Fired out of a suppressed AR they were scary quiet. They didn't even think about cycling the bolt, but that just made them even quieter.
What twist does that rifle have? I am surprised a long 70gr bullet stabilized at 1,000 FPS.

I've a 1/9" barrel that stabilizes 69gr just fine at 1000 ft/sec.
It's a Contender barrel in .22 Squirrel.

Our subsonic 115's in 300 BLK are just as impressive. These are ment for bolt guns but they are still fun to shoot out of an AR.http://youtu.be/zMlOxO-YCkE

Yeah, you're not kidding. Nice work, and thanks for shooting one NOT ON STEEL first. I get frustrated when videos displaying a suppressor shoot on steel every shot, b/c you cannot appreciate how quite the shot actually is hahaha

The look on the shooters face says it all! Nicely done... and thanks for sharing.
In a firefight, incoming fire always has the right of way.
