Been thinking of selling off some "inventory" and jumping into a suppressor or two. I have no experience with them and what Im thinking is getting one for an AR and utilize it with a 10/22 as well. I also like the integrated one that goes with a 10/22 and looks like a bull barrel. Are these a waste of money or, practical?
Any thoughts from the "panel?" Like to hear about them from some of you with the real world experience.

I sent you a message back. would the resident scientific guru like to way in on the internals of cans all most being created equally? The guys at the shop make all their own and stated the major difference between theirs and a name brand was the name. Stated a K baffel is a K baffel. I asked them the decibel reduction of their cans and he said they have not ran any test, but that they could shot a .50 BMG all day with no ears on, outside. For the price it is going to be hard to pass on.

I like them
K baffle is good will post some links soon
Tried out the oil filter version in the video and another version I will post and they work for a time but interfere with sights, if it is a mostly used for weapon sights can be raised, but I wouldn't like to do that (the oil filter) as a regular thing. License/tax is $200. Cans from $300 to $3000 more isn't always better and less usually is not either.

I'm going for practical. We had some aggressive squirrels that needed killing.
However, shooting out the back door resulted in one of the cats shaking her head all day. So I told DH he needed to get a suppressor if he was going to do that.
Bad squirrels gone.
Cats hearing saved.
DH got a cool new toy.
Win all around.
forgot to add which option he got . I think he has 1 for the .22 and a seperate one for the AR. I'll have to get the details.

Glock 17 and a AR... Note the sound difference between 147 gr. and 115 gr. bullets.

have shot squirrels out the back door in town with these even rats inside an abandon house in town, no one knew or heard, very quite just slow down the speed of the projectile below subsonic no all will not be as quiet as they might be with a can, and some semi and auto weapons will not cycle once the speed is too low. I have even loaded some subsonic AK47, an advantage of reloading, and they are quieter but not as quiet as they could be, but an AK or AR sounding like a .22 is not a bad thing. Slowing the projectile down increases the drop rate and decreases the impact on target Not so you would not want to do it but enough that you have to take those things into account when using a can or a subsonic round. A can redistributes the force behind the powder charge, subsonic just takes it away at the firing. A can is a better solution for some applications Watch movies, you can reduce the noise with a pillow or a blanket roll, a oil filter or a muffler, but many options require the shooter to pay a tax on the device, while subsonic loads are legal and require no additional goberment intervention beyond the purchace. www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-066www.midwayusa.com/product/2506295321/aguila-super-colibri-ammunition-22-long-rifle-20-grain-lead-solid-pointwww.aguilaammo.com/rimfire.html |
