Keltec RDB VS ? - Page 1

So i saw the thread on buying an rdb vs AUG and i saw a lot of hate for the keltec. I currently have an rdb and been pretty good and exceptional suppressed. I dont think its a tack driver but more than capable for social work. Shooting it suppressed does not ring my ears like every other semi auto does. This might be due to the position of the ejection port.

I have shot 300 blackout and it is indeed stupid quiet but lacks power and range in my opinion.

So my question Is there a semiauto suppressed rifle out there that shoots full power rifle cartridges quieter than the RDB? How loud is the AUG or the Tavor by comparison?

The mdr in .556 should be out this fall but it's going to be like 10 lbs. Really a shame

But it is more than twice what i paid for my keltec and heavier to boot. Would like to have one though but cost will prevent me from getting one

The Tavor is just as loud as my 12" AR 5.56 and a gassy mess. The AUG has a very loud piston pop, not suppressor friendly at all...and it cycles harshly. The RDB is by far a better suppressed performer by any relatable metric . Its almost as if the RDB was designed to be first and foremost a suppressed weapon. If it had a16" barrel with a medium profile instead of the 18" pencil barrel , it would be near perfect.

Looking forward to trying a can on my RDB. I've run an aug suppressed as well as a tavor sar and was disappointed... though you can turn off the aug gas completely... would be nice if aftermarket gas regulators were available for the aug to optimize performance.

IWI clearly put little to no effort into making sure their guns were supressor friendly. The ace in particular is a good example.

I was watching a dad and his son shooting the RDB next to me when I was shooting my Tavor SAR. They were constantly having problems. They had to take the gun apart a few times and I even saw them sticking a cleaning rod down the brass case chute to remove a stuck casing. I asked him what the problem was,said they were trying steel case ammo. I told them my Tavor eats anything I feed it.

I'll bet they didn't have the gas adjusted correctly.

I haven't had a single stuck case in over 3.5k rounds...suppressed or not. Then again I don't shoot steel case ammo in any 5.56 gun.

Yep, even the mighty FAL needs to be tuned to run steel case. I honestly wish the tavor gave you gas options (even a 2 position regulator), I might still own it if that were the case.

The Tavor would be greatly improved with adjustable gas. 4 settings would probably make it great.

All I run is steel. I don't remember if I'm not the 3rd or 4th case. So far no issues.
