You two should give it a rest.....
Back on post.
Had a moderator that came with my 10/22 back about 94? One of the first stainless ones but just before the target model which made me spew as I would've goon for that.
Anyhoo this moderator which somehow went missing between leaving a bunch of stuff including my firearms was very effective.
I did have a slip on silent kill which some people rate but wasn't as good as others and it definitely wasn't as quiet as the other one I had.
Light alloy body with 3 sliding chamber about an inch or so long and a spring.
I reckon you could hear them shuffle forward when you fired. If you didn't stay on top of it cleaning wise they would get stuck.
Bit of a pain to get out and I had been know to actually fire a shot through it into a bundled up rag if it proved too troublesome.
It was still quite even when it was grubby.
Back in the day it was winchester subs or kilwell hushpower which I believe were the same.
Not a lot to pick from but they were good anyway.
Tried PMC stuff as I was a fan but they were a copper wash and a bit tough.
Suspect the same projectile as the Zappers and hollowpoint was for supersonic.
Didn't mushroom bugger all.
Remember a very brief play with Eley subs. Called scorpion back then?
They seemed to work just as well as the winchesters but no cheaper so didn't carry on with them
Surprisingly the old spring and washer types seemed to work pretty well even if the holes in the baffles were big enough to drive a truck through.
My 10/22 and moderator came through an agent from GC I believe.
If I could buy another suppressor like that one I'd be happy.
I've made a few but a lot of buggerising about and usually heavier than I'd like.
The ones for me have been an over barrel type so they don't stick out so far
Little blast chamber and some volume back over the barrel (sealed, gases only come out the end) with 3 K baffles seemed to work but not a lot quieter than others with flat baffles.
Really need to test them side by side properly.
Last one I did fo kotuku was a monocore but a very rough type.
Thin SS tube with a couple of tig spot welds holding the threaded rear and the monocore from white nylon (from work) with some slotted baffles drilled into it.
The mill shit out so had to finish it with the drill and a die grinder.
Like I said a bit rough.
Hate to say I was a bit too optomistic with the hole through the center and it was getting a baffle strike.
Kotuku ran the drill through it and problem solved.
smiffys wee unit does its job quite happily for me as do my guncity /manders suppressors-In fact ive never has an shot animal complain yet.silencer -removes all sound suppressor reduces level of sound-there is a difference subtle as it is
Another factor not yet touched on - Even if the bullet itself is travelling at just slightly less than the speed of sound, aka transonic, the air pushed aside may be momentarily forced to break the sound barrier. So bullets start to get quite noisey as they approach the sound barrier, its not a strict yes / no super/sub sonic thing.
you forgot throwing colonoscopy bags at 8 paces.....any further and they cant hear the insults yelled....Quote:
