The Aguilla SSS, Sub Sonic Sniper, is very quiet ammunition in a long gun. The only ammunition that is quieter in non-suppressed firearms is the Aguilla Colibri and Super Colibri It is almost as quiet as the Remington CB Caps but with better performance. Quiet was designed to reduce the sound signature of non-suppressed firearms and it does that very well. Quiet is usually priced similarly to most Sub-Sonic offerings. It is also much easier to find most of the Sub-Sonic offerings for an imperceptible reduction in sound signature. You are giving 20%-25% in velocity with a bigger loss in energy over Sub-Sonic ammunition. SIG did it this was to be legal in all states without needing to manufacture two different magazines.īack to ammunition, I would never use CCI Quiet in a suppressed firearm. BTW, the 10 round magazines that come with the SIG 22LR conversions can be increased to 14 rounds by shortening the pin in the magazine. This is more compact than my 1st one, but I built it with no expectations of going on a full auto firearm. In this picture it has my 4th 22LR suppressor design on it. This is the P220 that I got in 1991, When SIG announced 22LR conversions in 2008 and they were made available with standard or threaded barrel, you did not need to ask me twice. So I have one Sub-Sonic ammo choice that runs well in all of me suppressed 22s I am currently 1/3 of the way thorough my second case of 5,000 As a bonus the 45 grain plated bullets hit harder than most Sub-Sonic and keep your can and barrel cleaner With this can and the American Eagle Sub-Sonic it is almost motion picture quiet, not counting the action of course. Finally the folks at Federal/American Eagle sent me some of their 45 grain Sub-Sonic and BAM that did the trick. Since it was new, I gave it about a 1,000 rounds of assorted High Velocity and faster ammunition to smooth things out, but that did not help. The PPk/s was probably the most finicky ammunition wise, it is pictured below with that 1st Full-Auto rated can. I was going to have one of my German Walther 22s ghost threaded about the time that Walther introduced the new PPk/s 22LR already threaded for just a couple of dollars more than what it would have cost me to ghost thread the German gun, so I bought one in nickel since my first can was bare aluminium. More than half of the autos worked just fine with just about any 22LR ammo that I threw at them including the sub-sonic stuff. I have a few additional MK-II configurations along with a Walther PPk/s and a SIG P322 and the 22LR kit for the SIG P220, Several 10-22 originals and some built from receivers that I milled myself along with one of the Ruger Precision bolt guns and to satisfy my inner Maxwell Smart, a revolver set up for a can.Īny ammunition may be used in the bolt guns, single shots, pumps, levers and revolver. That can was a bit oversized because my original intent was to use it with the select fire G3 sub-caliber kit in my G3k. The first was a Ruger MK-II target that I ghost threaded. They work with three cans that I designed and built myself the first one going back more than 30 years now. A pellet pistol in my own home alone is good.Right now I have perhaps 10 22LR firearms set up for suppressors. Though I do not condone drinking and firearms. Raise the level of difficulty by adding one, two or three beers to the shoot. So peaceful and serene, to be with ones own thoughts and to do a form of miniature hunting. Once you localize the sound, turn the flashlight on at them and they usually freeze. If you enter a garage or any space and turn on the lights, they see you and run.īut sit quietly in the dark. The best method I found for indoor or even close outdoor rodent hunting is to, for instance, sit in the garage with the lights off. I usualls see the pellet on the other side of the skin, or if it exits, the damage is light to whatever's behind. Flats deposit all their 6 foot pounds right in them. It's also more maneuverable for attic work. But indoors, still too much as it would exit the rodent and hit the 2x4 or wall behind. In the airgun forums it is agreed tht 4-12 FPE is all you need on mice and rats. 22 firearm is waaaaayyyy to much FPE for rodents.
