Suppressed .22LR Velocity Test – Barrel Length Comparison!

Published on September 24, 2025
Duration: 15:56

This video conducts a comparative velocity test of various .22LR firearms with different barrel lengths, using both suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. The presenter utilizes a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to measure muzzle velocities of Federal standard velocity and Aguila Super Extra Hollow Point ammunition. The tests highlight the significant impact of barrel length on projectile velocity, with longer barrels generally yielding higher speeds.

Quick Summary

This .22LR velocity test compares firearms like the M&P Compact, Volquartsen Mamba, Ruger 10/22, and Marlin Model 60 across various barrel lengths (3.5" to 22"). Using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and Federal/Aguila ammunition, the tests demonstrate that longer barrels significantly increase muzzle velocity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were used in the .22LR velocity test?

The video tested the M&P 22 Compact (3.5-inch barrel), Volquartsen Mamba, Ruger 10/22 (16-inch barrel), and Marlin Model 60 (22-inch barrel) for .22LR velocity comparisons.

How does barrel length affect .22LR velocity?

Longer barrels generally result in higher muzzle velocities for .22LR ammunition. The Marlin Model 60 with a 22-inch barrel consistently produced the highest velocities, while the M&P Compact with a 3.5-inch barrel yielded the lowest.

What ammunition types were used in the .22LR velocity test?

The test utilized Federal Standard Velocity (rated 1200 fps) and Aguila Super Extra Hollow Point (rated 1280 fps) .22LR ammunition to measure velocity differences across various firearms.

What chronograph was used for the .22LR velocity tests?

The presenter used the Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph to accurately measure the muzzle velocities of the .22LR rounds fired from different firearms and barrel configurations.
