Thread: Suppressor Recoil Reduction Testing???

Kiwi Gregs test is flawed in that it measures total work rather than peak force which is what needs to be measured.

It is the same if I made you sit on a skateboard on a flat surface and then kicked you as hard in the back as I could, measured how far you rolled and then reset the test, but this time gently pushed you to the same mark, I then deduced that it is just as unpleasant to be pushed gently as kicked as we moved the same distance.

I agree the sled test isn't the best way to show it, but if you put a decent brake on a rifle & a suppressor on the same rifle I can guarantee you the recoil difference will surprise you

Make it a light 338 shooting 300s & its a complete no brainer, or even a 300 Wsm etc shooting 200-230s
