Thread: suppressor failure

Muzzle brakes increase volume by more than earplugs/muffs can attenuate, to a degree depending on the cartridge and brake of course

Much like the army wear earmuffs when doing the awq.
The guy shot in Thames was shot by aos and they all have them.
I have a suppressor on my 260 but I certainly won't be doing any other rifles I have.
I'm not going to ruin them by adding a can to it.

Suppressors are good for noise reduction to a point but muzzle brakes reduce recoil more and would reduce the flinch. If the recoil is too much.

Yep they certainly do wear ear muffs as well, crazy not to if firing a glock and lots of super sonic rifle rounds in an enclosed area.

I find the blast far more likely cause a flinch than recoil.

Glocks are rubbish no wonder why cops cant hit shit

I finally get to say that after using one

Entirely your opinion. A suppressor does reduce sound pressure level to near or below hearing safe, does reduce severity of felt recoil, does disturb animals in the immediate and wider vicinity less, and does reduce muzzle blast. I personally think they look quite ugly but I put up with it because life is much more pleasant with them.

You're also making assumptions, I would say that I fire about an order of magnitude more rounds than any normal police officer does in a work related capacity, and those institutions presumably mandate use of other hearing protection wherever practical

Thats not the police thats the Taliban.... If those guys were storming up my street I would think we were being invaded..........

If you think the one you fired is bad, then you should try a Police issue one with the heavier trigger pull, I think it's called a Chicago trigger and is something like 12lbs. So don't laugh straight away when you see cops training with the Glocks, I couldn't believe how much better I could shoot with a standard Glock and CZ.

Otherwise the Glock is pretty good for what they're designed for.

Back on topic, I just bought a ASE Utra can, ever heard of them giving way?

NYPD trigger


Steel cans rust out eventually

I have seen them shoot really well in the right hands. I much prefer a 226 or shadow. They feel and handle like a pistol should.

I've fired one and I thought the safety was left on. Though I must say the Army Steyr had an even heavier one!!

yup I cant hit shit with a glock but do quite well with a cz75 or 1911 frame but a mate of mine is the opposite shoot well with a glock horrible with a 1911 it really pissed him off as he liked the 1911 much better

Spent a few thousand rounds trying to learn to shoot the glock, that said, it's new owner out shoots me with it so it really is about what fits me rather than glocks being inherently bad.

I can see why the police use them though, but not the extra heavy trigger-that just seems counterproductive

look after your ears. I only have 405 hearing in both ears, born that way. But having a career as a commercial diver and being keen on gun sports, doesn't help either. Allways shake my head when I hear cars going by with their stereos turned up to that thump thump sound. Dumb fcks

doesnt this guy look like a young chuck norris

Probably because of events like these.

Re video 1- A Pitbull name Precious! That's classic

Oh yes so much for the trigger safety on Glocks. Why don't the police just use 226s or something with a normal safety and a decent trigger.

Putting a suppressor on their pistols would probably be a good idea too. Preferably one that wont blow up!
