Thread: 338 suppressors

overbarrels have very little volume in the rear section unless you go quite wide, weight/volume ratio is less efficient, can't be swapped between multiple guns (as made by most NZers anyway), also trap heat in the barrel etc

Downsides: Heavier, no-one makes them in this country

Also I don't like overbarrel on an AR because I like to have a handguard as close to the muzzle as possible (ie 13" hg on 14.5" barrel) for control + sight radius reasons and I like slim handguards because fat ones are terrible. I also don't like the "suppressor inside handguard" thing.
