This video from Civilian Tactical explores the suppression capabilities of the .17 HMR cartridge using a Volquartsen VT2 rifle. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, explains the ballistics of the .17 HMR, noting its supersonic velocity and relationship to the .22 Magnum. The test confirms that due to the inherent sonic crack, the .17 HMR is not an ideal candidate for quiet suppression, even with a suppressor attached.
