    The battle comp is freaking awesome and the guys who are selling them are top notch too. Alan is a member here. The battle comp will help you with rapid follow up shots it works as advertised. I want a few more myself.

    Since the OP mentioned this is for use only in his house, these things seem for sure to me (without ear pro), regardless of muzzle device.

    -Huge concussion and possible temporary confusion
    -Temporary severe hearing loss
    -permanent long term hearing damage, possibly severe

    any time you exceed your ears threshold, you'll have some degree of permanent hearing loss. but not necessarily noticeable. it's not a guaranty that you'll have noticeable hearing loss just because you blast some asshole in your house, and if you do, it's still likely to be minor, and if it's not, is your life not worth it?

    and i don't know where this misconception that firing inside a house is worse than firing elsewhere comes from. if you have hardwood floors, sparse furniture, and smooth walls, probably- but most people have carpet, furniture, textured walls and ceiling, shit hanging on the walls, etc- all of these things absorb sound. without getting into it, i've had occasion to fire two rounds of .45acp from a 3.5" barrel while standing just inside the doorway between a bedroom and residential hallway without earpro- all carpeted with textured walls and fully furnished.. no tinnitus, no noticeable hearing loss (though we all know there had to have been some, to some degree). counter that with firing the same weapon once while standing over gravel without hearing protection- i almost dropped the weapon, it hurt so bad. i had tinnitus and temporary loss for two days.

    all of this said, i've fired a 10.5" with a battlecomp 1.0 over grass without hearing protection... it was very loud, and i did have minor tinnitus and noticeable temporary hearing loss, but suffered no noticeable permanent hearing loss (again, as above) and was fine in a few hours. accidentally left my earpro on the table behind me..

    is it possible you'll go permanently and totally deaf from blasting a short barrel inside without hearing pro? certainly... but very unlikely.

    Well, I keep a set of surefire sonic defender plus with my weapon, dont know if ill grab them when I hear that "bump" in the night, but they are there. Its a little too late though, I already made the decision to go with the battlecomp 1.0, and I will order in the morning.
    I wanna thank everyone that chimed in.

    Thanks again,
    Brandon

    If anyone knows a discount code for any vendor, I would be very thankful. Sorry to be a bum, but gas is $3.59, and im paying for a divorce. I need all the help I can get.

    And of course, there's always auditory exclusion. The main problem bring it doesn't effect everyone in the same way. Me? I don't even recall hearing the shots when done in close-quarters. Others are negatively effected. *shrug*

    Perception is reality.....you may not perceive the intensity of the blast. Regardless, it does not preclude you from having severe damage occur to the ossicles, hair cells and tympanum!
