lemme guess... the person who told you that little "fact".... they dont own a suppressor huh?
of course there's benefit to shooting supersonic suppresssed. its the difference between wearing ear plugs and not wearing anything.
will you see the dramatic sound difference you would with subs? of course not, the bullet is gonna break the sound barrier so you're gonna hear the sonic crack. a suppressor doesnt handle that part of the noise.
what it does it make the round going off quieter at the ear, and for others around you.
so yes. rock on and suppress that bad boy. you'll be happy you did.
dont let the naysayers tell you otherwise.
now that i have my can i use it anytime i can, subs or supers. sure the subs are more giggle factor, but it sure is nice to be able to shoot 223 with just foams in when you're plinking too.
