First, let me start by saying that I understand there are different types of suppressors:
- muzzle brakes -- to reduce muzzle rise
- noise suppressors
- flash suppressors
And, obviously, many products these days have overlapping functionalities of the above 3.
Primarily, I am interested to know more about Noise Suppressors affecting the shooting accuracy of a long sniping gun in a long distanced hunting application.
Some technical experts believe that by redirecting the exhaust gases to the side, the bullet is stabilized just before it exits the muzzle; thus providing a good start for a more predictable trajectory. How true is this? Do you know of counter-arguments against this belief?
Thanks,
Art
