Not So Obvious Tactical Advantages Of Suppressors

Sound suppression is obviously the reason for suppressors, but there many other tactical advantages to placing a suppressor on your rifle. In this video Rob discusses the role that suppressors play in reducing the muzzle and sound signature of shots for hunting and tactical engagements. There's also the ability to hear the impact of the round which provides clues as to whether the bullet made contact with a solid or hollow object. In the context of room clearing, suppressors aid with command & control by potentially differentiating your team's shots from those of an enemy.
