Non NFA Noise Mitigation For Defensive Rifles?

[3MTA3]

When things go bump in the night ear protection is likely the last thing on your mind when you grab that gun ti investigate. The best way to be able to hear the police later is the use of a silencer, however the temporary or permanent loss of an expensive NFA item is lousy. That's also assuming you can afford the expense.

The Witt Machine SME is a non NFA noise mitigation device that while not as effective as a suppressor is much better than nothing where your ears are concerned. It's also a decent option for a truck gun.

Haven't tried one and had read mixed reviews. I put a $15 blast can on on a 7.5" 5.56 and don't see what the difference would be, other than cost.

Let's assume that Witt is correct and this somehow does not diminish the report of a firearm. Despite quasi-baffles and quasi-tube and advertising that it "reduces lateral auditory reports." Let's assume that they are correct that re-directing sound is not diminishing the report.

As a practical matter, how long until the ATF goes after these like braces and bump stocks and binary triggers? I'm not saying they should, or that the Constitution allows it, just that I would expect it within a year.

The ATF might go after these under the same theory as solvent traps, that they are silencer parts even if not a finished silencer.

I don't think it would be right, I'm just saying that practically speaking this looks like a test case, or maybe intended to bait the ATF into seizing them for a test case in federal court.

I'm pretty sure that in the past the ATF have had decreed that any(-/+) changes in decibels from the shooters position makes the muzzle device a "silencer" and thus NFA regulated items?

Just sayin

These pique my interest and the idea has merit Im jut not certain it makes enough of a difference. The youtube guy is probably sponsored to give a favorable review. Id like to hear more positive reviews.

I dont see how these could be targeted as silencers but I can see the man going after the solvent traps. Might be a good idea to get one now while these are still fairly under the radar.

A properly designed linear compensator will do the same thing.

I thought those only reduced muzzle rise?

Operators unite.

They directs gases forward, but without the goofy shroud. Same thing this contraption is doing.

 

[Knobgoblin]

Skipped through the vid. Never saw it being used. So...

You'll be amazed at what your body will do when in high stress when shooting in regards to hearing and auditory exclusion.

And I won't be talking with the cops when they show up. I'll be waiting for an attorney first.

sounds like its a muzzle brake then?

 

[bradsteen]

Have one from a different company, just haven't had the chance to try it out yet. Next time I hit the range I'll let you know how it does with standard vs subsonic.

Range , shmange.
Anyone considering this for indoor use should play a round of 7 minutes in heaven with their designated defensive ammo.

This is a linear compensator, notice the gas ports on the front only.

Same concept as the noveske pig.

got it. I guess it doesnt matter what its called brake or comp as long as it works. Wouldnt that increase recoil?

It's a 5.56….. there's no recoil to begin with.

Probably not any more or less than not having any sort of muzzle attachment at all.
