![]() It is a perfect round for ranchers to dispatch varmints and predators such as coyotes or bobcats that prey on young calves and small livestock, with a reduced chance of scaring larger animals into a stampede. ![]() It can be fired on smaller plots of land that are safe for firing handguns but where a miss with a rifle bullet would likely travel beyond the property, or the use of a full powered rifle load would disturb nearby neighbors. This specialty ammunition is perfect for younger and smaller framed shooters who are learning to shoot their family’s full size hunting rifles, seniors who have become recoil sensitive due to age, persons who only have access to indoor shooting ranges that do not allow high powered rifles because of the noise they generate that echoes off of the walls or fear that the bullet will generate so much power that it will pass through or tear up the backstop. This ammunition is not specifically designed to cycle semi or fully automatic weapons. 22 Long Rifle ammo, has virtually no felt recoil, produces the same energy and power as most 380 ACP ammunition and delivers excellent accuracy out to 100 yards from rifles with barrel twist rates of 1 in 7’’ or faster. But only you can decided if jumping through the BATFE hoops to get yourself a true sound suppressor is worth the time, money, aggravation and neighbor aggravation reduction that will result.Atomic Ammunition’s 223 Remington Subsonic is unlike any. You'll never get them to be totally silent, but you can quiet them enough that they won't heard in a crowded room full of talking people, or for the report to be recognizable as a gunshot.īut I think the guys who have said you need to have a conversation with your complaining neighbor are correct. But were he to reload, he'd discover his silencer was no longer all that silent.įrom what I have read on sound suppression, the secret is to A) use subsonic rounds so you don't get the crack! of the bullet breaking the sound barrier B) to use a series of baffles inside the suppressor itself to break up the sound waves and disperse them, as well as attenuate the propellant gases and C) to mount the thing to a firearm that has a locked breech so everything goes just one way. If the KGB assassin using it was lucky, he might be able to fire all the rounds in his cylinder silently. My understanding is they essentially took a can, drilled a hole in the bottom a trifle wider than the diameter of the bullet, filled the can up with steel wool and threaded the top to fit on the specially threaded barrel of the Nagant. I note that the Soviets never really did grasp how sound suppressors work, apart from the very astute move of making some for the locked-cylinder Nagant revolver. I somehow don't think the BATFE is terribly fond of anything that might be construed as a sound suppressor, or that could be used to turn an ordinary soda bottle into a quasi-suppressor. I'd be cautious about using it, though, assuming you could even find one today. Back in the day the lamestream media used to refer to such a setup as a "ghetto silencer." Supposedly it was good for one shot, maybe two, per bottle. The idea was you shot through the bottle and it cut down the noise. There used to be a threaded collar for the AR-15 that threaded on in place of the flash hider, that was set up to take a 1 liter or 2 liter soda bottle.
