        What use is a suppressor on a supersonic rifle? Does it just look COOL?

            I'm pretty sure if they hear the shot first something went wrong.

                it still suppresses the muzzle report and lessens strain on hearing which is nice, from a tactical standpoint even though a super sonic bullet makes a large amount of noise on its own nearly as much a gunshot the advantage in suppressing the muzzle blast beyond protecting the shooters hearing is muzzle blast is very directional as all the noise comes from on location at one time, the noise generated by the super sonic bullet however is perpetual during the flight and is moving constantly making pinpointing its origin very difficult
                Punctuation is for the weak....

                    for hunting they are of limited use other than protecting your hearing but they also reduce recoil and makes shooting more enjoyable for some calibers the grendel is a fairly mild caliber

                      It mitigates the sound of the muzzle report and this has benefits for the shooter, and anyone else in the vicinity; including pets and livestock. It might confound the animals you shoot as to your location and discourage them from fleeing or even moving off (note DNS's latest video with the deer staring at him but not panicking).

                      It acts like a muzzle brake and smooths the recoil impulse. In some guns like a .338LM it is most noticeable.

                      It has military applications like confounding the enemy as to the location of the shooter, permitting verbal communication and being able to discern who's who and where by the different sounds your people make and the enemy.

                      ...and it looks cool.

                        Best thing about suppressors for me is the fact I do t need to wear ear protection. I still wear ear protection of I'm doing a prolonged shooting session, especially with my .300 RUM. And yes it acts like a really good muzzle brake. AAAAANNNNDDDD, looks COOL!!!!

                          I hate to give the government $200 for the priviledge of taking away my rights.
