The 50 BMG Pistol Suppressed (How Quiet Is Subsonic 50 BMG ???)

Published on June 9, 2025
Duration: 10:31

This video tests the suppressed Noreen .50 BMG Pistol with subsonic ammunition. The setup utilizes a CGS suppressor and Hornady 750-grain subsonic rounds to significantly reduce noise and recoil, making it more hearing-safe. While effective at reducing the supersonic crack, subsonic rounds may exhibit stability issues at longer ranges and show less expansion on impact.

Quick Summary

The Noreen .50 BMG Pistol was tested suppressed with Hornady 750-grain subsonic ammunition and a CGS suppressor. This setup significantly reduces noise and recoil, eliminating the supersonic 'crack'. However, subsonic rounds may face stability issues at longer ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Noreen .50 BMG Pistol quieter when suppressed?

The Noreen .50 BMG Pistol is made quieter by using a CGS .50 BMG suppressor and subsonic ammunition. Subsonic rounds travel below the speed of sound, eliminating the loud 'crack', while the suppressor further contains and muffles the gunshot noise.

What type of ammunition was used in the suppressed .50 BMG pistol test?

The test utilized Hornady 750-grain subsonic .50 BMG ammunition. This specific load is designed to travel slower than the speed of sound, which is crucial for achieving a quieter shooting experience when paired with a suppressor.

Are subsonic .50 BMG rounds accurate at long range?

While subsonic .50 BMG rounds significantly reduce noise, they may experience stability issues at longer ranges in certain configurations. This can potentially impact their accuracy compared to standard supersonic loads.

What is the recoil like on a suppressed .50 BMG pistol?

Even when suppressed, the .50 BMG cartridge generates substantial recoil due to its large caliber. However, using subsonic ammunition and a suppressor does noticeably reduce the felt recoil compared to firing unsuppressed standard loads.
