[QUOTE="JP100, post: 846539, member: 37880"] Supressors are legal here in NZ and we have 5 rifles with them .22lr,.223,.22-250,.243 and a 7mm rem mag. its hard to explain the noise reduction but it makes the shot sound kinda like a loud whistle. there is no big boom or crack as there usually is. you can comfortably shoot a 7mm rem mag with no hearing protection. There is still a noise from the supersonic "crack" but it sounds kinda like a whistle. Animals can still hear the noise but it is confusing for them. and I believe at longer ranges(past 300yards) the noise the target hears originates right above their head and they cannot pin point the location on the shooter. I have found this to be true in alot of situations. they are great when shooting with a spotter as you can talk and communicate easily.there is still alot of noise if you are directly near the front of the barrel. here suppressors for most calibers weigh 300-500grams(10-17 ounces) and can be around 10 inches long. what they do is trap the expanding gases from the barrel and thus slow down the noise so it is spread over a longer time duration so seems "suppressed". we have had a couple of guns shortened so the over all length is much the same. people have found the suppressors can boost velocity as they make the barrel in effect longer. suppressors also reduce recoil by around 50%. they arnt as good as muzzel brake for recoil reducing. As a suppressor traps all the gas from a shot they get very HOT. like real hot real fast. this is one thing I dont not like about them but it is only a factor if you are firing more then 3 shots really. generally you wont see suppressors on guns bigger than a .7mm rem mag or .300 mag as there is too much expanding gas to be contained. suppressor size is usually based therefore on the powder charge being burnt not the caliber/velocity. Also most guns will have a change of impact with the suppressor fitted/removed. this is usually do added weight on barrel and reduced recoil changes your shooting position. hope this gives some insight into real suppressors not an oil filter on the end of a barrel.
