    Its expensive "rocket science" to figure out how to control and release the suppressor gasses. The gains will be slow unless a group like DARPA decides to drop some money on research.

    Please do not take this the wrong way, but this forum is more pointed towards firearms discussion and less on aircrafts. For this topic, the theories that a projectile may have the capability of producing a lower supersonic sound pressure level and the like is not out of the realm of future possibilities, we have been applying that to other media for some time now. What most here are referring to is the reduction of sound pressure from the "uncorking" pressure event.
