Surefire Mini vs FA556 Suppressor

[SuperRip7]

i like how short it is.

[quats69]

those are some bad ass suppressors

[ridah925]

The fitst one is definately quieter!!

[jimbo45cal]

DUDE where is the 2nd part of this review im dying for the review of the mini!!!

[colton12344321]

good lookin gun. "magpulled out" haha. what mine looks like now.

[jebustheone]

Did you measure peak SPL? If SF would warranty that thing, the mini would be great for sub12" ARs.

Could you imagine a 7.5 AR and a 3 inch can? I could live with -24dB.

One day...

[Bloodhammer1967]

@Wulfsige107 I would like to know as well...

[jeffshootsstuff]

The first one is noticeably quieter IMO. Still the tiny one is very cool. Thanks for the vid.

@Wulfsige107

No license, just a tax and paperwork for each item

[Knightsarmamentlover]

You guys are about to be at 1000 videos. Anything special in the works?

[matajesus4]

A db meter would be handy to measure the db differences.

[GunWebsites]

@matajesus4

not at the range.. too much other noise

[DEFkon001]

@matajesus4 You'd think so, but keep in mind sound is a spectrum and the numbers can "lie" like the devil if not interrupted & researched and tested extensively (and most of us don't - we just eat the info whole and take it for granted) . For example if you used a db meter on a dog whistle it might say 100+db = super loud.. yet you don't hear anything while you blow on it. As they say when it comes to first hand experience "The map is not the land."

@retreathell

The surefire mini cans are my favorite cans out there. I like them better than the kac, m4200 and any gemtech. Surefire cans are IMO the best and they really hit the nail on the head with the mini. Surefire is just a awesome company. They also make the best carbine (scout/mini scout) and pistol(x300) lights IMO.

[Knightsarmamentlover]

Yes civilians can own suppressors in many states. States and if your a felon are pretty much the only reason you couldn't get one. You'll have to pay a tax stamp and wait about 4 months then you can own one. It's not very difficult at all. Don't be drawn away because of hearsay/uneducated people.

[DEFkon001]

can't wait till you post the longer vid. Did you bring your Db meter with you? Though I think when it comes to volume perceived "loudness" is more important than meters. It's also worth mentioning that viewers should use caution when trying to asses the how loud a gunshot is based on a recording. Chances are the microphone used was a dynamic type that auto adjusts peak volume so it doesn't break up (hence no clicking or popping).

[GunWebsites]

@DEFkon001

great point about the cameras.. they try to NOT hear loud noises..

[DEFkon001]

@GunWebsites The best analogy I can think of is a dynamic mic will act like a painter or photographer and "zoom" in or out as much as needed to fit the whole scene in frame. If your filming something small like a coin you can fill the whole frame and it'll look huge, especially to someone with a large screen. But if you try to film something big you'd have to zoom out quite a bit to get into frame. The lack of a uniform scale can make pennies look bigger than battleships on film.

[legato223]

Surefire mini seems to be just a bit quieter

[Shadowhunter712]

Dude that is so freakin quite!! Wow that is awesome. Surefire flippen rules...

[93yoyo360]

Great video like always.

When are you going to do a video of the TAR-21 (TAVOR) ?

Best regards

[Neberheim]

@93yoyo360 It would have to be imported here or produced first. You can't get any Tavor variants in the States.

[hppyadam]

wow do you owen all the guns you put up on youtube is so that wood be sweet.

[GunWebsites]

@hppyadam

Yes, watch the Titan II silo tour (we own that too)

[PBandHoneySammich]

Another cool video. I like the quotes that you guys put up at the end too. Keep up the good work!

[RichWyatt1]

nice vid and tease lol

[dlizzle]

would be great if you could get a db meter and some readings (when nobody else was at the range creating background noise)...looks like fun, tho...

[GunWebsites]

@dlizzle

We are trying to do that.. harder than it seems

[Knightsarmamentlover]

Btw suppresors are not anything like you see in the movies. You can't shoot someone in a public place like you see in the movies and have no one hear. They are still pretty loud on most cals.

[LOKIUNCIA]

@Knightsarmamentlover Well... that Depends On The Gun and silencer. A .22 with a 5inx2in one, wont even wake you up if it's shot int he same room your sleepin' in. But, a 30-06, yea, You'd still hear that a mile away.

[Knightsarmamentlover]

You go shoot next to someone with a 10.5-11.5" sbr with a triple tap all day and then let me know if there's a point for 5.56 cans.

[GunWebsites]

@Knightsarmamentlover

Another great point !!

[docwondernuts]

@Knightsarmamentlover what did you say, I can't hear you....

[Transporter1022]

I dont see the point in having a suppressor that only reduces the sound slightly. Your either heard or your not, there is no in between.

[GunWebsites]

@Transporter1022

Don't buy one then, more for the rest of us

[Greatnemo]

@Transporter1022

that's why it's called a suppressor not a silencer

[Transporter1022]

@Greatnemo

They are all called suppressors. There is no such thing as a "silencer". Technology hasnt allowed us to have a completely silent weapon. Care to try again?

[Greatnemo]

@Transporter1022

but i think they are kind of differ

[BigSean1992]

@Transporter1022 silencer=suppressor... first silencer ever made was called the maxim silencer and the ATF uses the terms interchangeably so stop being a turd on youtube unless you know what you are talking about

[Knightsarmamentlover]

Could you guys make a better longer video on these. I couldn't really tell much about them. It was hard to hear with all the other shooting going on in that short amount of time.

[GunWebsites]

@Knightsarmamentlover

yup, this is just a teaser vid

[RetreatHell]

Cool vid, man!! I'd love to see a slightly more extended video with maybe half a magazine (or more) of rounds fired through each can. It would also be awesome if there wasn't any background noise with lots of other people firing their guns. Of course that might just not be a possibility for you which is totally understandable. But I'm considering buying the Surefire Mini and really want to see (and hear) more of it before making the expensive commitment.

S/F

[GunWebsites]

@RetreatHell

We deff will, this was just a quick trip to the range (first day after the stamp) we will do much more with this cool little can for sure

For now I'd say go for the mini, hardly any difference sound wise from it's big brother

[RetreatHell]

@GunWebsites Roger that, good to go! I definitely won't be buying one anytime soon though, because I just bought a Knight's Armament QDSS-NT4 5.56mm suppressor, as well as a Silencerco Sparrow .22 can (sending off the Form 4s next week)... so I've gotta wait awhile before buying another silencer :)

S/F

[ChaohsiangChen]

FA556 sounds quiter in the recording.

[MrGunsplosion101]

the mini was waaaaay louder.

[ruffo789]

first! :D

[googlemaster6380]

@ruffo789 to get killed
