Reason you don't see many big bore guns not using suppressors?

[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1927099, member: 96226"] Some people do run suppresors instead of brakes. A big bore suppressor is expensive and heavy and might not be the best recoil reducer. The Sus-Tac on this Steyr HS-50 turned that gun into ALMOST a puddytat (take that profanity filter) and made it the first .50BMG that wasn't distinctly unpleasant for me to drive. I hate shooting 50's usually and most of the suppressed .50's I've been behind weren't really much more pleasant than a braked .50. That Steyr is heavy as balls and the suppressor was surprisingly effective at mitigating both blast and recoil and I enjoyed shooting it. There's me on the top and the rifle's owner below. This suppressor is available in South Africa but I'm pretty certain it's not available here in the States. I noticed that in South Africa since suppressors are almost ubiquitous that they seem to have a lot of affordable and excellent suppressors like the Recoil Reaper (those are amazing, compact and effective with blast and recoil) and the Sus-Tac line which has been stellar on everything I've seen them on.
