is the statment is directed towards some of the louder 22 cans that benefit from being fired wet. Many newer 22 cans don't seem to drop levels any appreciable amount when fired wet, other than perhaps a reduction in first round pop. I watched a video where a sparrow was metered both wet and dry, and the only difference was the FRP level. Those results mirror what I've experienced first hand firing a sparrow wet. Really coudn't hear much difference.

adding water to a can really only shows how good or bad the design is.

If adding water lowers the DB level significantly, all it is really showing is that there is room to improve the baffle design and efficiency of the can.

If the difference is negligible, all it means is that the can has a highly efficient design.

Net/net in today's market.. ablative should not be something that is required for the suppressor to reach it's maximum sound reduction.

Seems legit. Thanks!
