Perhaps the advent of polymer cartridge cases, like the. The company exploring that option had some limited success, but it’s not been followed up to widespread production. That, theoretically, would better hold a reduced powder charge, developing a reduced and more consistent chamber pressure, resulting in a reduced velocity, one reduce d to subsonic levels. change the case wall and head thickness) to achieve less internal volume than a normal cartridge case. From there it’s a ( somewhat ) simple step to change the internal volume of the case (i.e. By starting with a solid piece of brass rod and turning the cartridge case from that, you can control the inside dimensions of the case, like you do with the outside dimensions. 50 cartridge solution was to turn the cartridge cases out of solid bar stock, like match projectiles are currently. There is also the problem of so little powder rambling around inside the big BMG case that not enough powder is near enough to the primer at the point of ignition. The risk here is that you get so little powder in the case that you run the risk of catastrophically detonating ( rather than controlled burning ) of the powder. Most attempts have been directed at just putting in less gun powder than normal. 50 BMG caliber ammunition to sub-sonic levels has been extremely difficult. 50) to accomplish subsonic flight, trying to download. 300 Blackout have reduced case volumes (compared to the. While the pistol calibers and many rifle calibers like the. (Two different components of “noise” to be dealt with here.) The suppressor just deals with the noise of the propellant gas being expelled. To really take advantage of the hearing benefits of a suppressor, you need to eliminate the supersonic crack of the bullet passing out of the muzzle and through the air. One explanation for this gap is due to the ammunition. But if there is one caliber that just screams for sound reduction, it’s the. 50 hasn’t been a big suppressor caliber in the civilian world, to date, unlike the pistol and other rifle calibers. 300 Blackout (and other) caliber rifles, imagine the potential impact to the chest thumping. If people are feeling it worthwhile to moderate the noise of their 9mm or. But the suppressor market is booming, so to speak. Oh, and don’t forget the $200 fee to facilitate the acquisit i on process, IN ADDITION TO the cost of the can itself. Assuming your state even allows such ownership. You even have paperwork to deal with in transporting your suppressor “ can, ” when you want to travel. Here in the US, suppressor ownership takes (literally) an act of government to achieve, 6 months is a common wait time, plus fingerprints, photographs, considerable paperwork and an extraordinary background check to achieve. In Europe, where suppressors (incorrectly called “silencers”) are not regulated, it’s expected that shooters be considerate when enjoying their sport and use suppressors wherever possible. The noise level developed from rifle and pistol ammunition being fired is a known hearing problem. Suppressors are all the range in the shooting sports right now and it stands to reason.
