Chris Mudgett (founder of EchoCore Suppressors) joins Live Fire Media to explain why he left B&T USA to build his own line of high-performance silencers. We break down EchoCore's game-changing XCR technology, their 1st & 2nd place wins at the 2025 Silencer Summit, reduced back pressure designs, and more. We also discuss how simple Silencer Shop has made buying NFA items, an optic-mounted rangefinder/ballistic calculator, and the unforgettable "trailer park" booth at SHOT Show.

Today's Topics:1. Today we are launching Section 8 of the Silencer Sound Standard: SSS.8 – Advanced Silencer Research. Outside of public view, PEW Science performs a significant amount of testing and engineering analysis on a variety of systems; most of which is never published. Not everything has to remain behind closed doors. Section 8 of the Standard presents further research advancements that are cleared for public release. (00:04:02)2. The first section in Section 8 is live today with this episode! The first report in this section is SSS.8.1.1 - Introducing PEW-SOFT HD Hazard Maps. The Suppression Rating has made you powerful.

Silencer Shop founder, Dave Matheny, breaks down their lawsuit against the ATF and the current state of suppressor regulations.The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of keeping suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and Any Other Weapons (AOWs) under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The aim is to eliminate outdated, costly, and restrictive regulations that encumber lawful gun owners, with support drawn from historical precedent and recent legislative momentum around H.R.1, the “Big Beautiful Bill”.As always, we want to hear your feedback!

Silencer Shop vs. ATF: Breaking Down the $0 Tax Lawsuit & Suppressor Deregulation - In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, Ryan Gresham sits down with Dave Matheny, founder of Silencer Shop, to unpack a major legal battle that could redefine suppressor ownership in the U.S. They break down the recently filed Silencer Shop Foundation vs. ATF lawsuit, aiming to remove suppressors, short-barrel rifles, and shotguns from the National Firearms Act (NFA) — and it all hinges on the new $0 tax stamp.Dave explains how technology, legislation, and growing mainstream use are transforming the silencer market, and what it means for gun owners. From lightning-fast wait times to the rise of 3D-printed suppressors, the future is loud — or rather, quiet.This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by SnapSafe, Colt, First Person Defender, Guns & Gear, and Ruger.Check out the NEW First Person Defender YouTube channel HERE.About Gun Talk Nationun Talk Media's Gun Talk Nation with Ryan Gresham is a weekly multi-platform podcast that offers a fresh look at all things firearms-related.
