It's just plain neat to shoot something even quieter than an air rifle, but with way more power. Plus, I had everything, just took stuff that I wasn't using off of the shelf.Īnd yes, there is the "cool" factor as well. The load uses a primer and 2.0 gr of green dot, brass lasts forever. Expense? I don't remember what I paid for surplus and blem 33 gr V-Max bullets, but they were very inexpensive. Besides, my load is much more accurate than any. Yes, it can be cheaper to shoot, but not in my sealed can designed for 5.56 Nato.22lr but rarely through the can, the subsonic centerfire fire is for shooting vermin through the can. Maybe as a trainer that's why my dealer wants it? I dunno, I didn't ask.Ībout. Suppressed subsonic requires no hearing protection whatsoever. I'm guessing supersonic ammo is no good for the hearing after firing lots of it- heck, supersonic is still plenty loud. My bet is that it can't be solved unless the gun is modified, or has an adjustable gas port. To recap, I asked for another individual, but I find it an interesting problem and was wondering if anyone has solved it yet. I'm saying that I have no need of a load that cycles the action. The MK18 pistol does use a standard quad rail that old guys like me tend to appreciate. It’s built to extremely demanding standards, and it delivers excellent accuracy, reliability, and long-term durability. If I ever had to drop game silently, so as not to give away position it doesn't need to function the rifle IMHO. Compare prices (2 found) The MK18 is one of the highest-quality AR-15 pistols on the market. Myself, If I have to shoot "other" vermin with the AR-15 I want supersonic ammo so that their buddies don't know where I am. The third thing he did was say," I'll never hear you exterminating red squirrels anymore.". Personally, I wouldnt shoot subsonic ammo without a suppressor, no matter what gun Im shooting. The second thing he did was ask, "What the hell just happened?". 223 before, and the major difference was powder. I've been working on it on and off for about 15 years now.īTW, when my neighbor experienced the sub sonic load, the first thing he did was paste a big s-t eating grin on his face. Hell if it wont I may dump it and stick with the. I am also starting on my pof 308, will they cycle subs or no. I will just stay with a reg load then and shoots the subs through the bolt. With the suppressor on it does nothing but is sneaky quiet. Personally though, I find it an interesting problem in reloading and I'm an experimenter, that was another reason I asked the question- curiousity. It cycles fine with my reg load but I just started with the subs and was wondering what to do. For the AR-15, well, if you read the initial post, I was asking for my dealer, he's in LE (and a trainer) and I didn't ask why he wants it.

I don't like bothering the neighbors when dispatching vermin, hence the Contender subsonic load, and I value what's left of my hearing.
