Gemtech 338 Lapua Mag Silencer on Barrett M98B

Well... there went $45.

Why are 338 suppressors so expensive?

[oerllikon2]

Isnt the point of a silencer on a supersonic round to modify the report? There is still the sonic boom from the round. Its almost as loud as a .308 going off when I pull targets for the 600s

Ok so its actually closer in energy to a .44 magnum my point is the standard round has 4830 ftlbs of energy at 100 yrds & the subsonic has 629, kinda like buying a bmg 50 & putting a .22 conversion kit on it.

[bugs19682]

.338 subsonic rounds would be retarded & kind of defeat the purpose. typical loads are 3000fps to be subsonic you would have to reduce that to around 1000fps.

The reduction of sound would still be very beneficial to the shooter of the weapon with the standard ammo. if you were shooting subsonic you might as well be shooting .380 pistol ammo.

@bugs19682 You are incorrect that .338 Subsonic would be retarded, nor are you correct about subsonic .338 being the same as .380 pistol ammo.

@johntitsworthjr does the Barrett have the same effect ( power ) if the silencer is attached to it? what about the accuracy? - what about the recoil?

[michaelbarrettm107]

@Zyyler55 Contrary to popular belief, Suppressors have no effect on range, accuracy, or ballistics. And suppressors also eliminate up to 70% of felt recoil. People are retarded and think that since the L96a1 on blacks ops suppressed has less range and damage that it my be true in real life. The only downside to a supressor is the cost ( anywhere from $550 to $1,500) and the extra pound or two they add on to the rifle. I love my Gemtech and AAC suppressors.

@michaelbarrettm107 and the extra length :D

[KevinHomicide]

the reason its still loud is cause they arent using subsonic .338 rounds cause the subsonic rounds are made for the suppressors soo when round leaves the gun doesnt make any sound all but when you use regular rounds it still makes sound

@KevinHomicide o ya their in cod4

[KevinHomicide]

@Diarmuidp07 not they are real but they are very very expensive

[7mmRemingtonMag]

@KevinHomicide

You are 100% right on that. In Australia this is $8,000 without scope.

I think its $4,000 in the states.

The double the price :(

[yerr9495]

that is amazing, listening to him count out the decibels off the sound meter 140-145 dbs
