Yep.
For those of you not in the know it's a .223 silencer that is openable and cleanable unlike a lot of the other brands out there.
T
You need to take it over to "Idaho" and tell us how it shoots
are you going for the silenced subsonic app or are you going for the supressed deer only hear a pop and dont freek?

SSShhhhh guns are very cool.
.300 Whisper with Trident 9 on it,
OA 9mm with integral SRT upper and G34 with Trident 9
77/22 with Outback 2 and Bushmaster Varminter (lots of add ons) with Thundertrap
These 2 get shot the most.
I have several other hosts too. All work very well.
I have another OB2 coming, Form 4 is out now, and an integral can for a GSG-5, Form 3 is out now.

There are only 4 cans there. 3 are detachable and 1 integral. Then I have one more detachable and 1 more integral coming for a total of 6. So with the new ones just under $4000 in cans and $1200 in taxes.
As I assume you know guns make 2 noises when fired. There is the high pressure in the barrel escaping into the lower pressure air, then the crack of the bullet breaking the speed of sound ~1100fps. Silencers reduce the amount of noise made from the high pressure to low pressure to change but can not and does not effect the bullet speed.
So effectiveness is relative to what you expect. If you expect hollywood quite then you will not be happy with a suppressor on any gun other then a .22 bolt gun with SS ammo. If you have realistic expectations of what a silencer does and what you want to use it for you will be happy.
You will get lots of opinions on hearing safe and what guns sound like. I know when shooting under cover makes a big difference in noise then shooting in the open (99% of what I do).
Basically the silencer takes out the boom of the pressure change. The bigger the muzzle blast the more noticeable difference a silencer makes. Even with standard ammo while using the silencer there is a nice tone that is not unpleasant to the ear. I say it would be similar to someone shooting a .22lr at 50-100 yards away.
The argument you will hear all the time is that even if the noise is not painful or unpleasant that does not make it hearing safe. I would say it is probably true but I know I listen to my stereo louder and longer then the noise of my suppressed guns.

I understand they can reduce the sound from the actual gasses, but not the sonic crack. I guess I should have been more specific in my question. The AR30 is loud as hell. When I fire mine, everyone stops and looks. Now I'm sure part of that is due to the muzzle break, but how does it compare when fired with a silencer is what I was trying to ask.
Correct. A good part of my answer had to do with supersonic crack of any of the hosts.
Yes a large portion of the noise your AR-30 makes is the muzzle break, without it the noise would not be any louder then any other .300 WM. The difference is you can rest your .300 WM only laying in the palm of your hand and pull the trigger and the gun stays there.
It is very impressive with the silencer. Pleasant to shoot without ear plugs, quieter then my .308 with standard ammo and the same silencer. Oh yeah and the recoil is reduced a little more then the break.
