[QUOTE="hereinaz, post: 3041721, member: 110606"] IMO there is improvement across the board for many because the subconscious brain function operates outside of our control and much out of our awareness. Whether it is a brake or suppressor, the recoil reduction doesn’t affect the recoil impulse before the bullet leaves the barrel, so any change happens from something relating to harmonics or the reduction in concussion/noise. When you take away the effects of muzzle blast/concussion from a brake and the noise to the ear (even muffed and plugged) your brain registers the event much differently. Reflexes and startle responses to noise and concussion might be dampened by experience and effort, but never eliminated. I personally think the flinch of recoil on big rifles has more to do with the greater noise/concussion than the physical force. I can shoot suppressed big boomers better suppressed than braked. The physical force does less when suppressed and I can mentally focus and just know it will move. Some people have bigger or smaller responses, so the amount of improvement can depend on the shooter. I get headaches and don’t like the concussion, so I think my subconscious flinches on brakes after shooting them a couple times. After shooting only suppressed, when I go back to a braked rifle, I don’t feel like I have the flinch at first, but if I shoot it enough my subconscious nervous system starts to build up “defenses” and anticipation. Shooting is a mentally intensive task and we know the smallest movements on the trigger and support can move the rifle. Flinch before and in the nanosecond after the shot before the bullet leaves the muzzle moves the POI. Just shooting suppressed changes the event for the brain. As for a physical effect on the gun, not shooter dependent, gun by gun the harmonics can change depending on the weight and barrel stiffness, but in my experience suppressors haven't changed any one rifle drastically. I think that is much less common. [/QUOTE]
