Dumb Question Regarding Suppressor Covers

[Maser]

Too embarrassed to ask this in the suppressor section, so I'll here. What real purpose does the cover serve? Wouldn't it just create an added fire hazard from a hot suppressor? I mean I can see how a camo version might be useful in the field, but I'm meaning on just the range. Or is this just something that mall ninjas do on the range when they show up wearing full camo?

^^ Yup barrel mirage is a real problem when shooting long in hot weather .
Supressors are even worse , converting sound into heat , hence the cover .

The short answer is you live in CA.

The longer and more complex one is that it's unnecessary on compressed air toys.

And if you're still unclear on the functionality, think of it as a pair of waterproof adult diaper covers in a BDSM situation. You can piss yourself without obscuring the target.

Makes sense now that I think about it. Thanks.

Given that suppressor covers are not exactly balanced, wouldn't the unbalanced weight effect trajectory?

Line the inside with Camelback pouch and use as a sweet fuckhole in the armory.

If you put a Hello Kitty patch directly on the can, it will melt. Cover insulates my prized Hello Kitty morale patches from excessive heat.

A good suppressor cover should handle the heat of normal target and hunting shooting situations without any problems. However if it is cloth based it will not do well for rapid fire tactical drills.

There are several advantages to using a cover on your suppressor;
- mirage mitigation
- protection from injuring yourself from touching a hot suppressor
- helps reduce white out with thermal scopes
- and protects your suppressor from damage.

Oh and they look cool too!

If you have a good suppressor cover it should handle even some rapid fire situations without becoming a fire hazard.
