In Ti durability is a function of heat. Keep the suppressor under 800 degs and it basically last much longer than barrels.

Shooters ear reduction is 20Db +/-.

Lot's of quieter suppressors, none even close on size of weight.

Dumb question John, isn’t the point of a suppressor, to reduce noise? Size and weight are moot if it doesn’t reduce decibels to the point it’s safe to shoot sans hearing protection? Why bother otherwise. The threads on long range hunting all have the same comments, that it doesn’t reduce noise enough to negate the use of protection.
