After proper integration of suppressor to the rifle barrel, its principle of work is the holes “bleed” the velocity from supersonic to subsonic to attenuate the sonic crack from a super-sonic slug.
The silencer is specifically designed to decrease the velocity and range of the propellant gasses, shooting up from the muzzle.
Why do we need a 7.62 suppressor?
Suppressors diminish the firing sound by approximately 25 dB. It is proven the silencers enhance slightly the bullet speed, as they lengthen the barrel. At the same time, it is necessary to re-zero the rifle because the extra weight can alter where the round is hitting. Using suppressors influence better the accuracy results thanks to the firing sound reduction and diminish recoil. Usually, sound suppression can vary less than 3 decibels depending on barrel, ammunition, and surrounding factors.

Tactical accessories are another passion of mine that I could write about endlessly - my house and garage are full of tactical gadgets, luckily my family shares my interests.
I'm infatuated with traveling that's why work at one place with a daily routine and standard schedule is not for me. I prefer copywriting and English tutoring as a freelancer. I live in a male family among constant talks about cars, guns, hunting, fishing, and, of course, dinosaurs 😊.
My husband is an obsessed hunter, and my two sons are fans of «Demolition Ranch» of YouTube blogger Matt Carriker. They are my best consultants about weapon and all-around ammunition topics. All together we share a love for adventures. Every camping or mounting hiking trip is a "small survival", giving irreplaceable experiences. Nothing can be better than the satisfaction of observing wild nature.
