No but then I do not require hearing protection either.Have you shot with one?
Velocity is a factory of barrel, bullet and powder.No but then I do not require hearing protection either.
This might sound like a stupid question but do they do anything to increase velocity? Or are their other benefits other than noise reducation?
So not meaning to sound like a smart butt, doesn’t the suppressor increase barrel length?Velocity is a factory of barrel, bullet and powder.
But basically suppressors are like the best muzzle device you could have. There is no more effective device at controlling a barrel than a suppressor. The precision comp guys like to say they use them for everything but sound suppression, you have to wear hearing protection at a match anyway.
Rugged oculus is great.Just in case you aren't aware, you will have to pay $200 for a tax stamp to the government and wait 6 to 12 months for approval after you buy the silencer. NFA items are lifetime purchases, so dont cheap out. If you want a rimfire silencer, spend $400 on a Dead Air Mask, Rugged Oculus, or EA Nyx. Dont waste your time and money on junk cans.

Now I am going to have to do some research on how they accomplish their noise reductio.
ThanksNo. Barrel length that factors into velocity is rifled. A muzzle device does not increase velocity no matter how long. Suppressors are basically contained baffles that allow gas to expand in a controlled and confined space.
I was looking at them and am wondering if I can get a DECENT silencer for 200 dollars.Has anybody bought a 200 dollar silencer and been happy with it ? I heard of a company called REBEL SILENCERS and they want 200 for it,I heard a 22lr silencer at J/P GAME PRESERVE the other day on a s@w AR15 in 22.Dont know if its worth it, didnt seem quiet enough.How about BLACK ACES PRO SERIES silencers.Just debating about getting a silencer.
In before "suppressor"
It's a matter of how much you need to use one, and how important it is to you to have. The cool factor is undeniable. Just know they are a pain in the ass to clean, much more so than any firearm, because almost every particle which used to be ejected into the air, is now being captured inside your unit and it has to be purposely removed sooner or later (or the unit gets loud and/or becomes difficult to disassemble). So if you run any significant volume through them, you better plan on having an ultrasonic parts-washer and running it a bunch. If you're the kind of person who shoots your guns a long time between cleaning them, you and suppressors will _not_ get along well. It's like owning a cat. They have to have a litter box, it has to be emptied, and they never stop ing.
The proper term for a can or a suppressor.What's a silencer?
