What makes you think the dampening provided by the suppressor changes the frequency propagated by the ignition and pressure wave initiated at the chamber? .
Isn't that what dampening is.... decreasing the
frequency/amplitude of the vibration?
How is the suppressor's weight different from any other "weight" you could attach to a barrel?
Maybe a suppressor mostly just dampens the amplitude (strength) of the vibration. This seems to makes sense because the frequency of the vibration should really only change if the barrel material was changed. Then with a can you also get the benefit of the way it handles the pressure wave after the bullet exits the muzzle.
I'm going to have to re-read Rifle Accuracy Facts now. It has a lot of big brain stuff on barrel vibration. Good thread everyone.
