Haven't tried this precisely, but sometimes in IPSC we'd shoot through barrels or from inside vehicles and the blast and noise was horrendous - even from handguns.
Ammosmith on Youtube tried a range suppressor made of tyres and I didn't think it was very effective.
I've been hankering for a while to line up several concrete culvert pipes and see how effective that is. Completely static of course but could be useful for load development I think.

So an indoor firing range falls under this logic then. :lol:

G'Day Fella's,

On One Wheel, to the best of my knowledge, the only time a sound suppression device becomes Illegal, is when it is attached to the firearm.

The other variation on this lined plastic 205litre drum, is a series car tires (10+) held together in a longitudinal frame, that is positioned forward of the muzzle/shooting bench.
The hollow inner section of the tire, act like baffles in a suppressor and work pretty well!
You may need to place spreaders in the inside of the individual tires, to keep them open and tires with more rubber on them will work better than seriously worn tires!

Hope that helps

Avagreatweekendeh!
