Think of it as the equivalent of a fouling shot for suppressed guns. For rifle shooters, you’ll probably never notice it over the sound of your rifle, and for pistol and rimfire shooters, it’s a simple fact of life that doesn’t impact hearing safety, accuracy, or ability to hunt.įirst-round pops are a well-established phenomenon that mostly impact low-velocity, low-pressure shooters. It cannot be helped, and cannot really be prevented. Embracing First-Round PopĪ first-round pop is a simple matter of physics in action. It’s impossible to gauge how long between shots will lead to another first-round pop, as the conditions are unique to the time of shooting. Obviously, if you go a long time between shots you’ll create the conditions for a first-round pop again too. The risk of damaging your suppressor, gun, and yourself is too high to justify getting rid of a first-round pop. We only mention it because it always comes up in discussions about first-round pop. That said, while that is one of those “neat old tricks” some shooters do, we do NOT recommend it in a rifle suppressor, and you really shouldn’t do it anyway. This will help reduce the volume of gas present and the vaporized water will help equalize pressure on the first shot. You might try adding a tiny bit (like less than a teaspoon) of water to the rear of a pistol or rimfire suppressor. Preventing FRPįor people who absolutely can not have that first round pop, there aren’t really many solutions. And if you are using a silencer for anything other than self-defense, sport shooting, or hunting, we assume you probably have a government agency to help you deal with that first-round pop.
If you are using a silencer on a self-defense gun, again, if you hear a first-round pop it won’t be loud enough to matter. It isn’t loud enough to hurt your hearing and most likely won’t startle or alert any game animals either.
That means a first-round pop really isn’t a big deal. They’ll just have the edge taken off them to render them hearing safe without protection. But the majority of suppressed gunshots will still be audible. Such shots are possible with some kinds of carefully crafted ammunition or low power rimfire ammo. Remember, a silencer doesn’t create a whisper-quiet, Hollywood myth gunshot. In other words, a first-round pop is only going to be noticeable when you are already pushing the envelope of sound suppression. 22 rounds you’ll be far more likely to hear that first-round pop than if you are touching off a. Let’s just say if you are shooting super quiet subsonic. It will be far more noticeable with slower velocity, small-caliber rounds like rimfire and pistol rounds than with rifle rounds.
ESCAPE FROM TARKOV MAPS SUPPRESSOR SERIES
This is by design, and something you really need from a suppressor.Ī series of baffles or tubes or other flow-constricting devices make up the interior of a suppressor and further ensure that gasses really have to work to get out. In order to truly understand first-round pop, we have to understand how suppressors work.īecause suppressors are sealed bodies designed to contain, cool and slow the passage of muzzle gas, they are exceptionally good at holding in exhaust and gas, and somewhat poor at venting it off without pressure. Subsequent rounds do not have that same pop because there isn’t enough time for adequate gas to gather inside to create the pop (unless you wait a long time between shots or take the suppressor apart, at which point, the conditions to create a first-round pop exist again). In other words, that first-round pop is the purging of the suppressor of low-pressure internal gas. That gas has to exit the suppressor too, and as it’s suddenly heated, pressurized and pushed out, it makes a popping noise. When you fire a round, hot, high-pressure muzzle gas blasts inside the suppressor and meets low-pressure gas at the temperature of the environment around you. So what that means is the inside of your suppressor is filled with gas even before you use it.
That same air around us also will quickly “fill” a suppressor sitting at rest. When you take them apart for cleaning, all empty spaces in them fill up with the same atmospheric gas we are breathing. So what is a first-round pop? Does it matter? Can it be prevented? Let’s look closer. While we expect babies to suddenly burp and make weird noises, we do not expect that from a suppressor. It isn’t especially loud, nor does it affect accuracy, but since suppressors are supposed to suppress the sound of a gunshot, having a suppressor make a funny noise is eyebrow-raising, to say the least. In the case of suppressors, many people have noticed a “first round pop” that accompanies firing the first round out of their suppressor during a shooting session. Like any precision mechanical device, suppressors or silencers (the term is interchangeable) have odd quirks unique only to their operation that soon get noticed by their users.
