The peak sound pressure levels of a Remington 700. 223 caliber bolt-action rifle firing high-velocity (supersonic) ammunition using a GEMTECH G5-5.56 suppressor. But I picked up one 50 round box to test it and see how much quieter it is. They had the same Remington, and a Wichester CB Long, that the guy behind the counter said is almost identical to the CCI CB Long, so I know it won't cycle my 10/22. Specific reductions depend on the ammunition and suppressor. Ok Academy's subsonic selection sucks too. Main article: Suppressor § Subsonic ammunition and reduced sonic signatureĬombined with firearm sound suppressors, subsonic ammunition may significantly reduce sound levels compared to normal ammunition. These are designed from the start as dedicated subsonic projectile systems. 45 ACP ammunition load, of a 230 grain bullet at 850 feet per second, is naturally subsonic.Īlternatively, specialized firearms and ammunition may be used to optimize total subsonic ammunition effectiveness. For example, the traditional American military standard. Some ammunition types were inherently designed with heavier, slower standard bullet weights and velocities. Subsonic ammunition with normal bullet weights often fails to properly function in such firearms. Subsonic loads for 9mm commonly use 9.5 grams (147 gr) bullets at velocities of 300 metres per second (980 ft/s).įor these ammunition loads, balancing bullet weight and velocity are required to ensure that the ammunition will still reliably cycle semi-automatic firearms. In this instance, heavier bullets are loaded in standard ammunition, which reduces muzzle velocity below the speed of sound.Īs an example, the very common 9×19mm Parabellum standard military round is a 7.5 grams (116 gr) bullet at velocities typically around 360 metres per second (1,200 ft/s).
#Are subsonic rounds quieter crack
Standard calibers Subsonic versions of standard rounds Subsonic ammunition is ammo manufactured specifically so the round avoids breaking the sound barrier to stop the bullet crack with heavier bullet weights. 1.1 Subsonic versions of standard rounds.
