Combined with firearm sound suppressors, subsonic ammunition may significantly reduce sound levels compared to normal ammunition. [4] Specific reductions depend on the ammunition and suppressor. The peak sound pressure levels of a Remington 700 .223 caliber bolt-action rifle firing high-velocity (supersonic) ammunition using a GEMTECH G5-5.56 ...
The VSS Vintorez suppressor and operating systems are exactly the same as the AS Val, but optimised to fire the 9×39mm SP-5 subsonic cartridge with a hardened steel or tungsten tip to defeat body armour. [11] The AS Val uses a 20-round detachable box magazine, while the VSS Vintorez uses a 10-round, though they are interchangeable. [4]
Named after CBJ Tech AB's founder and president Carl Bertil Johansson, [3] the 6.5×25mm CBJ has the same functional dimensions as the 9×19mm Parabellum and was designed to produce the same recoil and pressures to allow most 9 mm caliber weapons to be converted to 6.5×25mm CBJ with a simple barrel change.
A Gemtech Outback suppressor mounted on a Walther P22. Outback: The Outback was a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .22 lr. [9] Quantum-200: The Quantum-200 was a .22 lr suppressor designed and sold in the 1990s. [10] Vortex-2: The Vortex-2 was a .22 lr muzzle suppressor designed for handguns or rifles. [10] [11]
The subsonic round is originally designed to have an optimistic effective lethal range of 400 to 530 meters and a maximum penetration of up to 10 mm of steel. Like the 5.45×39mm cartridge, the 9×39mm SP-5 features an air pocket in the tip, which increases its tendency to yaw or "keyhole" upon impact, thus increasing soft tissue damage in ...
When subsonic ammunition is used in conjunction with the suppressor, it reduces the sound signature of the P90 by 33 dB. [7] A small case collector pouch for the P90 is available which fits over the ejection port and collects spent cases as they are ejected downward; the pouch will collect up to one hundred cases before filling. [16] [23]
The PBS-1 is a two-chambered silencer using baffles and a rubber wipe. [7] It was designed for use in conjunction with subsonic rifle ammunition. [7] The PBS-1 has been extensively tested by the United States Army Foreign Weapons Test Lab. [citation needed] The rubber wipe requires replacement after 20–25 rounds. [2]
The .45 ACP cartridge was selected as its muzzle velocity is subsonic for typical barrel lengths; consequently it would both retain its full lethality and not require custom-loaded ammunition to use with a silencer. Most rifle rounds are supersonic, where the bullet generates a "sonic boom" like any other object traveling at supersonic ...
