[QUOTE="436, post: 591715, member: 16609"] If you think about it; supersonic loads generate more heat and pressure, than does subsonic ammo which has far less powder in the case; as the remaining un-burnt powder hits the first baffle, just after the expansion chamber of the suppressor tube, the erosion gets worse and worse [U]when[/U] using supersonic ammo; the higher velocity, the higher pressure, the more un-burnt power and heat, hence more erosion an faster wear. In heavy supersonic loads; the un-burnt powder acts like a sand blaster under heat. As for muzzle breaks’…, they “don’t capture” heat and pressure like a suppressor, they just redirect a small out of the muzzle blast in it. And by the way; muzzle break can and do wear, it’s just over a much long time span. Put muzzle break on a full auto weapon, in a battle cartridge and you’ll see {it’s measurable although in small about} much sooner. When a suppressor wears something {a part of it} out, they can have a louder “dB” decibels report, but usually it just gets loose and you start getting baffle strikes. 436 [/QUOTE]
