Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
With my TBAC 30P-1 there is not any velocity change on my 308.
Have not compared with and without velocities with my 300 BLK or 5.56 though.

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
I am with HTG Silencers (just so there is full disclosure).
We have test data that shows 50 fps increase in a 1911 with our Cycle-2 .45 suppressor attached.
Win 230 FMJ
Unsuppressed
865 fps
162 dB
Suppressed
915 fps
139 dB
Rifles have similar increases in velocity, depending on cartridge and barrel length, between 25 and 50 fps increases.

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
I have seen marginal increases with my 5.56 if you even want to call it that. I haven’t seen a increase with my 308 can, and I haven’t had a chance to shoot the 45 over the chronograph yet. All three cans are coastal guns out of Brunswick Ga.

Not sure how many people it would effect on here but a suppressor can also increase the cycle rate on a FA. I built my AR upper with a variable gas block keep it from happening.

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
I have a post here. Actually I kinda hi-jacked the thread I thought it was more common knowledge, Free bore boost with FM http://www.opticstalk.com/silencers-and-bullett-trajectory_topic26941_page1.html?KW=free+bore+boost I have done testing but it is not as linear as you might think it is very, very complex, their is a phenomenon called free bore boost, causing increase in velocity at times that is indeterminate.

On a blow-back gun like a Mac-10 in F/A especially true

My Gemtech HVT QD is reading the following:
For 5.56 MK262 18 inch barrel- 2624 non suppressed and 2656 suppressed
Noveske N6 18 inch with 175SMK- 2489 non suppressed, and 2517 suppressed
300 Blackout Noveske 8 inch barrel 220SMK- 925 non suppressed and 979 suppressed

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
I'm waiting on a Form-4 and two Form-1's and hope to start playing with powder-burner cans soon. But I can say that I've tested dozens of air-rifles with the can on and then off and
there is never any real difference in velocity. POI does change in many cases, however.

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
I have a Tubb SpecTacLR in 6xc. With 115 DTAC's I get a 30 fps increase suppressed over the muzzle brake that comes on the rifle.

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
Which is strange because a lot of video games I've played in the past suggested that a suppressor decreases velocity and accuracy..

Re: Effects of velocity with a can?
But then again, movies and video games are not known for being accurate..

Lol, actually the beer is somewhat of a bell-shaped curve. After a couple my came actually improves and then it is all down hill from there

10 shot average for my 308 was 39 FPS faster with the Tigershark on the gun.
