[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1748356, member: 106647"] Pistons aren't supposed to make cases come out clean, they are supposed to keep the receiver cleaner than it would be in a DI gun. There's no way to make a gas operated semi-auto spit out clean cases like a bolt gun when using a suppressor without a delayed operation because the suppressor maintains residual gas pressure in the bore for a longer time. There are little things you can do to make them better etc but the way a suppressor works is not by reducing the total quantity of pressure energy (what we hear as sound) but by increasing the duration(time) and therefore decreasing the peak intensity(dB). There are other factors at play in suppressor design but for the most part they all work on the same principle. As long as your gun uses gas to cycle, it will still have gas pressure in the chamber when the case is extracted and therefore the case will come out dirty. I always like hearing brass stacking in the catcher being as loud as the shot :) [/QUOTE]
