 Today's principal question that I received in the Marines of 2nd CB was regarding suppressors on small arms weapons. Some of the Marines believe that putting the suppressor on the weapon lessens their capability in terms of range and lethality, and today I want to dispell that myth. So I'm going to start off by firing unsuppressed. I'm going to fire through this chronograph right here, and it's going to give me the velocity of each shot. Then I'm going to take the same ammunition and the same barrel length and put a conventional blast baffle suppressor onto the end of the barrel and fire five more shots through the suppressor. Okay, now you're going to fire the same weapon, same barrel length, same ammunition with a suppressor. So as you can see, you don't suffer a effective range or lethality or accuracy penalty by having a suppressor on the weapon. What we covered today was the principal question of putting a suppressor on your weapon and what that does to your capability. It increases your capability, and if nothing else, I want you to walk away with that. It doesn't slow your bullets down. You literally have to use subsonic ammunition to lose that range and lethality capability, and we're not doing that to you. Suppressor is a good thing. It increases your lethality. It makes you harder to kill, and you're going to get one here pretty soon. So it's been my pleasure. Send your questions. Put them down here in the comments below, and we will try to do our best to answer your questions. Thanks Marines and sailors. Have a good one. Semper Fi.
