Suppressor basics and everything you need to know!

When I see a cutaway image of supressors that cost from $800 on up, I'm amazed at the gall, and the balls the industry has to ask such prices. Kooky man!

[@ericb.4358]

Currently (2024) the ONE suppressor basic you should know is that SIG/SAUER makes the BEST suppressor for pulling gas flow AWAY from the shooter.The new suppressors for the M5 battle rifle and M250 light machine gun have baffles that are printed because the design is too difficult to machine.

[@BlackFlagArmory]

They are great cans! We're also loving some of the designs from CGS and HUXWRX at the moment as well.

[@robertkoonce8365]

What people tend to not understand or convey in these videos, is that the sonic crack made by the projectile follows the projectile closely. Which, is why it's directed away from the shooter. At 2500 fps, it only takes a millisecond to get away from the point of origin.

How do you know if the QD suppressors like the SOCOMs will fit on a certain muzzle device? Do you have to buy a specific comp, or will it fit on any comp/flash hider?

[@BlackFlagArmory]

Most companies will have specific muzzle devices for their QD suppressors. So if you're looking at the Surefire Socom suppressors you'll be using Surefire's muzzle devices that are " Suppressor adaptors" in order to use their QD suppressors.

Question: How would you choose a can for a 14.5 inch barrel with a pinned and welded muzzle device? How would you know what's compatible?

[@TheTrueDoomSlayer]

That depends first on the state you're in and if you're allowed to modify that. If you are and you need to get that unwelded and unpin so you can direct thread a suppressor to your barrel. Or get a muzzle device that allows you to thread to it.

[@sirmaxwellvonfleckenstein5376]

Very helpful. Can you use a 9 mm pistol can on a 9mm 16" carbine? Any special considerations in doing that?

[@BlackFlagArmory]

Absolutely you can!

[@GWittstorm]

Do suppressors usually come with everything to run on a 300 and 5.56 or do you have to buy separate parts to make them work on both?

[@BlackFlagArmory]

Usually, you need a second muzzle device for quick detach suppressors, or a thread adapter for direct thread suppressors.

[@nozrep]

i used to want one but i am like a cheapo penny pincher and after i learned how they actually work and how they do not really suppress super sonic crack that well, I’ve decided to spend extra suppressor money on ammo instead. I’d personally, rather prefer to learn better cover and concealment techniques, if I were to ever have to be in a gun battle or something like that. Nevertheless, I do like to learn and relearn just in case I do end up getting one.

Can you use a 9mm suppressor on a 22lr ..if the suppressor has a adaptor 1/2 x 28 and a 1/2 x 36 ??

Yep, you sure can. There will be a bit of loss of suppression because of how much larger the bore of the suppressor is than that .22lr round, but it will work just fine for you. Give it a shot!

But I want to know what my options are. What is more suitable for me? Purpose is: apocalypse weapon system. I'm looking for a suppressor that will give the best flash suppression. Reliability, while under heavy use, and is light weight. I live in a climate that can get down to -70F, (-20 avarage) in winter; winter is about 3/4 of the year here. And 80F in the summer Conditions are mostly dusty and dry. I know there probably isn't the perfect product out there for me and that's ok.

Dont know if you'll see this, but got some questions.

Do i have to repeat these, or can the ATF access the fingerprints already in the system? 2) i do not have a passport, never have and probably won't for a good while. Do i have to get a passport just for the purchase of a suppressor?
