I understand why you might think that based on all my other acomplishments, but no.

I did invent the first 4 oz effective centerfire suppressor, so I got that going for me.

Which is nice. grin
No you didn’t.

Stop lying.

Not dumb at all.

OSHA considers 140 DB at the ear an acceptable amount of sound to which I can subject my employees.

My 4 oz Ti on a 6.5mm CM bolt gun has 140 DB at the shooters ear.

For spotters slightly further away we are way down in the 130 DB range.

I understand why some may want more suppression but how much weight will you tolerate on a hunting rifle?

Shooters ear numbers on an AR which is hard to get good shooter ear suppression. It's the little numbers LZMax. 139.5 DB.
