If one were to want to make the loudest combination of caliber and muzzle break / compensator, what would make a good combination, realistically.
Can't afford 338 Lapula or 50BMG.
Something that is usable, but makes the neighbor crap his pants.
 
Pick any LA magnum, in a 20" or less barrel, screw on biggest competition brake you can find, or three chamber tactical job. Enjoy
 
The works and tin foil in a soda bottle shake and throe
 
300WinMag otta do it.


My 12.5" SBR with brake is fairly obnoxious, but in the higher register of cracking.

I ain't a tree hugger but the Works ain't good for the grass or if you have dogs who go nose to the ground often. Dry ice doesn't leave trace chemicals.

Just a little hint ... if you have a stupid dog(s) who love to play fetch (like a crazy Lab who will remain nameless) make sure he stays in the house!

ETA: not that I have done a ton of experiments but a 16oz coke bottle seems to do better than most for some reason. The only problem is you have to slip the dry ice pieces to size to fit in the slender neck. A good old butcher knife and and a scrap piece of lumber to sit it on while you cleave it works well.
 
The Bushmaster Y brake from the ban error
Y Brake huh? Never knew that's what it's called. It came on my first AR I bought during the ban. Loud? Shyt yeah, and my BIL hates spotting for me at the same bench. Quite the percussion...
Only pic I can find of it

Get the Two-Liter Empty Bottle of Gatorade. Fill it 3/8 full of water and bend it in half. Then fill in the Dry Ice, keeping it bent. Screw the top back on it and toss it where you want.

It's going to get loud.

I loaded up a 100 round drum and did a mag dump. After I was done no one was left on the firing line and people was leaving. Might be exaggerating a little. But it's the most obnoxious thing in the world.
 
Tannerite is pretty good for annoying the neighbors
Yes, Tannerite. It's the kinda loud that echos like thunder. Jump out of your seat and spill your coffee loud, if you're not expecting it.
I think that's what you want. At least the stuff we used was that way. Double up if you want. But be safe.

If it has to be a gun, yes the AR pistols are plenty loud or borrow a 4" Model 29 S&W with a Magna-Ported barrel. That's smack you in the face loud.

But, Tannerite or a sub for it would still be my first choice. You can jazz it up by sounding 3 blast from an air horn first, if you're REALLY trying to annoy him.

If you have a fire pit, you can take one or more of those empty wide mouth beer cans with the screw on top, and toss it on the hot coals. They make a pretty good boom. Of course, I wouldn't stand too close waiting for the can to explode.
 
Who posted the video the other day of the Loudener brake?

I think it's called the Mini-Y

But if you google Bushmaster Y, the results are hilarious with the complaints of how bad the concussion is.

The Mini Y Comp has two holes in each side. The Y Comp has three.
 
Oxygen and propane or acyetelyne in a balloon light with a model rocket ignitor or a long flaming stick for ignition. Caution the gas molicules will leak thru the balloon and light off of the cigerette in your mouth. Ask me how I know. This will rattle his windows with a standard size balloon. Huge concusion. Hearing protection is a must.

I've been down that road before.... Town I grew up in had a foundry. When the workers would get bored they'd fill a large garbage bag...

Oxygen in a garbage bag will float away. A toilet paper tail, lit with a match, will get you a three day vacation from high school.

Shooting a potato cannon at empty rail cars while the train is going by will get you a visit from the railroad police.

We used to cut the tops and bottoms out of four or five soda cans, with the last one being intact except opened and a hole in the bottom the size of a ball point pen. Tape them all together with masking tape (in lieu of duct tape). Squirt some lighter fluid copiously in the small hole. Swing this thing all around like a ball bat, and put a match or lighter to the small hole.

BOOM!
