Why is a 40 grain cci standard .22lr quiet with a silencer, but a blazer 40 grain .22lr sounds like my gun exploded? Serious question; I figured the grain ammount determined the power.
why does louder ammo sound louder?
>>65646109just admit you dont know
>>65646099Grain is weight of the bullet. Check the velocity, should be on the box. CCI Standard runs about 1050fps from a 16in barrel, a little less from something shorter like a pistol. Blazer runs 1235fps from the same 16in barrel. Anything over 1100fps is supersonic, so you are getting the "crack" sound of the bullet breaking the sound barrier, and this is pretty much impossible to suppress. As the CCI Standard is under this threshold, the report comes from pressurized gasses coming from the muzzle (specifically in the moment the bullet exits, this is called "uncorking pressure"). A supressor changes the rate and directions in which the gasses expand, and make this sound much quieter. This is why subsonics are typically used in suppressed weapons that have spund reduction as their main objective. Supressors can be used with supersonics, and while the "crack" will still happen, the overall report is much quieter.
>>65646229ah, I thought grain was how much powder was in the bullet
>>65646229anyway, thank youthis pointed me in the right direction; I now know what I'm looking for is "standard velocity"
>>65646235Please give your guns to an adult (white person) and get off the internet.
>>65646292suck my chode, commie
>>65646229>Anything over 1100fps is supersonicYour advice was great; just a short caveat that temperature and altitude changes the velocity needed to be subsonic. For example:>0°F = supersonic at approximately 1,050 ft/s (most .22 is supersonic)>30°F = supersonic at approximately 1080 ft/s>70°F = supersonic at approximately 1,125 ft/s>105°F = supersonic at approximately 1,165 ft/sDepending on where you live, some of your subsonic ammo turns supersonic during really cold weather.>>65646235Grain is an antique unit of mass. The ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, etc. were measuring in grains.
>>65646543Ancient egyptians didn't have bullets retard
>>65646974ackshually
>>65646235>I thought grain was how much powder was in the bulletAre we caseless ammo now anon? Otherwise powder DOES NOT go in the bullet. The powder is in the case, behind the bullet.. It's wild to think with all the information at everyone's finger tips in seconds. And yet we get statements like this.
>>65646235Imagine trying to fit 40 grains of powder into a 22lr lol
