Supressors are quite simple to make on your own and can be more quiet than the production ones .........just research it a little.

Are you sure about this? I believe that making one would be against the law unless you are a licensed manufacturer. Do you have any evidence to show that a homemade version is better than the production ones? This is the High Road after all, we demand proof to back up statements.

You can build a suppressor on a Form 1 just like you can build an SBR, but I highly doubt a homemade one would be anywhere near as effective as a top end commercial one. AAC, Gemtech, etc employ engineers and full R/D departments for a reason.

Zack is correct about the muzzle brake

The suppressor helps with muzzle jump and makes full auto a little more controllable. My wife and I noticed (while at the range today) that firing a pistol without the barrel attachments that it jumped upwards and back some. With the muzzle brake attached it jumped less, blew backwards harder and was louder. when we attached the suppressor the jump was very minimal, the force pushing back was greater, but the sound was much more pleasant to endure for the afternoon's venture.

I haven't tried the .338 Lapua, or the .50 BMG suppressed yet. I have always wondered if the addition of a can to the .50 BMG will get rid of that percussion you feel in your guts when your fire a .50 BMG rifle.

I have a few cans coming for some larger calibers rifles that I can't wait to try out.

Any idea how the FAL does with a suppressor compared to the .223 semi-auto? I have stories going 50:50 with it works, and it doesn't work. The suspense of not knowing is tormenting. I had to make the investment to find out for myself.
