Hickok45 demonstrates the effectiveness of the Banish 45 suppressor on an MP5 by testing different 9mm ammunition weights. He highlights that 150-grain subsonic rounds significantly reduce the sound signature compared to 115 and 124-grain supersonic loads, which still produce a noticeable crack. The video emphasizes the importance of choosing the right ammunition for optimal suppressed performance.

Quick Summary

Hickok45 tests the Banish 45 suppressor on an MP5 using 9mm ammunition. He found that 150-grain subsonic rounds were significantly quieter than 115-grain and 124-grain supersonic loads, which still produced a noticeable sonic crack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What suppressor is used on the MP5 in this video?

The video features the Heckler & Koch MP5 equipped with a Banish 45 suppressor from Silencer Central. Hickok45 tests its effectiveness with different 9mm ammunition weights.

Does subsonic ammunition make a difference when suppressing a 9mm MP5?

Yes, subsonic 150-grain 9mm ammunition is significantly quieter than supersonic 115-grain or 124-grain loads when fired suppressed from an MP5. Supersonic rounds still produce a noticeable crack.

What types of 9mm ammunition were tested for sound suppression?

Hickok45 tested three different 9mm ammunition weights: 115-grain, 124-grain, and 150-grain. The 150-grain subsonic rounds provided the best sound reduction.

What is the main takeaway regarding suppressed MP5 shooting?

The key takeaway is that using heavier, subsonic ammunition is crucial for achieving optimal sound suppression on firearms like the MP5. Lighter, supersonic rounds will still create a sonic crack.
