Is there a prize awarded for the thread with the most posts? We may have a winner here. Now I am going to have to find another $1200+ to buy a suppressor. I hope I don't see another rifle I want while making the purchase.

Just temporary loss, when she leaves the room it magically reappears.

Rifle shots causes hearing loss. And that hearing loss is damage that can lead to deafness. Even if it doesn't cause deafness there can be some serious risks due to hearing loss. One of them is dementia. Not to mention quality of life diminishes. If I could afford it I'd suppress my firearms. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/the-hidden-risks-of-hearing-loss

Here is a 28 Nosler shooting a 195 Berger Elite over 86.0gr RL33 @ 3068fps on steel at 1008 yards with a Silencerco Omega 300 attached.
Anyone that shoots a cartridge like the 28 Nosler knows they are no joke. Add a brake, and they are obnoxious. All the other shooting you hear is from another shooting platform about 150' away.

There are certain topics on any gun forum that by nature will take more turns than the Colorado River.
Brakes, Silencers, cartridges, scopes, lots of passionate topics to get riled up about. Life is easier when one doesn't try push their opinions on others, and I find it easier never to ask for opinions either. Make a choice and live with it.
Other than committing felonies and getting caught, we can back out of the majority of decisions we make. The ability to laugh at those poor choices is what gives us character, lol

Kind of apples to oranges, but...
Sorry for the stupid sounding laugh and the foul language at the end of each video.....
6CM suppressed vs .300NMI braked

HAHAHA! What a great example. Now, someone sit here and try to argue the fact that that HUGE dust cloud in the second video is super awesome to deal with.

Yeah. Blew dust all over my other rifles. After that shot, I went and moved them all back. And that is NOT a radial brake, side port only.
I've seen shooters get their $4000 optic objective lens sand blasted by a braked shooter being next to them.
