Summary

The title says it all – Does putting a suppressor on the end of your rifle make it inherently less accurate? More accurate? No different at all? Reuben and Adam, our in house “Can Bois” for all things NFA, discuss the many variables and details that go into not only how suppressors work in terms of making your shot quieter, but also how they influence the performance of your rifle. Notice we didn’t say “Hurt” the performance of your rifle – You’ll have to listen to figure out that part! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

0:00.0	Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and Good Food. What's up everybody?
0:15.0	We've got Reuben and Adam across the table from Mark and Jimmy here on the mic. and suppressors or lots of you know just NFA related things.
0:33.7	Today we want to talk about the topic of suppressors and accuracy because
0:41.9	there seems to be some schools of thought out there as though sticking a
0:49.3	suppressor on the end of your gun can either degrade your accuracy or improve your
0:58.0	accuracy or that there is no change at all actually. And so let's dive into that. I don't know where do you guys want to start? What should we...
1:08.9	I think we got to define a few things. We define accuracy and precision. Yes. And then we define what type of
1:18.0	effects that a gun that a suppressor might have on a gun. Yes. So accuracy being how tight of a group does my gun shoot, right?
1:27.7	They can have an effect on that.
1:29.6	They can also have an effect on precision, which is your ability to put the round where you want it right
1:33.9	sure so accuracy is taking the shooter out of the equation precision is gun and
1:40.1	shooter together as one that's a good way to explain it.
1:42.8	Okay.
1:43.1	Yeah, so I would say there's a couple of different ways
1:45.8	to look at it, right?
1:46.6	Because a suppressor can affect your precision
1:51.3	by having a point of impact shift, right?
1:53.7	And that can be a good thing or a bad thing.
1:56.2	As long as you know what that is, it's okay, right?
1:59.8	It's not a bad thing.
2:00.8	But like, we're taking a 14 ounce weight and hanging it on the end of the barrel. A lot of times we'll see just
2:07.4	us straight up you're hitting low now, right? So that can happen. And we'll dive into all these two, but like,
