The assessment of the risk posed by firearm noise is complicated by the divergence in the allowable numbers of rounds (ANORs) returned by the available damage-risk criteria (DRCs) for impulsive noises. The ANORs returned by DRCs are strongly intercorrelated, but wide differences exist in absolute ANORs. Some firearms have suppressors and/or discharge low-velocity ammunition, both of which increase the ANORs. The extent to which suppressors and low-velocity ammunition alter the relationships among ANORs has not been determined. In this presentation, we present ANORs across many DRCs for 14 civilian firearms (3 handguns, 10 rifles, 1 shotgun) as a function of suppressor and ammunition. Results will be compared against DRC intercorrelations observed across 54 unsuppressed firearm conditions.
