[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5783961, member: 20060"] Silencers on gassed weapons are not as effective because the gas needed to operate the weapon in semi-auto doesn't go through silencer and the cycling of the weapon will still be heard. If you operate the weapon as single shot it's much quieter, though bolt action seems to be the way to go. IMO subs with a suppressor can be effective for hunting, you just won't realize the same range as unsuppressed. My Rem 700 300blk works fine with 220 gr subs and a suppressor, but hogs will still scatter when you hit the first one due to the sound of the bullet hitting it's target and the squeal of said target. You may get a second shot off, but likely it will be on a running target. On deer they should work well also, but don't be surprised if penetration and expansion become discussion points, more so than with regular bullets some are already complaining about. [/QUOTE]
