and the way I understand it there is no velocity change and in some cases there can be a velocity increase with a can.
It would be a failing argument because it doesn't happen. There is more pressure behind the bullet in the suppressor, than the same bullet in the same position with the suppressor absent.could argue that some velocity is lost to a bit of the gasses being diverted into the baffles of the ca
Modern suppressors do not reduce velocity. If you have an "integral" suppressor that incorporates barrel ports, this can reduce velocity, but it is the ports that reduce velocity, not the suppressor itself.I do know and this maybe what you meant, if you install a suppressor, you will lose some velocity ( length bullet will travel accurately ).
In reality, most people see a slight accuracy increase in centerfire rifles when going from a bare muzzle to a suppressor.Actually a can is like a car muffler, it restricts airflow and makes the air around the bullet more turbulent.
If they had actually shot suppressors in real life, it would be easy to incorporate realistic downsides to suppressor use.
The two most obvious are heat and length.Now I am curious, what negative effects would that be?
weight too.Now I am curious, what negative effects would that be?

Supressor Consequences.
What are the effects a suppressor has on a gun? How does it affect velocity, barrel harmonics, and other such things.
A friend of mine told me that it makes the bullet weaker and that there will not be as much knockdown power. Is this true?
