1. Sound Signature Review 6.159 – the Combat Application Technologies CAT/DD/A1 with 7.62mm NATO! A bolt-action evaluation of this “K” silencer intended for use on reciprocating weapons. How does it perform? What do we learn about its performance from this test program? Is there anything of note? Unusual performance, that’s for sure. This is the introductory discussion for this white paper published today with this episode! (00:08:25)

2. More data and analysis coming very soon. Continuing to explore a single combustion regime – but with different use cases! “Soon,” perhaps we will move into really stretching our 7.62 NATO evaluations with more complex cases. (00:30:57)
