    I didnt see any smear, his video accurately depicts the can and what we already know and expect from it. Its probably not for your average consumer, but its wasnt designed for the average guy either. Im just happy many of their products are available to the civilian market.

    It doesn't accurately depict anything.

    It discusses one of several aspects of silencer performance while not discussing other benifits of this particular silencer, while coming to a false conclusion the silencer is overpriced.

    POI shift is more important that sound reduction for anybody that does serious shooting.

    Having to adjust for bad POI shift is annoying and costs time and money through wasted ammo trying to get dialed in.

    A 2-3 dB difference does not matter to anyone accept in a laboratory.

    I can take all leading silencers and place a blindfolded bystander 50 feet away and he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    I think you guys are taking one man's opinion too personally. I ain't no big time operator so really who cares if MAC liked the KAC can or not unless it is to bolster your own opinion that you made the right choice. If you have one and you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks.

    Pretty much the only thing he could tell you is which one sounds the best.

    (It wouldn't be KAC...)

    Saying it costs more than cans that meter at lower decibels is not accurate? Saying cerakote burns off a can at high temp isn't accurate? The only thing in the video I saw that was inaccurate was saying the vented shroud on the can was a milled texture instead of the welded on sleeve that it is.

    1) It would have been an extra ten rounds and two minutes to print a pair of groups suppressed and unsuppressed and compare the two.

    2) I was surprised at how gassy it was. Aren't loud cans supposed to push "low blowback" as a trade-off?

    Didn't look any gassier than my NT4, he did say he was running some non spec bolt assembly made just for suppressed rifles.

    They are truthful but incomplete statements.

    Not only that, but his comments that POI shift doesn't really matter or that none of his cans have POI shift just demonstrates his lack of understanding.

    Just another Youtooober, looking for clicks, ratings, followers, and $$$$$.

    I watch videos to get a look at the weapon and occasionally pay attention to what the person is saying (MrGunGear being an example of someone who I'll listen to), but the sample size of one being tested means nothing scientifically for the 'torture tests" and I keep my own counsel on what I deem good for me and mine.
