[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1967788, member: 2736"] A suppressor keeps the gasses contained for a longer period of time before discharging them, allowing it to cool down more. this cool down lowers the pressure and reduces the amount of gas discharge. If this discharge is below the speed of sound, it becomes sub sonic and noise is reduced even more. This is the reason suppressors on very small cartridges can be so quite. Also the pressure wave normal with brakes is diminished by allowing more cooling time in the suppressor. However, this may cause problems with some gas guns because the port pressure will increase due to the pressure curve delay. The gas port will effectively be moved and the gas system will see more pressure. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
