At ease, boys: the suppressor adds a pound or two, reduces the muzzle signature enough to allow battlefield commands to be heard while making it far easier to differentiate the enemy from friendlies. The suppressor also reduces the dust at the muzzle and muzzle flash which would give the enemy more cues to detect our firing positions. (Some of the primary methods of locating enemy firing positions are dust, muzzle flash, or movement)

The supersonic crack is off angle from the direction of fire and while it will let the enemy know that they are being fired upon, it will confuse them about where the fire is coming from.

The only problem I had firing the M-16-based weapons with suppressors was with the direct impingement gas system funneling noxious gases back in my face while firing. Hopefully, they've solved that issue.

Chairman, isn’t the mid-and dis- information on the internet amazing?

Seems all these posters read something and it’s taken as gospel.

Scary thing is they are on our side....

Chainmail, not chairman, silly auto correct.
