Thread: How to make my .22 quieter

I put my full sized centrefire overbarrel suppressor on the JW15 .22lr thinking would be ducks nuts and could run supersonic rounds quietly..nope no different to a small suppressor...SLIGHTLY quieter with subs but not much..the wee suppressors only have a tiny amount of exhaust gas/explosion left to capture.
fire a round suppressor off...then put it on again..you will see it does a lot.
then do same with supersonic round
the difference is huge.
I use subs in a longer barrel JW15 without suppressor as find it quiet enough.... one day might do suppressor thing again for it but cant see it happening anytime soon.

I put the .223 DPT suppressor on my .22, a guy next to me at the range asked why I was dry firing so much.
