    I posted before you entered the thread.

    BTW: Is your PSD in 6.8 or 5.56mm?
    Bullshit. You said anyone that owned a 7.5 inch AR was an idiot. Now, technically mine is 8 inches, but I'm sure that extra half inch didn't propel me into genius status in your eyes. It doesn't matter if or when I entered the conversation. What you said was ****ed up. If you disagree about choices someone makes then state your reasons why. If name calling is the best you can do, well, then, we can do that too.

    I'm not prepared to start a fight with you, and I wasn't intentionally being hostile to you.

    I'm sorry if I offended you. We got off on the wrong foot.

    Plus, if you really think I'm about to start an argument with somebody who undoubtedly has more experience than me...

    No. I'm not going to do that.

    I apologize, I may have been in the wrong.

    So I'll rephrase:

    I belive that the 7.5'' AR system is completely useless.

    It does nothing that a 10.3'' couldn't do.

    It voids and ruins suppressors.

    And has little/no sound reduction.

    They're extremely loud, especially indoors.

    It's just not practical in 5.56mm.
    We miss you, AC.
    We miss you, ToddG.

    zushwa, got any pics of your rifle? And maybe some pics of it in the pack you have?

    Im interested in seeing what the rifle looks like and how easy it would actually be to conceal.

    I see both sides...might not be as great as a 10.3 for some reasons but I do want a 7.5 at some point. As Zushwa said...because I ****ing can

    Typically speaking, these guns in 5.56 (DI) are somewhat problematic to get to run. So I think many people don't recommend them because of this fact alone.

    Now if you get it in say 9mm, that is a different animal and should run with no issues.

    In the event that you go with a 5.56 and DO plan on using it to shoot people, there are some options that make this package viable. Most of your .223/5.56 needs to be going a certain speed in order to fragment. Out of a 7.5, I don't think they ever get up to speed in order to offer this capability. This doesn't mean that you cannot kill someone dead, but you are basically shooting a .22 magnum.

    With that said, if you go with a barrier blind round (SPEER 24448/24455, Federal T1/T3, Hornady 8125N, etc) these do not need speed to do their job. So no matter the length of the barrel or the distance of the target (within reason) you will be able put someone down.

    Good luck.

    Question for the experts. Does a round GAIN velocity with a suppressor?? So if I'm running just an 8 inch barrel and the round isn't hitting the magic number to fragment, "could" a suppressor give it enough velocity to do so?? I realize the suppressor negates some of the advantages of the extremely short guns, but I'm curious if anyone has seen significant increases in velocity.

    I digress.

    Here is the gun/bag combo I keep with me, although the gear inside changes depending on location and season.





    Here is the PSD in use during a recent TV show we worked on with Kyle Defoor. You can see how maneuverable the gun is around vehicles.

    The can does increase FPS, but not enough IMHO to reliably get a bullet to fragment.


    Cool pics BTW.

    I've only chronoed (is that a word?) an m110 with and without. The can only gave us 50 fps which I don't think sounds like a lot.

    I agree with grant. That's out of the longest can I've seen but not sure how much of it offhand is actual can. The first 5" or so slips over the barrel and is a blast baffle and chamber.

    The longer the can is the more time it has to push the round faster I think. Grant can say for sure probably but its still not enough only minute.

    These are a good place to start.

    Anyway OP as Grant said the 7.5 5.56 can be an iffy gun and can take some extra tlc to make sure it runs well. The same has been said for the 10.3/10.5 though. As long as it is setup by a quality mfg it should be ok. If you look many of the same arguments are made on the 10 inch guns and running suppressors as well. The 7.5 is just going to be a little harder.

    My advise would be to buy quality and look around for a suppressor that will honor the warranty as people have listed a few that do. Most don't support their 5.56 suppressors running on guns shorter then 10.3/10.5.

    I can't really speak to them as I don't have much first hand experience. I've only shot the lwrc and that was in 6.8. As others have said you have some rounds that should be better for the short barrel but if it is just a toy who really cares?
