I asked a retired military sniper why that is so and he said the suppressor reduces noise down range but blows the noise back at the shooter. Cooking for snipers doesn't make you a sniper.

A rifle using standard velocity ammo with a suppressor tend to be louder than without the suppressor. I don't know what to say, I just felt compelled to quote that. All I can say is make damn sure you are wearing hearing protection if you shoot a weapon with a suppressor using standard velocity ammo especially inside a building. Don't say you haven't been warned.

I reckon this place would be a good test bed for the idea.
What would y'all think about cops having suppressors on a patrol rifle? Not a suppressor like in the movies that makes a gun silent but a real life model that just keeps the noise to a safe level? If you've never been around one, they're still loud....they just keep you from needing ear protection while shooting.
There have allegedly been cases of folks winning lawsuits against the police for firing rifles near them and causing hearing loss.
And I know of several cases of officers being unable to work after a shoot out because of hearing loss (they weren't completely deaf, but couldn't pass the department's hearing test).
If a suppressor was purchased by the officer, would you freak out that he used it at work? I would have no problem with that at all. I'm of the mind that it's pointless to regulate suppressors for lawful use.

Didn't realize .223 made so much noise. That's just about the stupidest thing I've read on this board to date.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I'm sure we won't have to wait long for one of them to better it... PS- It seems like DD is confusing suppressors with muzzle brakes--I hope so.

Members of this board probably know a lot more than the average American. Sorry Pira, I think they've proved you wrong on that one.

A .223 flies at about mach 2 to mach 3. There will still be a lot of noise even with the suppressor and hearing protection will be needed if you aren't going to lose your hearing. I'm trying save everyone's hearing. Go ahead and shoot without hearing protection I don't care. Ask your self why do ammo manufacturers manufacture sub-sonic ammo for suppressor use if there was no need for it.

You didn't say "alot of noise", you said the suppressor would make it louder. Are you now backing off from this position?

We've got one idiot that didn't know guns were loud and another that thinks suppressors make them louder.

What if I wrap a .223 suppressor in blue tape while opening a bullet box, what happens then? A black hole of retardedness collapses around me?
