  • Nothing but Self-congratulatory Babble

    I tried three different episodes. It’s all basically meandering babble about his admittedly unique service and that you should subscribe to his web site to see the real information. He writes like an academic, which is its own annoyance, but he babbles like a teenager who just figured out how to create a podcast. Some people seem to get something out of it, but I gave up.

  • Silencer Physics Mr. Rogers

    His “Mr. Rogers” delivery is full of dry humor and kindness.

    His fluid dynamics obsession serves anyone and everyone who has any plans to shoot regularly.

    What a wonderful, scientifically literate intro to suppressor science, sprinkled with transient dips into mechanical engineering & fluid dynamics.

    I friggin’ love this show.

    Thank you for your work, Jay & Co. Y’all are making the world a better place!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 306 - Dead Air Lazarus 6 Testing and Listener Questions (20-MAY-2026)
Q: Question 600, sub question 10. Do we need new test hosts because companies are designing to gain PEW Science testing?
The host argues this is a misunderstanding: better-performing silencers on their tests indicate genuine performance, not a game; the testing uses untuned hosts to stress-test designs and reveal true capability across platforms.
Episode 306 - Dead Air Lazarus 6 Testing and Listener Questions (20-MAY-2026)
Q: Question 598, sub-question 8. What generally makes a great pistol host?
Refer to the prior episode answer (question 594, sub-question 4) for the host characteristics, and consider the balance between being untuned and representative across platforms.
Episode 306 - Dead Air Lazarus 6 Testing and Listener Questions (20-MAY-2026)
Q: Question 597, sub question seven. Any way to guesstimate what a sound signature would be on a semi-auto pistol if the action was held closed?
Yes, you can use the muzzle suppression rating as a proxy, though the measurement is contaminated by ejection port blast; with forensic techniques you could isolate the muzzle blast and re-calculate the suppression mean more purely for an academic exercise.
Episode 301 - JK Armament PRO-KOR 556K Testing and Listener Questions (15-APR-2026)
Q: Question 578, can an AR-15 buffer have too much mass?
Yes, too much mass increases gas impulse requirements and recoil, so tuning should start with inertial mass and then adjust the gas block; excessive spring force can worsen cycling.
Episode 301 - JK Armament PRO-KOR 556K Testing and Listener Questions (15-APR-2026)
Q: Question 575, can you talk about a variable mass bolt for a Ruger Mark IV to inspire a product like when you fixed the cam lock?
The host explains that a mass-tuning approach can delay bolt opening to improve silencer performance and safety, citing a real-world Griffin Easy Lock improvement as evidence of user feedback driving design changes.
