Do Suppressors Affect Accuracy? - Suppressor Accuracy Test

Do Suppressors Affect Accuracy? It's one of the most common questions we're asked, so we put it to the test!
To figure it out, we conducted two suppressor accuracy test, one to determine mechanical accuracy and another to test shootability.
Watch until the end of the video to figure out how accurate suppressors are.

    *you need to get the guys over at hornady to get some 100 rd groups shot. I think it reduces flinching and anticipation associated with muzzle blast. I'd put money the gun isn't technically more accurate. Defintely POI shift

    @paleo704 it certainly won't fix a problem with a rifle or load, but it the rifle is working perfectly with a load that is optimized for it I can assure you a properly engineered and mounted silencer will almost always improve accuracy.

    Accuracy, typically yes theyll be some POI shift but it should be very repeatable. Precision, depends but theres usually no loss outside of a mechanical problem (loose can/mount, alignment between bore and silencer) Silencers tend me make shooting more pleasant so it helps the shooter shoot better, but sometimes silencers do just straight up tighten groups. The MK12 with the M5 is a known example of this, but its a heavy barrel with a reflex suppressor using a taper lock up so the reason is pretty clear.

    SOOOOO much potential with this video but 1 gun and 1 suppressor does not prove things either way. Put on a proper muzzle brake on that thing and try again, otherwise, I get you are SilencerShop, (and in the business of selling cans), this video is more shilly than scientific. =) Put a good muzzle brake on those guns and those groups will probably do the same. Almost every actual suppressor designer or engineer I spoke with, leans towards the, suppressor will not make a gun more accurate, but will help you potentially extract more out of it potential.

    From my own personal experience, shooting suppressed, accuracy increases not so much because it is suppressed. Simply because there is less recoil just like a muzzle break. What I will say, Muzzle breaks suck, especially if someone is shooting one next to you. Also if you value your own hearing the suppressor is the way to go.

    @@johnsimonelli9988 true, however, I think the biggest difference is going to be, is the type of suppressor as well. There is a reason why most competitors do not use a suppressor, it absolutely changes the recoil impulse of the gun. I have a video coming up on that.

    I’m not sure this video proves that the suppressor makes the rifles more accurate. Some rifles has a muzzle brake on ars have flash hiders or muzzle brakes. There is nothing on the end of the barrel so not sure it is fair to say suppressor can make that much of a difference compared to rifle with muzzle brakes

  • @SilencerShop

    If a suppressor reduces recoil equivalent to a brake, and hides flash better than a flash hider, and has the added benefit of sound reduction and concussion reduction, that seems like a huge positive.

    The shootability section can be quite a bit misleading. For example, if you have a muzzle break or a warcomp with upward vents, your shootability will pretty easily exceed the suppressor.

    that's just how it is with most pistol, I mean you're putting a tube that's longer and heavier than the barrel so of course it will affects more than compliment. Also the booster mechanism just makes everything questionable. only real world application for pistol is 22lr since you can actually get a suppressor shorter and lighter than the barrel it self with out the need of a booster.
