I'm real happy with my Griffin Alpha on a .308. Makes a standard 308 Winchester round sound like a .22 long rifle.

Where the suppressor really shines with with subsonic ammo. Holy Cow!!

Suppressor Comparison

Forgive the maniacal chuckling on the first three rounds. Those were the very first three rounds with the can mounted and what you hear is pure joy!

Suppressors cannot suppress the sonic crack that comes from hi-powered rifles. Handguns fire sub-sonic and thus can be suppressed. Rifles, however, tend to fire super-sonic rounds (.22 notwithstanding). This is where the Call of Duty and Hollywood types have the most difficult time accepting the limitations of a suppressor.
