Re: THE Basic Supressor Question from ALL NEWBIES!!!!

And I have owned, sold and shot a few suppressors myself since 1986. Very good friends with Phil Dater and have spent several nights at the late Lynn McWilliam's home.
Yes, there will be a difference, I could tell it, you can tell it. Bo, my chow can definitely notice the difference. But the original question was from a new guy looking for a very simple answer. Thus the supersonic crack from a HV .22, a 5.56, 7.62 etc will be VERY similar to someone who (like Killer Spade) has not heard any suppressors fired from anything in the past.
Most of the answers here say something like "about the same noise, or if you were here or over there etc. Well, that is like trying to describe a taste or a smell, just too many variables, starting with human ears. We all hear things differently.
Rolling Thunder makes some good points, but a novice asked a simple question.
But, the fun thing about the internet is getting all the subject matter experts piling on with their biggest dick stories.
For gosh sakes the man asked s very simple question, and I did not see anything in that question about how fast the bullets were going or how far away from the "microphone" he should be standing or even is he should be wearing earmuffs or not. </div></div>
I just don't see how you think a suppressed 308 sounds like a 22.... They are not even close in percussion. Hell the sonic crack is even different. 10ft from the gun, being the shooter, or 30 ft away. They all are distinctly different sounds. I am talking standard ammo, not subsonic.
Your not really making any sense now. You are now on the side of "it was a simple question" but you were asking for demonstrations and what not just a few posts earlier. Now we have graduated on to some of the answers he is getting are "biggest dick stories" ? What? I think he is getting some real world data on what he is going to hear from different people. Which is EXACTLY what you said in your above quoted statement. Everyones ears are different. So why would Killer Spade get all the same answers? He wouldn't.... that's the great thing about a public forum, you get more then one perspective.
