The Thunder Beast Silencer Summit fires every suppressor entered on the same gun, with the same equipment. AEM4 was measured in 3 tests. Figures can only be compared with others from the same test, so each one links to everything else fired on that gun.

Manufacturer claim
- The AEM4 features the same baffle section as the AEM5, so sound suppression is similar, while using a shorter B-Mount mounting length that enables compatibility with smaller barrels than the longer AEM5. AEM2, AEM3, and AEM4 share the B-Mount style, which requires 2.05″ from the muzzle to the taper for proper mounting.
