1. Listener Questions are back! Let’s dive back into the 5th Solicitation. (00:09:05)

2. New Sound Signature Review(s) this week? Strong maybe. Time for something a little different, with a twist. Buckle up? Yes. (00:38:33)

3. Thank you for all of your interest – worldwide. Becoming the go-to source for independent third-party testing and analysis is very prideful – and a lot of responsibility. Thank you for supporting the effort to make this possible! (00:43:14)

3. Flow-Through technology. Let’s talk about the actual technology, resulting sound signatures, and your expectations. Do you understand the PEW Science Suppression Rating? Do you understand what “loud” means? Let’s go back to the basics of this important topic. (01:07:25)

4. The support for PEW Science is significant. An open letter to consumers and industry was written by me, and has remained on the website as Section 1 of the Standard, since launch. The Standard remains as it was written. This is purposeful. (01:23:26)

2. The Q Cherry Bomb. Love it or hate it – the proliferation is significant. Let’s talk about its influence on weapon function, as related to gas dynamics at the muzzle. The SCAR isn’t just a pretty face! The data utility of the apparatus is significant. We’ve talked about the Omega Metric. Now, it’s time to introduce and investigate the Alpha parameter. (00:51:39)

3. Hope you had a great Easter weekend. Field research is something that I think a lot of folks have been doing on their own, which is great to see! Never stop learning and experimenting – pass the torch to those learning from you, such that they can teach others as well. The PEW Science effort is strong – shout out to contributing members!
