Suppressing supersonic ammunition effectively
One of the most common misconceptions when it comes to firearms is that you can’t suppress supersonic ammunition. This is false. In reality, suppressing supersonic ammo is one of the most fun things you can do with a gun from Thunder Beast Arms by Omaha Outdoors. However, the suppression will still be above the noise levels most people are comfortable with, yet it is not so loud that you will need additional ear protection to enjoy shooting supersonic rounds.
Sonic boom in a gun
Sonic boom is a loud crack that occurs when the speed of the bullet crosses the sound barrier. A sonic boom only occurs in supersonic ammunition, but it only becomes profound when working with large caliber bullets. The difference in sounds from a subsonic round and a supersonic round is very little when a smaller round such as a .22 caliber is considered. However, the difference is quite stark when you consider larger caliber bullets.
Experimenting with suppressors on supersonic ammo
Small caliber rounds such as 9mm and lower do not necessarily require a suppressor when firing supersonic rounds. This is because their loudness is quite comfortable even at close ranges, and you don’t really require a hearing aid. In fact, if you want to know how effective a suppressor really is with supersonic ammo, you have to try it out with a .22 round. The difference is like day and night. Higher, full power rounds like .270 or .308 and high power rounds like the .338 Luapa are quite comfortable with a good suppressor.
Additional benefits of a suppressor
Apart from making your gun shots quieter, using a suppressor also brings with it additional benefits, such as reduced recoil. Since a suppressor channels the spent gasses more effectively, it also helps reduce recoil of the gun. Reduced recoil means a more stable gun position, which aids in precision accuracy. This comes in handy if you are hunting from far off distances, where even a fractional change in gun position will alter the bullet trajectory greatly.
If you are a novice trying out suppressors for the first time, it is recommended that you fire subsonic ammo before you move on to supersonic rounds. This is to ensure that you appreciate the operation of the suppressors, and it will give you a greater respect for how well supersonic ammo performs with a suppressor.
