Not only is it quiet, it's also very hard to miss your target when the end of the barrel is mere inches away from it!
Definitely one of the best comments here
Your comment is at 69 likes. I must not change that. But it's a very funny comment!
But is that the "end of the barrel" tho aka the muzzle or is it a long way from it
He bout to hit them point blank 😂😂
🤣🤣
Should have had a decibel meter to compare noise levels as each section was added!
That would've been super interesting, especially since the quality of "loud" or "quiet" definitely doesn't translate to TH-cam video in a way that the viewer can quantify.

"Do you hear that? The enemy appear to be using old-fashioned typewriters over in the trees"
Remember, with the Erector 69 you need to make sure you have permits for multiple States because the moment you point that thing you will probably cross multiple Borders.
If after shooting no bullet exits the barrel, it does not necessarily mean a misfire, do not watch down the barrel remember that it takes the Bullet some time before it reaches the end of the barrel (a bullet only travels at around the speed of sound after all). Sometime a bullet might not come out at all since it probably gets lost on the way!
Erector 69 sounds weird
"A bullet only travels at the speed of sound" isn't the speed of sound on the slower side for bullet travel speed? Please inform me.
I hate when my bullet gets lost while traveling. It must have missed that left at Albuquerque.
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 I think you missed the point of the joke....
@@Dkgow yeah, it was supposed to go strait past Albuquerque. if its making a left, you got a bigger problem, which would be baffling to see.
I love the thought that you avoid detection with super silent shots, then instantly give away your position when you unscrew the suppressor. Squeeeeeek.
The giggling also probably wouldn't help.
The subtitles said it was music lol
There is no war in bah sing se.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah they will see the suppressor!
The sound is enough to blow their ear drums out
I've found using some lube on my erector makes them go in easier with a lot less effort and noise.
gotta carry it around with the suppressor(s) on the barrel lol
Matt, a man of culture, delivering on his people's wishes!
His face every time he said 69. 🤣
Been waiting for this one
A man of culture and a man of Science. God bless the demolitia
What in the long noses?
Incorrect, this was my idea before it was his, great men do think alike that being that, you are all peasants
Took an unintentional break from your videos, 1 year later, its still like the first time i saw you. Magical.
bro is Whistlin Diesel but with guns
The irony of a suppressor being almost silent but enemies hearing you attach it from half a mile away.
That Was the most cringe asmr, but damn it sho did hit the target more the more squawks there were.
That noise...
@@FaTDawG604 you mean like nails on a chalkboard?
Well, the good news there is that it probably won't matter if he misses his shots, because they'll probably already be dead from the super-intense grinding of their teeth.
@@Davelon420 I didn't realize noises coming from a TH-cam video could have that effect on me, definitely not the video I should have watched to wind down before bed... I do honestly appreciate the fact that he was fully aware of that but did it anyways 🤣.
Impressive that you can miss with the barrel physically touching the target.
CSGO style
Love the vid
Classic Matt, never zeroes his muzzle device before a video.
in pvp, i miss and my barrels are pushing into the enemy's skins
@@keikenxfe2proalt434 XCOM style
I kept hoping Matt would prop-up the suppressors, level them (perhaps with a tripod or something), and see how accurate and quiet they could be manipulated to shoot.
This is by far the episode that made me laugh the hardest since I started watching 5 years ago, squeaky screwing and all.
Thanks, Matt!
If you rested the supressor on a flat surface (like a long table) it should eliminate the curve in the suppressor.
Yea but it would probably still have accuracy issues.. Having the barrel (or suppressor attached to the barrel) rest of anything throws off the point of impact. That's why all rifles now days have free float barrels.
That's what she said 😅
yes I thought of that to, a compensator for the droop, a straightener.
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql an erection support sleeve, if you will😏
@@A.F.1 How about no, god why is my text like this
If you permanently attach enough of those sections to bring the barrel up to 16" you don't have to worry about the ATF's new pistol brace rule and you can just put a stock on it
Pin and weld it 😅
Well with the way things are going in court right now, you probably won't ever have to worry about their new "rule". They've been getting their a$$es handed to them in court for months now on pretty much every case people bring against them 🤣
There's a reason ATF don’t try to fuck with lawyers
Good idea. So you're STILL filling out ATF forms for the silencer and then waiting a year or two instead of the like 30 days to get a form 1 done for an SBR. You showed em.
@@TheBeeFactory I mean... you're right, but you didn't have to say it man D:
Plus, you then get to say you have an integrally suppressed whatever... then your baffles wear out and you have to commit a potential felony to fix it by removing and then replacing the expensive part of the toob.
I love how Matt is always smiling, always makes me smile!
Those segments do a pretty good job at suppressing the pops. Thanks for sharing, Matt.
The only negative thing to that system is that ear-splitting/fingernails-raking-across-a-chalkboard screechy sound that happens when the segments screw together. A bit of pre-lubing of the segment's threads should be fine at silencing that noise during the suppressor's screwing-together process.
The fact that everyone on the set was laughing is priceless 😂
He couldn't stop screwing his erection.
I mean there were 2 people on set but I get what you're saying
It always is; they all have a great sense of humor! 🤪 👍 😝
@@RozKounelakion if he could read he'd be very upset with your comment
I might have worn out my volume buttons turning it up and down every time he screwed on the 9mm 🤣
5ft of suppressor finally gets you the quiet levels that the movies try to make you believe they give you!
subsonic, that is.
@@acctsys yeah any decent suppressor running subsonic rounds is going to be ridiculously quiet, still hard to match the movie quietness tho unless you’re shooting a silenced 22/22lr with subsonic rounds
Z
Not even close! Movie suppressor sounds are retarted quiet. Im surprised this 5 footer is actually as loud as a normal sized suppressor😅
I’m baffled by how quiet it was!
The awkward silences and smiles are the cherry on top. Good shit.
Came back to watch this again. 2:35 is just... spectacular.
You should have gotten a decibel reader to see if the additional suppressors actually made it even quieter
you can hear it get quieter for sure, but it would’ve been dope to see by how much
My guess is that any of the suppressors that were getting hot/warm were still having an effect (and slowing/dissipating the gases) but anything past that didn't. Also, I think it would have been interesting to have done a supersonic vs subsonic comparison at each of the different lengths (though given he wasn't even sure if it would work, I can get why he didn't).
That’s exactly what I was thinking
@@hkfifty871 At a certain point, the muzzle blast would be completely suppressed, and all you'd hear is the action
Even with a BUNCH of suppressors, there’s probably some upper bound on how much decibel reduction you can obtain, and I doubt it would be enough to totally suppress the muzzle blast. Though I’d certainly love to see someone try.
That beginning setup just so you can use "glockamole" was a thing of pure beauty
I was not expecting that, I was watching and then afterwards, I had to take a double-take because I missed the "Glockamole", when I realised, I could not believe the epic event I was witnessing
@@AtomBomb420 same
I think Matt was 'baked' when he made that joke.
@@joecopeland4380 if matt was or not wither way still funny
I don’t know what’s better, coming around the tree and and only seeing a suppressor that keeps coming, or you blowing the smoke off the end. All stupid and glorious, it brought a tear to my eye
I love the eye contact with the squeaking. You had me laughing, so freaking hard.
The good thing about this suppressor is that you can't miss. It's so long that it's practically in the enemy's face.
Quiet _and_ accurate!
A Hitman’s dream!
"whats this hollow rebar doing here??"
Why use a laser when you can have a 10 ft suppressor?
I personally would of liked to have seen a Db meter to see the diminishing returns on using a smaller one vs a longer one. Great VId Matt!
Scam bot response aside,...jeeze I hate those things, I think that's an excellent idea. Matt should definitely revisit this,....for science you know........and maybe a few more dick jokes.
Coming to Demo Ranch expecting scientific data AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And a crono to see if the speed of the bullet is affected.
the Db meter might not make it super clear though, since the logarithmic math behind Db measurements means you'd need to do a whoooole lotta math to really see the data clearly.
@@soulis1000 Yup, I'd like to see that also
I think it would have been interesting if you had a decibel meter as you fired through each new section to see if each baffle reduced the sound and by how much.
Bro was definitely in the mood recording this
12:35 Imagine you're behind enemy lines, its all quiet, the enemy is waiting for you to make noise, and you had to put on your suppressors that sound like that lol
If you're going for an armed raid behind enemy lines without any sort of gun oil to slather on your squeaky suppressor or your gun, you were probably asking for trouble anyways :P
Its going to take 30 mins to get the gun into postition and youre going to be seen anyway. Imagine breaching and you traverse a corner. The baffle is going to get around 30 mins before you. Its like a yo momma joke.
@@timothychapman2840 ok but imagine the hilarity from the enemy POV. you see a suppressor start to pass by and prepare to fire, and it just keeps going for 5 ft before you eventually see the actual firearm and user xD
Oh my God your so right bra
Enemy: “Dafuq are they doing”
*and witnessing a suppressor, rising
I love how Matt always says “Place your bets in the comments below!” like he expects us to do it, but no one ever does. Matt, this is for you. I bet that the suppressor doesn’t break.
Yknow what?
I'll bet against you
I bet it does break
I can confirm that one of you is right
Hmm. I'll bet it doesn't break either. Maybe if it droops it might but I bet it won't break.
Thanks Matt, for listening to Matt.
I think most ppl know that creators ask for comments to boost the video in the algorithms. Kind of like when they put those stupid text things on screen for half a second , ppl then rewind a bunch of times and pause = higher video retention = boosted stats for the algo = higher views.
ok....long time watcher, moderate commenter.... but this is AWESOME!!!!!! i really want this product, especially the 9mm lol.

Matt went from wholesome TH-camr when he first started and now over the past couple of years has shown the real side of his humor. 😂
Ya…. He has
"will an erection, stop a 50 Cal?"
It's those darn Unsubscribe boys! They're a badddd influence on Matt!
😉
He's always had this sense of humour. Just doesn't get a massive erection on screen that often.
He's still wholesome tho
I cannot believe that you went through all that and didn't shoot a single 22 sub. Can you imagine how quiet that would have been?
Exactly what I was thinking!
The 22 was having issues with the regular rounds.
My thoughts
@@r3dp9 bro it’s a bolt action, it would cycle.
The issue with that is that it would 100% get stuck in the barrel/suppressor. Typically the max barrel length you should use .22 subs in is around 24 inches.
The ending, the last few seconds..you got me lmao
Wow, you sure have a long one! I hope it's fully functional. They all droop when they're too long. If yours is bigger I wanna see it. I don't think the extra baffles made it much quieter. I wish you had checked the velocity at the same time. Nice to see you. Good video. Pax.
I think the reason you only got the baffle strike while holding it is cause when it was tied down, the barrel wasn't swaying. However, when you held it, natural slight bodily movements happened causing the suppressor to sway while the bullet was shooting causing the baffle to get struck. This would actually be a pretty cool idea to completely silence a .50 bmg if you had supports to keep the suppressor from swaying.
Can you get subsonic.05 cal bmg bullets?
@@glenecollins There's little to no options for subsonic 12.7x99 really other than "50 Thumper" rounds that I've seen, they're supposed to shoot at 1050 FPS. Good luck finding any though lol
@@ScriptedLinks the fact you know the metric nomenclature of .50 bmg earned you a night with my small tiddy atfgf

The BOYOYOYOYYY at 6:51 got me fr
12:46 the funniest thing matt has done in a long time😂😂😂
If you load up the first couple of cartridges in each magazine with the little blue pills (Viagra) replacing the normal bullets it will fix your drooping problem. Just be aware that continuing to shoot it for periods longer than 4 hours may pose a serious risk and you should consult a Gunsmith.
Solid joke lol
@@alexandersadventuresoutdoo6393 thanks.
Thank you James Buckley. Very Cool

Matt -a grown ass man who is genuinely smart and highly educated- not being able to keep from laughing and making peepee jokes is the funniest thing I've seen all day! Love it!
be honest all the dudes in the audience were also laughing there ass off
He had me at boyyoyyoing!😂
Peepee jokes are timeless classic
The day peepee and fart jokes stop being funny is, I hope, my last.
You always forget that Matt is a literal licensed veterinarian
15:08 "don't look away from me" had me dieing
U need to 3d print supports for the suppressor or something to stop the droop
One could say it's "baffling" how the extremely long suppressors didn't just explode.
That was what some may call a good one my good man lol
One would only imagine an erection 69 links long would always explode 😉
Why would they explode?
Came to the comment section for this, not disappointed 😆
I mean. Why would they…
The amount of supressor length is absolutely BAFFLING 😂
thats what she said
Very punny
'Heh heh heh'
See what you did there : )
Thelordofguccii follow me here
This was the most hilarious of your videos I've seen!! 🤣🤣🤣
Every single time you put on more baffles I could feel my bones shivering 😖
Q has a sense of humor.
They definitely sent the right number of suppressor segments for suppression and to prevent deviation from the suppressor slumping.
I imagine they sent 7 suppressors' worth, minus the end cap. So each was really 70 pieces. Matt was just leaving that out for the sake of humor.
@@AgnumMD Given the names of all the Q products, I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt to them actually sending 69.
@@holdintheaces7468 Fair enough. I've never looked at their stuff.
I want to see the bloopers, from this 1. Especially the part where Matt is trying to describe what their doing and keeping it clean. Also, hearing the giggles and laughing, from off camera, makes it funnier.
imagine filming for matt and not being able to laugh. i could not. mans a riot lol
@@Sour_SkunK I wouldn't be able to hang out with him drinking a beer without laughing. Best genuine sense of humor on TH-cam.
Welp, it's not the longest anymore
Im baffled by these results!
I love that at 19:30 it managed to catch a very cinematographic failure to eject
I didnt even see! Thats funny as fuck.
MKE quality.
I’d be curious to see what happens to bullet velocity if measured with a chronograph as the suppressor gets longer and longer
this is what i'm wondering.
We're on the same wavelength, the more you suppress the less velocity you gain.
Also see how quiet you can get it. Using a hanger or barrel support so it doesn’t droop as much.
@@thehuntertyranni7497 yeah having that many baffles is gonna slow round down, and little .22 isn't gonna be going faster anymore, I suspect the .22 was dropping below supersonic and is why it got quieter
When matt touched the baffles and some of them where "cold", thats the point of diminishing returns. All the energy you lose from sound and velocity is converted to heat in a supressor. If very little heat is being exchanged, probably very little sound and velocity the bullet is losing. But yes, it would be very interesting to see all that data 🤣
Most people think that the hitman games and movies are inaccurate with the suppressors, but in reality you can make a pistol more quiet than a bow and arrow with the right ammo and suppressor
I love how it litterally wobbles and jiggles when firing
I've been watching this channel since before Microwave Mondays (If you know you know), and this has to be one of the funniest episodes I've ever watched. To see you go from "I don't want to get demonetized" to "Eff it" is fabulous.

The ending is absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂
perfect CQB.
need to make sure your elbow is not sticking out, so your silhouette is as compact as possible,
while operating with a compact SMG, properly suppressed for a stealth operation.
Scenario: You’re the lone survivor of your platoon. You’ve managed to find hiding behind enemy lines with enemy soldiers no more than 30 feet in any direction, and you know your only chance to make it home is with stealth and absolute silence. Your shots will definitely alert the surrounding 30 enemy soldiers. But you remember your Q silencer. It’s meant to be - silence is your plan to slowly eliminate them all 1 by 1. You’re ready. Your family runs through your head. Be silent, be still. Aim true. You begin attaching your silencer… 14:51

We've grown old and gray together Matt and you still always manage to get an authentic, jolly, belly laugh out of me every video. Thanks for that. Truly.
As a fellow subscriber for many years, I am very happy to hear that you get a good laugh and enjoy the videos like myself! Cheers!
Oh there's hundreds of thousands of us, I guarantee.
Upsets me He doesn’t use a table
every video 😆
Yeah me too. There are only a few TH-camrs I've stuck with since the start.
Shooting from a rest - no problem. Handheld, the rifle is moving, and so is the end of the suppressor. If it's vibrating when you pull the trigger, of course you'll get a baffle strike. If you shot from a tripod or shooting sticks, and waited for the suppressor to stop oscillating, you'd probably avoid a strike even handheld.
Also - there's this magical substance called "oil" - you should acquaint yourself with it so your fillings don't hurt and your eardrums don't leave you in the middle of the night. Although you CLEARLY enjoy the pain of listening.
Finally - suppressor test; dB meter needed. How quiet was it?????
It's a real testimonial to the quality of their machining that you can maintain linearity over that long a stretch. Nice product. I shudder to think of having to get all those suppressors past ATF and NFA nonsense - the people who think it's OK to play with people's hearing, with no earthly reason except that tyranny says they can.
Gotta double up on ear-pro when screwing them together 😂

Bro, The Glockamoly joke had me pissen... Matt, you are something else my dude.
I would like to hear the guns with NO suppressor, to compare with the sound made with suppressors installed. I also recommend getting a couple, maybe 3 microphone stands that can support the long suppressor assemblies at the far end, and in the center to minimize baffle strikes and shaving. If target shooting, using one stand in the middle will steady the aim, as well as keep the baffles on axis with the bullets.
