i heard it would drop it a bit, but holy shit.. just finished up the 338 LM can for my dad. test fired it tonight. with clipped cones very little to no POI shift. recoils like a .243 now, its crazy on how much it calmed it down. Funny part is I paid for the materials (inconel,Ti and 17-4), the form 1 and listened to him bitch about it teh whole way. I dont need that, I dont want that. BLAH Blah blah..
After he shot it tonight, changed his mind completely. Oh thats staying on that gun.. no no dont take it off. Ill take it this week when we go over for deer.. |

Normally how it goes.
My dad questioned the fuck out of why I wanted suppressors. "Guns are fun loud" He, himself, owning a MG and a Short barrels shotgun. Man did he love shooting the shit out of my SiCo Sparrow. Even picked himself up a SiCo Omega 9k. |

Ill take it this week when we go over for deer.. ya it was actually FUN to shoot.. it was nice, since this was the first time he shot it with out the lead sled. hes been worried about using it this year, thinking too much recoil. Built both the rifle and suppressor for the old man.. I just hope my kids do something like that for me when i get old.. |

2 ways. Added mass from the suppressor and preventing the gasses from rushing out with the bullet.

View Quote I have a Salvo 12 and it takes a pump action 12 gauge shotgun from... Well... A shotgun and turns it into about a 20 gauge. Putting it on the Versamax is a no brainier. I really want a shorter barrel for the Versamax, then it would be pimptacular. |

Just makes shooting more expensive. So many more rounds so much less shoulder pain.

An appropriately designed brake would decrease it more.
But yes, cans are fun. |

I've never done a back to back with the same rifle, but I've never thought that a suppressed rifle was much more tame with a suppressor. Most rifles I've shot with suppressors have been heavy or .556 though.

Quoted: Quoted: Never shot a 50, but every suppressor I have seen on a 50 seems fairly small. Would that be true with a much larger suppressor? Wat? http://i.imgur.com/RVUqF3u.jpg Right....but here's an unscientific answer I think might get the point across a few of us are wondering The 50 Cal bullet is ~15 times heavier and is traveling quite a bit faster than a 9mm. The 50 Cal can would need to be QUITE a bit bigger to achieve the same gas/volume as the 9mm can. 632 J = 9mm for muzzle energy 15037 = 50 BMG for muzzle energy The gas coming out would therefore have to have that much energy, right? The 50 can doesn't have 30 times the volume of the 9 can. *I'm not a scientist, and I don't do sciency things. Don't kill me RA |

A lot of people don't realize it because they don't adjust the gas on their AR after installing a can.
My 11.5" SBR had worse recoil after installing a can. Installed an adjustable gas block and it has been great. |

Yeah Ive never noticed a reduction in recoil using a can either.
It makes it quieter which may seem like it reduces recoil. Then again Im only using cans on pistol and 5.56mm cartridges. With the cyclic speed increase I almost think it increases recoil, but the weight of the can on the end of the gun kind of neutralizes that. Im no scientist |
