Time and time again I keep reading from those of you that are in the US that "a suppressor is NO use unless you have subsonic ammo".
"The *CRACK* form the bullet is so loud a suppressor has no use"...
and so on.
This is a grave missunderstanding!
A suppressed firearm is much more comfortable to shoot than one without a suppressor, even with supersonic ammunition.
What the suppressor does is reduce the velocity of the GASSES coming out, letting them out over an extended period (compared to without a suppressor).
This reduces or eliminates the muzzle blast or repport.
A supersonic bullet will still be loud, but not that loud.
The BOOM you hear is mostly the muzzle blast.
You can without any problem, and with only slight discomfort shoot supersonic ammo without additional hearing protection.
Outdoors is no problem, and I have myself shot 5-6 rounds indoors with a suppressed .223, after that, it became too uncomfortable.
Please STOP believing that hollywierd makes documentaries about the use and effects of firearms! It only makes yourself look ignorant.
