A good deal of them *are* suppressed

Ah.

not in 5.56

Yes, but the point still stands

Ur rarted

5.56 out of a barrel less than 10.5" is a funny joke

@fred_ditto no it doesnt

Also
>not for frontline use

lmao

If you can have your SOF, drivers, and frontline dudes all using the same ammo, with the same mags, even if the cartridge isn't optimal for all the uses, the ease of supply greatly outweighs that.

5.56 barrel out of a 10.5" barrel is still good to 600yd according to delta

but what do they know

You know, all gun laws are infringements, but if we could get rid of the suppressor laws in exchange for requiring suppressors on short barrels in large calibers, I'd take that trade.

>ease of supply greatly outweighs that.
tell that to socom then

lmao

Bro stop saying cringey things

Unsupressed SBRs are fuckin annoying. Dude came to the indoor range the other day and the shockwave was incredible.

Ease of supply isn't even a consideration for the US military. Money is free nigga

>indoor range

yeah SOCOM totally would never adopt 300blk due to supply
oh wait

It's not a monetary thing. It's a matter of "we need more ammo a week ago".

haha yeah "we needed 300blk a week ago"

imagine not shooting on private land

@Crack cookah not my choice. Got to work with what I have. Integral suppressors would be allowed for those who still want a short barrel.

>It's a matter of "we need more ammo a week ago"
>ok ***buys 300blk for SOCOM***

bruh, just stop talking

They would still cost more and people wouldn't pay for them @Red Korvo

mcx uppers are expensive af theyre like 1700

Socom has dummy logistical support

They can get anything they need

@franknotcreep no more $200 tax stamp or waiting period, people buy more, economy of scale kicks in and you're good.

Economy of scale has hard limits

Sure. But I think current suppressor laws are why they're so pricey.

They still are made out of expensive materials and are fairly complex parts to make

The price reduction of the increase in scale would be minimal

The good ones would still be made out of like titanium or inconel or whatever

They'd be about 200 dollars cheaper. Because you wouldn't be buying a tax stamp.

Yeah lol

And not much more

Yeah

Also economy of scale is something that you really get when tens of millions of people are buying something
