[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1491577, member: 103874"] 1. Suppressors reduce noise to the point that hearing protection is not a necessity (a huge bonus for hunting). The sonic boom of supersonic bullets will still hurt your ears, but to a much lesser extent than unsuppressed rifle fire, especially compared to shooting with a muzzle brake. 2. Suppressors eliminate muzzle blast, which in my opinion is an even bigger detriment to accurate shooting than recoil. By muzzle blast I mean the concussive shock wave that causes flinching and headaches. 3. Suppressors elongate the recoil impulse, making recoil more manageable and less jarring. 4. Chicks dig them.
