This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Subsonic rounds though! I've seen videos of subsonic 9mm and .22LR where all you heard was the action cycling.

I don't have a suppressor, but I got some subsonic .22LR to play with. Couldn't tell any difference.

I could be full of it.... but I think that's because those rounds are intended to travel below the sonic boom threshold resulting in less noise when using a suppressor.
