Thread: Unusual ammo you've come across

Another thing is CCI 'Quiet' ammo, it runs at just 710 fps and won't cycle a semi, they also do a 'Suppressor' ammo, which will, both of which are quieter than the regular CCI subs. I just tried some of the 'Quiet' stuff today alongside regular CCI subs and man is it quiet, makes the normal subsonic sound sound like high velocity by comparison. Anyone else come across weird factory ammo?

Mate I've shot the cci quiet ammo for a few years now and there are a couple of varieties, such as segmented quiet and standard quiet. Both are amazing. About 4 months ago I shot a hare at 90 metres with the standard quiet ammo in my toz 78... at a velocity of 710 fps I was bloody impressed it dropped on the spot. Easily recommend for any one needing/wanting quieter rounds when around neighbours, animals or just in general.
