Hey guys,
Over the years, I have seen lots of people make casual mentions of how some specific guns are much louder or quieter than each other, depending on the model.
For example, I have seen a lot of people say that the absolute loudest gun they've ever shot was some specific model of Mosin-Nagant. I have also seen various other specific guns be touted as being abnormally loud/quiet compared to various comparable firearms, etc.
So, what I was wondering is, does anyone know of any actual lists of different specific models of firearm being tested with an actual electronic decibel-meter device, to see exactly how loud various different specific guns actually are, with their actual decibel measurement numbers listed so you can see how various different gun models compare to each other in terms of loudness?
I have already seen a bunch of those generic lists where they list "typical" decibel levels of various objects, like a balloon popping, a jet engine at takeoff, a "gun" firing (they often don't even specify what type of gun let alone specific model), a space shuttle lifting off, etc etc, but, that's not what I'm asking about here.
Rather, I am asking if any of you have ever seen a list where it was strictly just various specific types/models of firearms being tested, and the decibel measurements of each being listed, so you could compare how loud the various different guns are compared to each other.
And, if such a thing does not exist, then, perhaps my best bet might be something along the lines of, if there was ever a thread or article somewhere about people trying to fabricate various custom suppressors for various guns, and maybe they tested them out to see how quiet they could get it, something like that might have the before-and-after decibel measurements for various types of guns?
But, like I said, the best would be if there's just a straight up comparison of non-suppressed various models of guns compared to each other just for the sake of seeing which ones are the loudest/quietest, if such a thing exists. Anyone know? thanks
