![]() Translated into English - the target's buddies will hear the sonic crack, and/or the bullet impacting the target, but the report of the shot itself will be almost completely suppressed. I suspect if the silencer eliminates the report from the muzzle its done its job regardless if the bullet is subsonic or not.įrom a "two-way range" perspective, my understanding is that a suppressed shot will be perceived at the target area as having originated 90 degrees from the actual shot. From what I've read some silencers increase velocity. My question is if you hear/feel the crack of the shockwave of a supersonic bullet can you really tell where it came from? I'm speculating that bullet impact could tell you just as easy from what general direction fire is coming from. I'm guessing the purpose of a silencer is to hide your exact location and improve comfort for the shooter. IMHO, that would indicate that a subsonic. the round still killed after passing below sonic speeds. A bullet drop at 180 yards vs 200 yards will probably be substantial.Ĭarlos Hathcock took shots with supersonic. The hardest part will be calculating your ballistic table and finding the exact range you are firing from. ![]() I suspect a 200 yard, subsonic shot, is going to be wildly effective at pissing off your target. ![]() You figure out the bullet drop at 200 yards, and the amount of velocity loss from the drag of the round and calculate the remaining foot pounds of energy. Yes, how far away can you accurately shoot someone and expect it to be effective. 45 ACP should be easier to suppress and will be stable at subsonic speeds. ![]()
