Is the  50 bmg hearing safe when it is shot trough a suppressor?
Does itnreduce the recoil  any?

I have a zel  custom and wondering if it would be worth looking into buying  one.  Is the red tape and expensive  worth it?

What one is the best for the money?

I have the AAC Cyclops on a Bushmaster BA50. It’s sounds great and removes all the concussion when shooting. It sounds very quiet and is listed as being under 140.  
The Recoil is increased when shooting suppressed but not terrible.  Mine feels like a 308 unsuppressed and a 300 win mag when suppressed.

The talking in the video was supposed to show that is was quiet enough that the mic didn’t auto adjust.

If it can be suppressed it's worth suppressing! I held a Barrett QDL suppressor and it was surprisingly light for it's size. It and the Cyclops each weigh about 4.9 pounds. The Cyclops is probably the most mainstream 50 BMG suppressor, though the QDL has a built in brake at the end that may help a little more with reducing recoil.

Barrett's suppressor with the built in brake works very well.  I shot a M107A1 a few years back that had one and the concussion is gone.  Shot softer than unsuppressed as well, IMO.

Fuck, so jealous of you guys who can get suppressors.

I have a PGW LRT-3 and they make a can for it but because Canada, I can't buy it.

My Gemtech is 'hearing protection not required' but made the recoil worse than any rifle I've ever fired.  Like pushed me off the gun atleast a foot and hurt.  NO way in hell could I ever keep my eye on the scope for a follow-up.  This was on an M82A1.

And I'm no bitch either
