    Camo tape on suppressor

    I have been watching a few NZ hunting video's on youTube and noticed most of them have their suppressors wrapped in camo tape.
    Who does this and what do you use. I have noticed mine does glint a bit it's a bright day even in thick bush.
    BC doesn't matter, until you need to dial

    its more of a thing to stop the "ringing" of the outer casing. lots of people use a neoprene sleeve

    As above. Also, not recommended for long strings of shots as the cover insulates well and keeps the supressor from cooling down.

    Im sure its a placebo type thing but I swear mines quieter with tape on it. I got a few rolls off aliexpress for $2 each and its exactly the same as the stuff H&F sells for $25. Message me your address and ill send you a roll

    makes quieter to carry in tight bush, you avoid that metallic ping when bush/branch hits suppressor. As stated above - does not assist with cooling, so definitely not the go for long strings

    I’ve been using this stuff called “sniper tape” from the uk. It’s good quality but can feel tacky in hot weather and leaves residue. I’d be interested in a neoprene cover if anyone can recommend one.

    Used to use camo tape but now use a Weka Silicone cover. Much better permanent on/off solution.

    This. Also good for other repairs.

    +1 on the Weka Silicone cover.

    I am already a fan of the self amalgamating tape. I work with a bunch of apple fanboys, and have used this a lot to make their Macbook power adapter cords continue to work.
    Never thought of using it on a suppressor tho.
