How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Unsuppressed Level, Suppressor Reduction, and Ammunition Type.
- Set Supersonic, Subsonic, and Barrel Length.
- Review Adjusted Sound Level (dB) and Hearing Safe (<140 dB).
- Use Base Suppressed Level (dB) and dB Above Safe Threshold to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
