Per latest acquisition of AR pistol (1), I took it to the range to try it out. As expected, very loud and big pretty fireball. But, my Peltor active muffs did their job, and it was all good. 100 rnds no issues. Back in the day, would have done 200-300 for sure, but to much $ these days, and I was "that guy" annoying people at an indoor range. I was alone for the first 60 rnds actually and people started coming in, so not too bad. It's worse when you are on either side of such a gun vs behind it. So, did my bit, told them I'd have a can on the crazy thing some day, and left.
I still didn't bother me all that much and was perfectly pleasant to shoot, although way better at an outdoor range no doubt.
Ps, loudest AR I have ever fired was 16" with a muzzle break designed to reduce recoil (as if an AR needed such a thing...) and it sent gas and sound back at you. And entire line of us shooting ARs of various lengths and configs, and they all looked over and said "WTF is up with that AR dude?" True story.
