I really didn't know suppressors cut recoil, do they have any effect on velocity?
In my experience, velocity gain/loss is minimal. They help with recoil a lot.
The new Omega I just got has made two different rifles shoot tighter groups. It must have something to do with harmonics.
I'm sold on them. It's a shame it's such a hassle to obtain one.
I’ve never seen a rifle shoot worse with a suppressor attached, than it does naked. I don’t think it’s necessarily “”harmonics”, I think it has more to do with a clean release of the bullet from the bore. When you fire a rifle without a suppressor, the bullet has to fly through all the gasses being released out of the bore. Granted, the bullet is the first thing out of the bore, but the gasses are under extreme pressure, so they envelop and pass the bullet and can induce all kinds of dirrectional forces on the bullet. With a suppressor, the vast majority of those gasses are peeled off as the bullet passes through the baffles... allowing for a clean release.... so the bullet doesn’t have to fly through its own prop-wash.
