Yup. Definitely won’t suppress the supersonic crack from any projectile able to deliver useful energy at that range though.


Suppressors only reduce the loudness of the muzzle blast without impacting the projectile's ability to break the sonic barrier. In fact, suppressors slightly increase projectile speed because they effectively add barrel length.


First part - that’s what I said?

Second part - no suppressor I’ve ever seen or used did that, they all did the opposite.


wasn't there a rocket launch going on at the time the shot was fired?
