VIDEO: Subsonic Suppressed 223 / 5.56

[Ring]

Underpowered, I'd say.

someone on ar15.com did a test, 223fmj subs will go threw a 2" phone book then. Lvl3 vest then stop in a second 4" book

it also went threw 2 or 3 2x4's

don't see. 22lr doing that

We have some REAL .Mil 556 subsonic rounds (given to us by a member on this forum) that were made for a certain Tier 1 group. These actually cycle the gun.

All .223 subsonic rounds are basically worthless (less these ones we got for a .Mil contract). Don't waste your money on them.

Would you want to get hit by it?

Underpowered as not enough power to cycle. Assumed that point was evident.

[Ring]

If it had the power to cycle, then it wouldnt be that quiet

[Safetyhit]

it "felt" like they were sticking in the chamber

If it had the power to cycle, then it wouldnt be that quiet

Which is it?

Edit: I should clarify that I have fired sub-sonics that did cycle, so maybe my perception is favorably skewed. But it seems as though you give the impression of conflicting viewpoints, unless I am not giving enough credence to the quotes around "felt".

Why do you think the REAL mil 5.56 loads cycle compared to other subs?? Think you could reload a similar round or do you have to mess w/ springs?? Guessing they use the heaviest bullet available since tragectory will be similar with all.

I really only like the subs in 22lr but think I could see an application for the AR and pigs if they indeed would cycle. This would be for a 12.5" sbr / suppressed.

Good question. Most sub sonic loads use a 70-80gr bullet and "filler" to replace gun powder. These used a bullet in the 150gr arena (if I remember corrrectly).

I had my gun zero'd for 50yds and had little poi shift from that zero.

no... useing a AR as a bolt gun, the rounds felt sticky, that would be y i used 2 hands to reload.

a load that has the power to cycle a gun will be louder then 1 that dose not.

Ring,
What barrel was used in your video? 5.56 NATO chamber? Will your suppressor when mounted cycle standard M193 rounds?
