Now I've shot all sorts of weapons, from black powder to. I started off with a pellet gun, and then went to.
#Are subsonic rounds weaker how to#
My dad saw that I had interest in firearms, so he taught me how to shoot when I was about 10. And interest in guns is nothing out of the ordinary. Besides almost never happening, the last two to make the national news were committed by a psychopathic adult. A kid has a far better chance of being struck by lightning or attacked by a shark than to be involved in a school shooting. Well, unless it remains unfired.ĭon't worry.

Lastly, all the movies and TV shows where you see a revolver with a silencer.LOAD OF CRAP!!!īecause of the gap between the front of the cylinder and the back of the barrel, a revolver cannot be effectively silenced. On pistols, such as the "hush-puppy" the suppressor is for shooting sentry dogs up close, w/o making too much noise-hence the name. Used on a long gun a silencer/suppressor does not so much silence the weapon as it hides the flash, and dissapates the sound so that counter snipers cannot tell where the shot came from.

This also cuts down on the rounds plowing thru walls and hitting uninvolved parties.Ī round that is not sub-sonic will still make the noise of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. This with sub-sonic rounds that will generate enough "oomph" to reliable cycle the action of the weapon. On the MP5 H&K, (One of the worlds primary CQB weapons) the longest shot will likely be no longer than the length of a room. 22 calibers, since anything larger would have a load behind it that would neccesitate a silencer as big or bigger than the pistol it is attached to, as well as having the supersonic velocity to deal with.Ī suppressor, is for the purpose of stealth.Īlmost all silenced weapons are used at what Massad Ayoob & Bill Jordan refer to as "conversational distances" (7-12 yards). That is, the round itself as it travels through the air is contributing to the noise, literally with a micro-sonic "boom". This would affect the round, possibly even inducing a tumble mechanism to the trajectory, which would effect accuracy. Also the gas dissipation drops the pressure from the expanding gas from about 3000 psi (varies with caliber) to around 60 to 90 psi, all before the actual round leaves the end of the silencer. If the silencer ID was the same as the pistol barrel and rifled, this might be true, but it's larger and depending on the design, baffled on the ID to dissipate the gas charge. First, all silencers are barrel extensions. If you get a 500 pack there will be a small discount anyway.īetter to buy in bulk, shoot a hundred or so to test then sell what you don't need. 22LR ammo shortage coming (if not already in force). I don’t have money to burn so buying 500 then finding out the rifle doesn’t like itĭisagree with you there mate, thread on here talking of a. When I find out what it likes then ill buy 500’s Would be much happier if the limit was scrapped as there is no limit for shotgun rounds as long as they are not slugs, which is pretty stupid.

22LR (not enough!) and was told that is considered to be a lot! Here in the UK we have stupid ammo limits, I'm on 1500 for. Usually land up shooting around 50-100 in one range session, so no point finding a 'magic' load that shoots great in your rifle, only to get back to the shop and they have sold out or you buy another lot of the same ammo which is totally different and you are back to square one. Personally would not bother buying any less of one type in a quantity of 500-1000 or more, especially with ammo shortages being an issue (maybe you could sell/trade whatever didn't shoot?). When you say packets do you mean a pack of 50/100 or a brick of 500?
