Thread: New Suppressor

OK

Now I ask you guys to forgive me , I live in Australia .
Apart from the quieter muzzle blast , what are the other benefits of a suppressor ?
They appear to add weight and length to the rifle , seem to be quite expensive and need gunsmithing to fit .
Years ago I had silencers ( thats what they were called then ) on my .22 rimfires and they were the Bee's knees because they were silent , with subsonic ammo .
I'm not trying to be a smart arse , and I'm not trying to start an argument , but apart from a fractional noise reduction , what are they good for ?
I understand the appeal off silent usages with sub sonic ammo , but do the benefits out way the negatives in regards to centerfire full speed ammo .
I'm not trying to start a fight , just asking a question .
