Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Suppressor question

Buddy and I were talking and looking at the weight and lengths of some, we were wondering what if any poi changes occur and if accuracy was degraded.

I said accuracy should be the same or even better, but with a heavy can, poi would certainly change.

Who's got a heavy can, and what have you noticed?

I do and yes POI will change. Funny thing though, accuracy has actually increased with some loads with the can attached. I imagine it's just a harmonics issue.

How much change in poi?

I have a heavy can and had no shift in POI. I cannot explain it, but it's UBER.

Accuracy has not changed on any of the four different rifles I have tested with the can. But POI has shifted on all of them except my AR.

I shoot KAC and AAC cans. Both shift POI and, as mentioned, some of my guns shoot better with cans than without.

I do not speak from experience but it is said that screw on cans have less POI than QD cans.

Also accuracy is said to improve due to the reduced disruption of the bullets flight by escaping gas. Again no experience to back that up.

I have a heavy can that's a quick detach YHM. I see a slight point of impact change on all the bolt or AR rifles a use it on. I sight my rifles in with the suppressor attached and move the suppressor to whatever rifle I am hunting with that day. If I am shooting, you can bet I will have the suppressor attached.

I have the same one. I remember the groups being low right about 8" last time I compared POI shift.

Travis, I'm curious, does the AR have a free-floating forearm or not? I would guess not but purely a guess - so that the forearm pressure negates the added weight on the end of the barrel.




Wow, assuming that's at 100yds? Wouldn't have thought it would move that much.


I don't have a suppressor currently, but looking to get a couple here shortly.
