Shooting the Saker 762 on my MK18 "firearm" build, my MK12 clone build, and my 300 Blackout PDW all at 50 yards on a 2/3rds scale man size silhouette steel target.
The MK12 hearing safe but the MK18 is not. The 300 Blackout is the quietest with 200 Grn. Subsonic ammo from S&B, it's like someone slamming a car door. The plate ringing is louder than the MK12 and 300 blackout.
