Cool. The Army has been improving the suppressors for a their M240 7.62x51mm machine gun. It's doesn't make it quiet, obviously, just less annoyingly loud. A suppressor on that machinegun has to stand up to a LOT of stress. I wonder what wonder-improvements they included
Have your ever fired a rifle with a suppressor? With glass on it? Indoors. I know a lot of you haven't had the privelege. Suppressors are fun, but not plentiful. Heck I have to use someone elses. I don't own one yet.
It kinda sucks. Well, after the first one or two shots. The suppressor gets HOT and puts out a lotta heat waves, obscuring your target. If you want to shoot a few mags, stick to iron sights or your red dot. Even then you will notice the heat mirage on non-breezy ranges.
Just something to think about.
(And I am still thinking on the DeLisle reproduction.)

You may notice that a lot of rifle competitors are using suppressors, and many of them are using some sort of heat resistant wrap as a muffler cozy.
I like my suppressors; I have 3, though I use 1 of them most of the time.
I almost exclusively use them with 9mm and 22, though the one is rifle rated. I like that I can get pistol calibers down to really quiet (conversation levels or less).
Why would you use a rifle with glass indoors, unless you're in a GIANT building?
The DeLisle carbine replicas are interesting. If only the damn (insert lobbyist groups) had gotten their shit together and gotten the Hearing Protection Act through in '17-'18....
My Remington 700, glass scope, indoor 100 yard range, you can see the heat after about 20 shots. Now I have a heat shield for it that I got so I could test the can was screwed on tight enough, with a bare hand. Hot suppressors loosen. This stopped the rising heat.
