This video tests the effect of a suppressor on bullet velocity and terminal ballistics using ballistic gel. The presenter notes a significant reduction in sound when using the CMMG Burst of Thunder suppressor with subsonic P2 Long Rifle ammunition. While the suppressor did not appear to increase bullet speed, the gel tests showed a slightly different wound channel compared to unsuppressed shots, though the overall lethality was deemed similar.

Quick Summary

Firearm suppressors primarily reduce gunshot noise by containing propellant gases and do not typically increase bullet velocity. Terminal ballistics tests on ballistic gel with subsonic ammunition showed minimal differences in wound channels between suppressed and unsuppressed shots, indicating no significant change in lethality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do firearm suppressors increase bullet velocity?

Based on testing with ballistic gel, a suppressor does not appear to increase bullet velocity. Its primary function is to reduce the sound of a gunshot by managing propellant gases, not by accelerating the projectile.

How does a suppressor affect terminal ballistics?

In tests using subsonic ammunition on ballistic gel, a suppressor showed minimal impact on terminal ballistics. While there were slight differences in the wound channel compared to unsuppressed shots, overall lethality was not significantly altered.

What is the main benefit of using a suppressor?

The primary benefit of a suppressor is the significant reduction in the sound signature of a firearm. This makes shooting more pleasant and can offer tactical advantages by masking the shooter's location.
