[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Extra Loud AR

Posted: 10/23/2007 3:47:25 PM EDT

Hey guys, I just picked up a new Bushy patrol Rifle a couple months ago. I've been shooting it at the range and people are telling me that it's the loudest AR they've ever heard. I've owned a few AR's in the past & I have to admit, this sucker DOES seam louder than the rest. What the heck could cause this?

I have been shooting a lot of Radway lately. Could it be the Gun? The mil ammo? it throws brass about 10 feet and from the bench, it clears out all the fallen leaves in front of the shooting station. Normal?

Could be the RAdway you are shooting is slower powder burn rate than other types of surplus, leaving higher pressures in the barrel when the bullet exits. The Radway 92 i've shot is nice and hot as well.

Most likely a muzzle brake. Redirects the sound for the listening pleasure of those to your left and right.

It's that funny looking Brake at the end of your barrel. or maybe everything is bigger and louder in Texas.

It looks like the standard 5 slotted bird cage to me. It has to be the Radway, it's the only ammo I've shot out of this gun. I was just wondering if this was a known symptom of some type. Like to avoids KABOOMS when possible.

The bastard just seems friggin loud.
