Published on April 20, 2024
Duration: 11:16

This video tests the performance of three different suppressors: KGM R30K, KGM R30 Standard, and a Thunder Beast Magnum Can. The test involves evaluating point of impact shift and accuracy with both subsonic and supersonic ammunition at various distances (50, 100, and 200 yards). The instructor notes subtle differences in POI shift and accuracy between the suppressors, with the Thunder Beast Magnum Can showing slightly improved accuracy.

Quick Summary

This suppressor test compares the KGM R30K, KGM R30 Standard, and Thunder Beast Magnum Can. The evaluation focused on point of impact shift and accuracy using subsonic and supersonic .308 ammunition at 50, 100, and 200 yards. Results showed minor POI shifts between KGM models, while the Thunder Beast offered slightly better accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What suppressors were tested in the video?

The video tested three suppressors: the KGM R30K (shorty), the KGM R30 Standard, and a Thunder Beast Magnum Can. The tests focused on their impact on point of impact and accuracy with different ammunition types.

How did the suppressors affect point of impact?

Switching between the KGM R30K and R30 Standard resulted in a minor left shift of a tenth or two. The Thunder Beast Magnum Can showed no left-to-right point of impact shift compared to the KGM suppressors.

What ammunition was used for the suppressor tests?

The tests utilized both subsonic and supersonic ammunition. Supersonic rounds were Federal Gold Medal Match 175-grain Sierra Match King, and subsonic rounds were from Atomic, also using a 175-grain bullet.

What were the accuracy results at 50 yards?

At 50 yards with subsonic rounds, the KGM R30K and R30 Standard produced groups slightly over 1 MOA. The Thunder Beast Magnum Can achieved a tighter, sub-MOA group, indicating superior accuracy in this test.

How did subsonic .308 perform at 200 yards?

At 200 yards, subsonic .308 ammunition, with a muzzle velocity around 988 ft/s, produced groups roughly the size of a hand, with one outlier shot. This demonstrates the challenges of maintaining precision with subsonic rounds at extended distances.
