Another Suppressor question

[islandermyk]

Okay... I see and read a handful of suppressor talk about how quite every suppressor-can and soda bottle can be... and no talk of potatoes
My question is: Using supersonic ammo (surplus, hand loads, 7.62x51 2800fps stuff..etc..) ... don't care much for the sub-sonic stuff. How much accuracy and effectiveness at longer ranges (500 yards and up) do you lose or gain having your rifle suppressed???

Looking for bullet drop data, type of rounds used when recorded, and anything else I left out... Comparing between shooting the rifle with and without the suppressor at the same known distances and with the same ammo. Anyone carrying any data and willing to share this would be greatly appreciated! Just want to get a general idea of other benefits of using a suppressor aside the tacticoolness of keeping it little more quite

With a good quality can like Thunderbeast, Shark or Sure-Fire there is no accuracy loss.

A can will sometimes change your point of impact, but that just cause you are hanging a 1+ pound weight on the end of your barrel.

So there isn't a difference between shooting longer ranges passed 500 yards with a can and without one? Hhhmmm... I'ma have to get one

Thank you

The bullet doesn't actually touch the can; unless you have a model that uses wipes.

.. the bullet leaves the barrel before the gases do, right?
So in theory the bullet leaves the can before the gas does.. thus suppressing.
So when a round is shot without a suppressor the bullet leaves the barrel the same time as the gases do?

I'm not good with physics... Just trying to make sense of things but does the gases in any way affect the trajectory of the round exiting the barrel?

Thank you guys for chiming in Just one of'em weird things that went through my head... which I'm actually thinking about getting a can

The way a suppressor works is it gives the gasses a place to disperse, expand, and cool a little, and from what I understand the bullet does leave the can before the gasses. If you know anything about cars, just think of it as a muffler on your exhaust... same concept.

A suppressor will cut felt recoil too most of the time.

A bullet stops accelerating once it leaves the barrel. The little bit of gasses following it out probably has an infinitesimal effect.

typcially people see a .5" - 1" POI change depending on the range and of course the shooter. its easy enough to compensate for or just zero around.
