Rifle Suppressors... worth it with Super Sonic ammo?

[Sam7sf]

I have 5. Need I say more?

I still have one. Someday I'll have more suppressors than the number I know how to count to.

I wouldn't get any multical suppressors. My Hybrid 46 on my AR15 is barely something I'd like to shoot without hearing protection on. SUPER LOUD, but 200 yards away a girl said she couldn't even hear it. I have no idea how.

A lot to talk about here. Open field? The hybrid doesn't reduce DB levels like other cans. It's just a middle of the road can. I myself prefer to leave the end cap stock. I feel over bore cans produce a deeper tone. I use my hybrid on my ruger American ranch in 223, cmmg in 7.62x39, and subs in my pc9. Now also on my TC compass 308. Guess I'm just used to it. But don't value your hearing dude. It's pretty sweet only hearing 50 percent. I'm not kidding. It's nice.

A lot of middle of the road cans that may be only 5-8 db's off from another. I say only but to your ears it may sound like a lot more.

Too late but this site is great.

Suppressor Sound Rankings — PEW Science

What is the quietest silencer for your suppressed firearm? The quietest suppressor for your use case is listed on this page with detailed links to the Silencer Sound Standard test data. PEW Science test data with PEW-SOFT is the most accurate suppressor test data available.

This guy tests suppressors at the ear and muzzle. You can filter down to a SBR MK18 with supersonic out of a good amount of cans. He can’t test everything but a lot of popular suppressors are on the site and the results are interesting. Best dedicated can for 5.56 currently is a printed model.

Very cool site.

The hardest part of trying to compare suppressors is, everyone uses different numbers. They have trademarked they’re own numbering scale, that doesn’t compare to any other site.

The Ops Inc 12th model/AEM5, is about the quietest dedicated 5.56 can that I’m aware of. I was hoping they had tested it, but they didn’t.

No sir. I have a calculated long term plan to destroy my ears so I can enjoy retirement.

You see me wearing headphones or plugs? And I still hear fairly well.

I was at a shoot many years ago where the landowner (millionaire) used shot .308 brass. He turned down numerous offers of ear plugs & headphones.

I only do multi cal cans. My other can is a Rugged Obsidian 45 so it can shoot everything pistol related. I'm willing to give up a few dB to be able to use it on everything.

I'm going to be at the memorial meet. I'll bring it and all the rifles I use it on. I think it's loud as hell maybe you can convince me otherwise. Thanks!

Lol deal

Shooting supers, I think both would be on the verge of hearing safe. Supposedly 556 comes in high 130's or low 140's dB with the razor. I'm more curious about x39 and how it suppresses.

Damn you guys

Hopefully you did an efile, I'm going on 15 months for can from Silencer Shop.

cmmg mutant with the hybrid it is then.

Ah hell, I don't know, did whatever the website walked me through. Not my first can, so the wait should be a lot easier this go round.

So I just got my very first suppressors (Silencerco Omega 36m and Sig SR22) a month back. It definitely cuts down on the noise quite a bit but Id still wear hearing protection. I think id probably buy a dedicated 556 can that reduces the most amount of dbs though

The omega is a good multi use suppressor

I'm ordering allt he parts for my 6.5 Grendel Pistol.. IF I get it put together before then we'll test it out there.

The big bore cans are less effective. There’s a noticeable difference between a .46 caliber can and a .30 caliber can.

I didn't catch the .46 part. I went with a 7.62 can so it should fare better in that respect

Yeah, I'm not sure if they still offer both paper and eforms. All my stuff was in line from the beginning, and it's not my first NFA run either.

Surely it was an efile.

I run a 30cal Sandman L on my hunting gun. It’s quieter than my old 5.56 YHM Phantom by far.

 

[KJQ6945]

In most instances, 30 caliber is the way to go. Just like .45 for a pistol can.

 

[TexasRedneck]

I've hunted suppressed for over 6 years now - the reduction in recoil, coupled w/the noise reduction is WELL worth it - I shoot a 7mm mag.

Have a friend who is running the Rugged Surge on his bolt gun(s) and the Rugged Razor on his MSR(s). He spent quite a bit of time talking with the folks at Rugged before making his decision. They were willing to spend as much time as he needed and answer his questions without him feeling pressured or hurried.

Rugged is a good company with good products.....I recommend them.....and yes I have Rugged suppressor.......

Which does he like better? I've enjoyed my Rugged Obsidian 45 so far, and I liked their muzzle devices so I gave them another chance.

I’m a Dead Air guy. They gave me two free cans. That buys some loyalty.
