10:26 Demo explained that in a video. The first shot with a suppressor is always louder because of the oxygen built up in the suppressor, so the first shot will get rid of all the oxygen and then make the nexts shots quieter.
Doesnt help when he took off the shroud he exposed all the baffles lol
He also said FRP after which is First Round Pop, So he 100% knew anyway.
Came to the comments expecting to see this. Glad I didn't have to type it myself.
Pretty sure a lot of
People have made that explanation.
Polenar Tactical also explained this in their video about silencers
That "first round pop" (from the bolt-action) is caused by more oxygen being in the barrel than the follow-up shots.
Edit: If you want to fill your barrel with Co2 look up a "Gallo Drain Gun" and use that to remove the oxygen. You can then seal your system by chambering a round and taping the other end. Some suppressors also support sealing with a "wipe".
It's also because it's a monolithic suppressor design.
They always have more FRP than conventional baffle stacks.
TFB tv covers this pretty good. And explains exactly that

If a suppressor hasn't had a round fired for a period, it will in fact be louder due to atmospheric oxygen burning inside. After its been shot the residual gasses help reduce the atmospheric oxygen inside so followups will be quieter
Thank you for this :)

F**k that sound meter lol I woulda done the same thing
That first round pop is because there's still oxygen inside the system. When you fire off the 1st shot it will ignite along with whatever propellant, making more noise. The second shot is quieter because there's less oxygen in the system to ignite because of the gas exiting the system
I commented on the first round pop... but I went scrolling to make sure... this needs more upvotes
yep that's why you wet your can if you go for that sneaky hood rad shit like a pro! I am a lot bit disappointed that Mat didn't know that!

Somebody design a forced nitrogen purge for cans. I love the idea of a "Push to Shush" button.
"still oxygen inside the system. When you fire off the 1st shot it will ignite along with whatever propellant"
Oxygen by itself does not ignite, it needs fuel.
The propellant has both fuel and oxidizer in it, both are released from the surface of a particle when its heated, it does not need external oxygen to burn.
The VSS just has that old world charm.
Like it's been around a while and knows what it's doing.
Rattler looks like it's the new hotness, probably runs well, is engineered for more specific scenarios,
but i still say the VSS just has that sexy shape.
VSS is babushka rifle
Original VSS' silencer have only 3 deflectors because of resonance and standing wave effect. The deflectors are at the right distance, it is easy to calculate, because the soundwave from a subsonic bullet is harmonic! It's not to easy as seems :)
Yeah it sounds really cool 😎
When VSS was modernized as VSSM, they kept the same suppressor. They didn't go fix something, that wasn't broken.
And that is the thing here, the gun has incorrect suppressor because import sanctions.
The VSS was well designed, and even when it can be joked "worst muffler, with some bent hardwarestore washers in it" it still does correctly everything, and is easy to clean and service.
@@paristo That doesnt make it good lol. The T34 tank "won the war because it was easy to make and repair" but if it got rained on it would kill the electronics lolll.
@@Salamandra40k T-34 didn't have any problems with rain.... You even thinking that to be true tell how little you don't just know, but understand about the topic.
And VSS suppressor design is specifically designed by purpose, not by just slapping something together that was on the table at that moment when someone told "I want it to be low noise!".
@@paristo Lolll, go tell that to the chieftan, who specifically mentions it in one of his videos on the topic, that the T34 would break down not only crossing small streams because it would fry the electronics if they got wet, but also that a heavy rain would do the same to them. You are legit just biased- they were garbage tanks AT THE BEGINNING. Obviously they got better over time, but that takes til the end of the war to reach real, reliable quality.
Personally, I love that VSS's look. Just so simple and clean looking, very minimalistic functional. I'd still love to have that Rattler though for personal normal use.
I felt the same way. I wouldn't turn either one down
The VSS reminds me of the rifles used in the original Planet of the Apes, just clean and cool.

@@thetankhunter100 Thank you.
An interesting fact about the Val is that the cartridge and supressor were designed not only to supresss the sound, but also to create vibrations that our hearing aids are less able to perceive. The sound of the shot itself is still relatively loud, but we react worse to sounds in this range.
React worse to the sound of a suppressed rifle? How so?
@@bunk95 Suppressors can't really hide the sound fully, all they really do is make it go from "holy shit, i'm being shot at" to more like "oh, that was a pretty loud noise. Wonder what that is. Oh wait..."
The shots of Val/Vintorez suppressors are said to have a frequency profile that makes them blend into the background noise even further, to the point where unless you're actively listening for the sound or are REALLY close to it, you're not going to hear it. So while it's still unable to fully silence the gun, unsurprisingly, it's a lot more effective than its simplicity would imply because of how much thought went into it
The first round is always gonna be louder in a suppressor because of the oxygen that gets burned thats in the suppressor. After the first shot there is no oxygen left to be burned so it muffles more. There are plenty of other videos that explain this better than what Im saying. But you get the idea.

10:03 its called a supressor pop, happens when taking first shot, while the oxygen is still in the device. Next shot is much more quiet. Becouse of the gunpowder, thats Just burned inside the supressor.
Probably made even worse by the fact that Matt literally took the thing off to show us the baffles, which was really cool, but definitely meant that he was gonna have a loud(er) first shot.

That shit could kill a pseudogiant with one or two magazine, but goodluck getting any aac blackout rounds in the zone.
----12 gauge gang
the real questions
On why the first shot was louder, that's a phenomena called "First Round Pop" or FRP. Before you start shooting there's a lot of oxygen in the suppressor that is burned off by the first and second shot and replaced by burnt gas and it gets silent after that. To negate FRP you can spray an inert gas into the suppressor to replace the oxygen like a CO2/Nitrogen spray and some military guys shoot off a round into the dirt before going on mission and tape off the barrel to keep FRP to a minimum.
Surprising people who own all these suppressors and make a living off shooting them don’t know that ; o.
This is an awesome explanation, thank you man!
I noticed this but never knew the reason why. Fantastic to know some of the science behind it.
The "Shoot a round off into the dirt and put a strip of masking tape over the muzzle" trick is good for a few hours of eliminating FRP. After that, enough O2 works its way in that you have FRP again.
So it does work, but it has its limitations.
Also, this only applies to closed bolt guns. Where rhe fresh cartridge "seals" the breech end.
I learned something here. Cool.

Make sure you've calibrated your sound level meter before use. Also, you should try to set the scaling to dB-C on the instrument; it's much more accurate for impact noises.
dB-A would more closely match what the human ear perceives. My guess is that they had it on dB-C.
Too late.
Yah I don’t see that happening, I’m pretty sure I heard plastic breaking, hope he bought it on amazon, I would send it back and get a refund since whoever sold it had false and misleading statements in the description. $350 for a decibel meter is bs.
Do you want humans slaves to make media for other human slaves and their owner?
brandon im an nvh engineer and would love to do a complete spectral analysis using iso standards, Those sound meters are notorious for being inaccurate and need to be calibrated against a reference tone and pressure, you can get extremely technical with sound pressure/power on something like ballistics
I think he'd also need to measure peak, no? He's measuring LAF Max, which I don't think is repeatable for proper transients... He'd also need to calibrate it, which he didn't do.
Distance from sound and objects materials around also influence it.... its magic sorta
Jay at PewScience is already ahead of you.
Aesthetically speaking, the Rattler is one of the coolest modern ARs, but the VSS is one of the most beautiful weapons in history imo
How about Knights Armament tho?
@@milkyyanks765 anyone who likes Knights for anything other than the MSASS is a fucking hipster
Agreed
It also carries 950 rpm
How about SVD sniper rifle?
From somebody who works with sound and sound measuring let me tell you: A decent decibelmeter that works good and can actually be used to measure for example workplace noise etc. costs upwards of 4k$ and needs to be calibrated every year.
The key to measuring gunshots is the rise time of the sound meter. Suppressed gunshots are VERY short events and so the meter must be able to react quickly enough to capture all of the sound event. The meters that are used to capture gunshots typically require a rise time faster than 20 microseconds.
The VSS is an incredible rifle. You barely hear it when shot outside
Ive always loved the look of the AS Val and VSS Vintorez, so they are clear "Winners" for me.
yep. When he said the Sig was so much prettier I chuckled because I think the VSS is one of the sexiest guns ever. The Sig isn't even close.
@@usernamesrlamo EXACTLY
Sgt, согласен с тобой✔️
Shorty AR blows all these out of the water.
yes
what I learned from forgotten weapons is that the second and third shots are lower in volume because the expansion gases fill the barrel instead of air and due to their nature supress better than the air that was here on previous shot
Also the original VSS shroud / suppressor was designed to use rubber wipes for the first few shots, it was reported quieter than shown by Brandon's
If anyone is curious, the sound meter is not working for guns because gunshots are really loud and they are really quick. Most of the OSHA meters are trying to make sure something is under 130 dB as that is the usual limit in the United States, and it takes an average of the pressure over several seconds to register the constant but it does not sample fast enough to actually register the peak of the pressure wave. They can be somewhat useful to give relative ratings, so if you put a sampler the same distance and orientation from the muzzle of two guns then it will tell you which one is probably louder, but how much louder it is still cannot be trusted. There is absolutely no way to convert or translate those readings to actual accurate numbers. Most of the time dB ratings are worthless anyway and virtually all of the advertised levels for silencers are lies, and I say that as a design engineer for a silencer manufacturer that has published some obviously incorrect dB ratings. I still give a manager grief for publishing the dB level he got on his iPhone in the product launch announcements. "Really, you think its a 78 dB reduction? You think you invented the quietest silencer in the world on your first try?? Oh wait, our good meter says it is only a 12 dB of reduction, weird! I wonder which one is correct, given the ringing in my ears???" Daily reminder that just because someone does something for a living it doesn't mean they have any idea what the *F* they are talking about. Anyway, while the military does have an official standard of testing for how loud a gun is, usually manufacturers are not using that standard when testing (if actually testing at all). If you want legit levels hire a reputable sound engineer for a day or drop $3-5k on a forensic sound meter designed specifically for gunshots.
Underrated comment
Best comment so far! And even if they had the right equipment they still have had to measure the exact distance from the source, as well as take different readings from different directions as i guess a gun is no where near a perfectly omnidirectional source
Thank you, you explained it better than I could have.
I still have to explain to people that the suppressed M3 was not 85 dB as people claimed. If they could get a .45 that quiet in the '40s, we could still do it today. They just sucked at measuring it because, well, they were using 1940s technology.
@@TheScrubsfanforever That's not even the half of it! Sound itself is not a simple thing, it's our interpretation of very tiny changes in air pressure over time. This means that environment is a major factor as well because the pressure wave reverberates off surfaces and comes back in echo. Outside of a sound booth there is always an echo but usually it is so fast our brain doesn't register it unless the reflection is from far enough away or if it's an echo of an echo of an echo. Since sound is a factor of pressure over time if you shoot outside in an open field on a grassy knoll for instance you mainly get the primary wave then a minor ground reverberation and that's it. If you shoot in a typical indoor range you get the primary wave then you get the reverberation off the shooting booth then off the concrete floor then off the bullet trap combined with the noise of the bullet hitting the trap (which, as they noted, is frequently louder than the gun when shooting suppressed) then the reverberation off the floor of the bullet hitting the trap. That noise just got like 6 times longer, which means it is perceived as being louder to the ear even if the actual peak of the noise was the same.
@@Bacteriophagebs haha exactly. This isn't to say things like the welding rod and the zipper gun and the de lisle were not super quiet for the time, they for sure were, and in some cases some guns can be made Hollywood quiet, but most were still pretty loud. It's also important to remember that the past was very loud too! Machines were much louder, cars without mufflers before our man Maxim, hard hobnailed shoes on cobble, and the reports of generals having silenced stens mag dumped within 10 yards of them and them not hearing it is less evidence of the silence of the sten and more evidence that general was a veteran of many Enfield firing lines, artillery barrages, or Vickers nests because he is probably deaf as a cabbage.

The 300BLK technically came out in the early 90s and was originally called 300 whisper. I am willing to bet that the rattler was running in the low 900fps with that super short barrel.
yea. Nato standardized it from .300 whisper. Guy who made the whisper was a genius.
the 300 only need a 9 inch barrel to get full rotation velocity, i think 900s way too much of a low ball tbh, this prob has at least 1750
most factory 300BLK subsonic ammo (what he's shooting) is loaded to go 1050ish FPS out of a 16" barrel, with 5" barrel you are more than likely be in the lower 900 FPS. If he was shooting supersonic (1750FPS) which you suggested you would hear the sonic boom of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. You can achieve enough rotation velocity to stabilize the bullet with as short as a 4 inch barrel and maybe shorter. The whole 9" barrel thing is that if can efficiency burn its powder charge in a 9" barrel, but still benefits from added velocity in longer barrels.
The louder first shot is always going to happen. The baffles don’t have the gasses from the rounds initially. But after the gasses fill up the can, it’s definitely quieter
A sound meter for measuring firearms needs a rise time of 20 micro seconds or less, and 160,000 sample rate to meet the mil standard.
Haha first thing I thought when I read your comment was “look at this nerd.” Love it!

For a self defense or primary weapon, I'd choose the rattler. As a collector or cool factor I'd choose the vss.
@Broccoli Rob VSS of course. Even right now in Ukraine FSB Spetsnaz use some of these together with AS VALs.
Im pretty sure Lobaev DVL 10 can beat both of them in cool factor, usability, practicality and collectability. They already combat proven in Ukraine and somehow escape US sanction.
@Broccoli Rob Lobaev DVL 10 is a hot gun among Mercenaries and rebel forces on Russian side and I think is a far more useful gun since it has the option to shoot full cartridge.
@Broccoli Rob battle proven doesn't mean "best". Is a basic bitch Colt M4A1 a better AR than a Knight's SR16 or LMT SpecWar because the M4A1 has seen waaaaay more combat usage than the other 2?
Also, the Rattler has seen usage for PSDs by Naval Special Warfare DEVGRU whereas the VSS is a standard issue weapon to some Russian infantry, of course it'll see more use.
Don't discount the BRN-180S, the BRN and the MCX use the same gas piston and dual buffer arrangement as the AR-18 but the BRN is way cheaper and shares more parts commonality with the AR-15.

3:49 The bottle starts spraying and the guy still focuses on the rifle by putting it on safe, you can see his hand doing it. That's what i love to see, proper handling of firearms. Many people would be focused on the bottle and try to move, and maybe they would forget about the safety switch. And possibly they would end up in a Darwin Award video.
How can you tell either of them have the brains required to focus?
9x39 is definitely my favorite soviet cartridge. The SR-3M is one of the coolest guns that uses it too.
9x39 does what it's intended to do, 300 blk is more of an improvised way of doing something similar. 300 blk factory loads are either sub sonic and equivalent in power to .45 acp or pretty much 5.56 power with more recoil and less accuracy. Would be really cool if 9x39 just became a thing instead of .300 blk becoming a thing because everyone already has .223 brass to re neck.
Brandon, as scientist myself, i can tell you there are sounds you can't hear that are loud. Called ultrasounds.
They have high frequency, human ear can't hear it, but some animals can, dogs, bats etc.
Just as you can't see ultra-violet or infra-red light. Maybe you got wrong settings on the device.
I didn’t know that’s what that was called. That’s cool to know.
I still can't believe Brandon, an SOT, didn't make his VSS full auto. Truly a tragedy
I think it makes sense, he probably won't have his sot forever, sad to say but realistic. At least if/when he decides not to renew it he can keep it , and pass it to children or family he may have in the future
Most likely due to Ammo cost
I can't believe this is like the one comment be didn't like
I'm not from the US so I have no idea about ammo prices, but if the 9x39 goes for $3-4 a pop... That's like sending $3-4k per minute in the trash lol
because he didn't make it there's a company that makes them
Man I would have loved to see just a simple 3A armor setup with ballistic gel behind it... Feel like you could have shelled out for that to test these two amazing cartridges. Also, decibels are measured exponentially, just by the by

I just built a 10 inch .300 blackout... went with a vortex holographic with 3x magnifier cost me about 2200 to put it together.... and I love the gun I got a OSS suppressor I run on it and it runs amazing!!!
The blow up on the decibel meter.... that is my whole day right now. Thank you so much Brandon for helping me feel less alone in my current frustration!!!😂
I'm an AR guy and I love the look of the Rattler, but the VSS is just such a unique and iconic piece I'd say it wins the sex appeal competition
One of my anti-gun friends…
So well played.
Indeed
it's true tho

@@bigtony2559 The founders/owners of Black Rifle (almost all of them) are anti gun. They and the company have donated to democrats and anti gun organizations numerous times.
TheModernSurvivalist has a great video on the topic.
@@bigtony2559 he donated money to anti gun democrats and then refused to support Kyle Rittenhouse after acting like he was cool with him
That sound that the VSS Vintorez makes is INSANE! It sounds like something you might here in a Hollywood movie! In fact, it's the closest sound to a Hollywood sniper rifle or silenced rifle I've ever heard!
I can definitely say. That decibel meter throw was subsonic.
I love the joke about Matt being anti-gun, because, well, he is, haha.
Man you people are still on about that lost bet hih
@@Demonslayer20111 believe what you want but yeah he's not as 2A as he should be defiantly not as pro freedom as he should be.
Didnt he just donate to obama in 2008? Considering that gun laws were even part of his campaign thats really stupid. Hell all that happened under him was background check laws. Are trump voters/donators "antigun" because his administration banned bumpstocks?
@@martinbaumgardner4432 i will thanks
@@schultz6622 Yes. Trump saw more gun control happen under his watch than any other president in the last 18 years. He advocated for "Take the guns first, due process second." But the guys at BRCC built their brand on Pro-2A coffee, and then turned their back when it could have looked bad for them to support a true patriot.
Dont worry Brandon, I still enjoyed this episode to its fullest extent. Every time you upload it brings a smile to my face, thanks for uploading!
9x39 is THE most comparable round to 300 Blackout sub-sonic loads. If you graph their ballistics, they're almost parallel performers, with 300 Blackout holding ~10% higher performance from muzzle to 500 meters.
The air inside the can needs to burn on the first round, still sending out more noise. The second and third round will be quieter.
Air/oxygen doesn't really burn, it allows other compounds to burn, but I'm just a pedantic autist.
Well the sig is like a sedan, you can just buy it anywhere and the VSS is like a rare car you have to restore its one of a kind.

If the handguard extended over the suppressor on the MCX it would look sexier than the VSS, but in it's current configuration, the VSS wins hands down
Those exist, look up LVAW clones
@@DollyRanch oooooooh my god that thing is gorgeous
It's called a tacops
@@DollyRanch, Midwest industries sell a hand guard that covers the suppressor. I have had one on my Rattler for years.
I learned from matt: the first shot with a silencer is always little bit louder cuz there is oxygen in the silencer and after the first shot thats gone(burned) and thats the reason its much quiter😊
10:15 According to DemolitionRanch, the first shot through a supressor is louder because of the amount of oxygen present... Since most of the "barrel" IS the supressor on that gun, and the cover was screwed on just before the first shot, it would be louder than the following shots by that logic. But you'll have to contact/ watch DemolitionRanch for the specifics. (I just watched a fairly new video with Nicholas Iriving where this was mentioned by Matt 🙂)
Was going to say there is a first shot rule with suppressors. I believe you are right. The first shot burns up some oxygen in the suppressor or inert gas helps suppress noise. Oxygen is what makes things go boom.
you're right.
If you are going to get an silencer education, there are better sources than sellout ranch.
@@ja0298 "sellout" LOL! Say you are a bitter beta without saying it!
@@eriklarson9137 spoken like a true cuck. Ever wonder why his channel appeals to the lowest common denominator of firearms owners?
I especially loved the part where Brandon literally yeeted a decibel reader across the room at a wall full of guns.
I suspect the sound meter was in metric, and the guns were firing in imperial units.
I suspect it was made in China 🤣
I... No- That's not how dB wor--
Fuck it, I'm out.
Jk
I was stoked to build a 9x39 AR platform having read Russians development of the subsonic 7.62 which lead to the 9x39. Then the 8.6 Blackout became a thing, which further advances the heavy subsonic ideals. Having a 8.6 build I'd still wouldn't mind a VSS in the stall.
VSS wins by far in the looks department, there's just something classic about it that the Rattler will never have.
And there's something about it most Americans will never have either.... :(
Polymer guns in my opinion are not pretty. They get the job done and are lighter.
I just think all the sexiest guns are wood and steel. The m16 looks beautiful though.
A gun I'd be proud to die with for sure. That barrel has to be my favorite feature. Dunno why, just looks nice.
See I'm the opposite, I think the rattler has the tacticool looks while the vss just looks like a mangled AK or every other wooden rifle out there
@@cainhager9814 the stock is a throw off for me
05.56 minutes into video: Mat screams to test decibel meter, Brandon actually jumps and get startled. Shit has me dying 10/10 content
Love hearing the rounds impact the dirt. Sounds just like a cod hit marker
Brandon Herrera is the only man in flip flops that I respect
the reason why the first shot was louder on Matt's rifle is because there still was oxygen in the barrel system
Very good point 👍
is the right answer
90+ degrees out and Brandon still out here cutting glass...
AS VAL has the appeal, especially with that "29" round mag
what exactly is the joke behind the 29 round mag
@@MultiMinecraftPiggie BanHammer on certain numbers regarding certain parts of certain yeet sticks
I don’t know if they wrote about it here or not. VSS has special armor-piercing cartridges. They are not at all like regular VSS ammo. Even visually they differ from all other armor-piercing cartridges. These cartridges were created to penetrate body armor. Real shooting with VSS occurs up to 300 meters, after which the bullet flies down. One of the features of the muffler is that they tried to make the sound of a shot as similar as possible to the noise of the environment, and after a certain number of meters it simply cannot be heard (perhaps after 100). But this weapon was created for special forces; ordinary military personnel do not have it. There is also a special automatic rifle AS based on the VSS. Once I saw someone shoot from it at night - there was no flash from the shot either.
Remeber how great it was to find this weapon in Stalker. Even remeber how my friend from Donesk showed me where to find it in the game...Who would have thought that in 15 years this friend of mine would be using the same weapone as a soldier of DNR reconnaissance company in Mariupol...By the way, he says it's a nice gun. He even bought a new optics for it.
It was my favourite gun in stalker, could use it to take out a whole group of enemies from range but ammo was super rare. Your friend really ended up playing stalker irl, bet he never saw that coming.
Hope hes healthy and hope he wins, lots of love from Asia
An OP gun in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. hard to find ammo though.
Good luck to your friend!
Very epic
Hope that your friend gets utilized
Damn Brandon looked like he was gunna have a gamer moment, but he made it over that bridge intact. Good job.
I've never clicked on video so fast. Brandon this is the content we want and love!
Brandon never disappoints, but the decibel reader does
Having a MPX, I would take the MCX. I would definitely take the can too, if ran in the 90 db range. Thanks Brandon and Matt for a great video!
Having the lvaw 300blk MCX, its not 90db but definitely sub 130db. I blind sound tested my buddy with a CO2 ar style bb gun and the MCX back to back and he thought the bb gun was the firearm. Stupid quiet.
I legit feel the pain using the meter. I would be angry to spend that kind of money and find it doesn't do anything. But hey, we understand bro. That's something! =D
Yeah you can tell how pissed he was as he chucked that thing at the gun wall. We have all been there.
Your t-shirt with "стопхам" is as awesome as this video ))
hi Brendan, out of these three guns, I liked the RPG-7 thanks for the video and greetings from Russia
Nice on him for giving the Leupold one of their only LCO purchases.
@3:50 Now that's a ranger! Knew he had to move from that big red so, finger came off the trigger and was put on safe. Muscle memory at it's finest people.
Brandon: remember kids, always follow the gun safety rules
Also him at the montage:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the first shot @10:23 was more quiet due to the fact that the suppressors inner chambers were initially full of air, which was subsequently burned off. As opposed to the second/third where it would be mostly gases. 🤷🏻♂️
absolutely correct
6:33 that guest appearance made me laugh my ass off xD....... If Dank ever comes down to Texas again y'all should take him to the range for some fun xD
Huge facts on this, an unexpected head nod there by Brendan, but a welcome one
“You probably had oil in your country at some point” Had me laughing.
In Russia VSS available for all who have license for rifled hunting weapon, ammo also in stock. Silencers denied, so civil version has barrel all way long through outer tube. But we have desigion for this - outer tube just 4 inches longer and quiet more than original.
