Silencer Size : The similar can be said for silencers. So short barrel rifles, for example, will ultimately be louder than their regular-lengthed barrel counterparts because a longer barrel will use up more of the propellant as the bullet travels through the barrel, leading to less “explosion” when it leaves the barrel and enters the atmosphere. Length (and Size)īarrel Length :This might sound super obvious, but we’re going to say it anyway: the shorter barrel, the louder the sound. This is why subsonic ammo is considered the best option for shooting firearms with a suppressor, because it ultimately moves slower than the speed of sound. In order to eliminate this crack, your bullet cannot pass the sonic barrier, which would then be considered a subsonic round.
#Silenced 308 subsonic crack#
In layman terms, subsonic ammo operates below the speed of sound.Īlternatively, supersonic means that the projectile exceeds the speed of sound, which in turn creates a sonic “boom” or “crack.” This discernible crack is perceived as a louder noise to the human ear.
supersonic : When describing ammunition, subsonic is used when the maximum velocity of the projectile of that particular load does not exceed the speed of sound (at sea level) when fired out of that specific barrel length. Alternatively, if the bore size is large compared to the projectile shooting through it, there is more opportunity for the gas to follow the bullet out of the end of the firearm, making it louder at the muzzle. If the caliber to bore ratio is small, the firearm might be louder at the ear on a gas operated semi-automatic, due to a tighter tolerance between the projectile and the silencer’s bore, which forces more gas back through the gun. On the flip side, suppressing smaller calibers tends to give you an astoundingly quiet set up.Ĭaliber to silencer bore ratio : If you think of the combustion that is happening when you fire a round through a suppressed firearm, think about all of that energy needing to go somewhere. As you get into bigger calibers that offer more powerful options, you’re using more gun powder, meaning it’s ultimately going to be louder. Not only are rimfire suppressors usually the most economical choice, but it’s also the closest to Hollywood quiet that you’re going to get. This is one of the biggest reasons why first time buyers purchase a rimfire silencer first. The explosion that is caused is what makes the noise loud, so a smaller cartridge would mean that it would be quieter. The cartridge is the most impactful because it literally determines the amount of boom there is.

We all want our suppressor-firearm duo to live up to its full potential. Things like ammo, barrel length, environment, and even silencer size all play a distinct part. By far the question we get asked most frequently is what is the quietest suppressor available? No pun intended, but what a loaded question! There are a good amount of attributes to consider when you talk about the quietest suppressor.
