Duration: 3:39

This video demonstrates a suppressed Ruger 10/22 .22LR test comparing standard velocity and subsonic ammunition using a decibel meter. The presenter highlights the significant noise reduction achieved with subsonic rounds, noting the need for manual cycling due to insufficient gas pressure for reliable ejection with CCI Quiets. The test provides practical insights into suppressed .22LR performance and ammunition selection for quiet shooting.

Quick Summary

A suppressed Ruger 10/22 test revealed a significant decibel difference between standard velocity and subsonic .22LR ammunition. Standard velocity registered 111.6 dB, while subsonic CCI Quiets measured a much quieter 86.1 dB. However, the subsonic rounds required manual cycling due to insufficient gas pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the decibel difference between standard velocity and subsonic .22LR ammunition when suppressed?

In this test, suppressed standard velocity .22LR (Aguila 1280 ft/s) registered 111.6 dB, while suppressed subsonic .22LR (CCI Quiets 710 ft/s) registered a significantly quieter 86.1 dB. This demonstrates a substantial noise reduction with subsonic rounds.

Will subsonic .22LR ammunition reliably cycle a Ruger 10/22?

Very low velocity subsonic ammunition, like CCI Quiets, may not have enough gas pressure to reliably cycle the action of a semi-automatic rifle such as the Ruger 10/22. Manual cycling of the bolt is often required for these rounds.

What equipment was used for the suppressed .22LR test?

The test utilized a suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifle equipped with a Ruger SR22 suppressor. Sound levels were measured using a decibel meter to compare the noise output of different ammunition types.

What are the specifications of the tested .22LR ammunition?

The test included Aguila Standard Velocity (1280 ft/s, 38 grain) and CCI Quiets (710 ft/s, 40 grain). The CCI Quiets are specifically designed as subsonic ammunition for reduced noise.
