Thread: Shotgun-9mm thing

Hi Toby, just read this thread right through all 13 pages, well done mate, like your style!!!!!!

@mikee @veitnamcam

Barrel hasn't blown up so that's a good sign. Too dark to test for accuracy. What should be a subsonic load is bloody loud, I don't think the neighbors will be happy with that. Oddly enough .1gr less and it gets stuck in the barrel so I would have thought it would be sub sonic.

I'll need to play around with it more.

Subsonic wont be quiet without a suppressor.

Yeah but I still thought it wouldnt sound like a shotgun....

I've shot .22 subs without a suppressor an its still quiet compared to a high velocity shell. I just want to get rid of the ear pirecing noise in the shot

With the 12 bore extending well past the 9mm barrel you basicly have a loudener.

Righto, I'll somehow find a way to test that it comes out the barrel straight then make a suppressor somehow

Just like boy racers have to have "big things" to make their cars louder

Would putting a washer on the end somehow work? Would tape hold it? want it to hold but it if hits let go and fly off.

You could make the whole 12ga barrel into a suppressor, put a whole lot of washers wiith spacers down it, provided the bullet flies straight down it!

That is the issue

Surely it should be straight for the first couple of yards at least?

Ive just been out making a new suppressor for the .22, center drilled the bases of some berocca tubes at 6.5mm the cut them off and slid them down a pipe. Should do the trick

Good call, soft plastic baffles would not be a major even if the bullet touched one, you could then pull it apart and adjust to suit the bullet path.

You could cover the end with tape a fire it to see how true it flies.

Vc has come up with a good idea. Kinda thinking its more effort then its worth and might as well go full power house loads for hunting and just not shoot it around the house.

I'll still do the test though. And see its accuracy a well. Hopefully its an improvment

The thing to remember here is that a standard suppressor is held true to the bore usually at the very least by a thread and shoulder or two point contact bush style and exit hole is no more than 6inches from the muzzle an requires at least 1mm clearance on projectile.

suppressor built into the shotgun barrel could be 16? inches from the muzzle of the insert whicvh is ratteling around in the shotgun chamber and will likely never be in the same place twice.

It would be like trying to shoot 243 ammo threw a 308 rifle with no sights and expecting all shots to go threw a 7mm hole 16 inches away without touching the sides of the hole.

Not saying it cant be done but would require lots and lots of clearance, a small suppressor on the insert itself would be the best option for getting everything aligned and you could possibly add a BIG clearance washer at the end of shotgun barrel could work okish, basically twin chambers.
