A Navy Operator explains the drawbacks of suppressors in Close Quarters Battle (CQB). Key issues include overgassing, which creates distracting gas clouds during rapid fire, and the suppressor's heat posing a burn risk in confined spaces. The operator highlights that the unsuppressed concussion from short barrels can act as a non-lethal weapon against adversaries, while the shooter is protected by hearing aids.

Quick Summary

Navy Operators may dislike suppressors in CQB due to overgassing, which creates distracting gas clouds. Hot suppressors also pose a burn risk in confined spaces. Unsuppressed concussion from short barrels can act as a non-lethal weapon against unprepared enemies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some Navy Operators dislike using suppressors in CQB?

Suppressors can overgas the firearm system, creating distracting gas clouds during rapid fire. Additionally, they generate significant heat, posing a burn risk in confined spaces, and negate the tactical advantage of unsuppressed concussion.

What is the tactical advantage of an unsuppressed concussion in CQB?

On short barrels like the 10.3-inch MK18, the unsuppressed concussion acts like 'micro flashbangs,' disorienting enemies and potentially reducing their will to fight, while the shooter is protected by hearing aids.

What are the risks associated with hot suppressors in close quarters?

Suppressors become extremely hot after firing. This poses a significant burn risk to the operator's legs or hands when maneuvering in tight spaces, potentially causing injury or hindering movement.

How does hearing protection factor into the suppressor debate for operators?

Operators typically wear advanced hearing protection like Peltors, which mitigate damage from loud noises. This allows them to leverage the disorienting effect of unsuppressed muzzle blast on unprepared enemies.
