Ok, so I get the basics on how a supressor works and the whole baffle s thing, but having shot some and seen/heard some being shot at the range it always seems like the manufacturers of suppressors are so focused on light and small that they don't worry as much about getting the sound down as much as they could.
I'm sure most of the people here are familiar with what the "AR-15 Golf Ball Launcher" is and how it screws on and has to be used with a blank round. If something along this line was used at the range to slowly release the sound & blast instead of trying to use baffles to forcibly contain the sound would you get something close to the same effect? Would the same effect be gained through using one of the 5 or 6 inch extended flash hiders that are meant to be pinned to short barrels?
I'm not a suppressor guy and honestly the ones I've seen shot around me haven't really reduced the noise enough to make me think it's worth getting into, but the reduced recoil on big guns seems like it'd be worth while. I know it's a dumb question to ask, and maybe shooting a live round through the golf ball launcher wouldn't give the desired effect, but it seems like the idea of not trying to fight the sound and blast would be a better way to go rather than trying to forcibly contain it.
