Do silencers or suppressors degrade?
>>27928437
Yes, the soft baffles wear out and the lubrication fluid also needs to be replenished.
The baffle wear is not correctable; eventually, even with proper maintenance, the suppressor's performance will degrade.
>>27928437
Over a very long time line they slowly fill with debris, reducing their internal volume and effectiveness. This is very very many rounds fired, and not being cleaned.
Older designs used wipes and filler material that did degrade fairly rapidly and were intended to be replaced.
>>27928437
Yes but not like that. Full auto wears out the baffles quicker and .22 can gunk them up very bad if you dont clean them.

Why is this /v/ you autistic faggot? It's a legitimate fucking question about weapons.

>being this penis pinched over one fucking post
I guess its true what they say, about taking one to know one
>>27928437
Of course duh. Even more so shooting normal ammo instead of sub-sonic.
>>27928437
yes but nowhere near as fast as in mgs5

Do soft baffles exist?
>>27928437
Should suppressors be treated like magazines? As consumables?
>>27928437
Everything will, but if cleaned properly modern suppressors (all solid metal) will last a long time.
The actual degradation you might see in the field would be more apparent with extremely dirty ammo such as .22LR gunking it up and (as another poster has said) reducing the internal volume. If you're running it wet, it's worth noting that added suppression will wear out in about 30 shots (give or take 5), depending on the fluid used and volume of the suppressor.
Definitely would not occur at the rate you see in MGSV, that's more of a handicap to balance the weapons I presume.

>Should suppressors be treated like magazines? As consumables?
At the rate they go for (civilians in the US), I sure hope not.
>>27928486
You are retarded.
To the average end user? No. Will a magazine wear out at some point? A suppressor? Sure. For anyone, even anyone who shoots alot in the civilian world, excluding professional competition shooters--- that is a period of time measured in years for magazines, and even more years for suppressors
Its a little different comparing that to magazines in the military that have been kicking around since the 80's or before, seeing 100,000 cycles or more in that time.
>>27928485
MGSV's suppressors make the gun whisper quiet like suppressors from movies. It's a suppressor from the Gods.

Thanks for the info gentlemen.

They clacked pretty loudly in Ground Zeroes. Don't know why they decided to change the sound for Phantom Pain.
>>27928448
Nice fucking shit post you absolute piece of trash.
>>27928437
everything degrades
>>27928437
Older suppressors had disposable rubber wipes that deteriorated relatively quickly (perhaps not after 15 or 30 rounds as in MGSV). All-metal suppressors are relatively more recent.

What about the noble gases?
>>27928449
>they slowly fill with debris, reducing their internal volume and effectiveness
Eventually the spaces will fill up reducing effectiveness, but in the short term a bit of fouling on the baffles acts as a dampening medium, absorbing sounds and holding gels/moisture longer.
It's just a bitch to clean off the crud that builds up in a suppressor, especially Tula and 22lr carbon.

What did he mean by this?

The Jews did Gulf of Tonkin
Would it be possible to weld 2-3 suppressors together and then weld that to the end of the barrel you attach to the receiver so it is similar to rifles with integrated suppressors?

Jet fuel melts steel beams but Obama is keeping that a secret from us.

>Eventually the spaces will fill up reducing effectiveness
This is the case for rimfire suppressors. Not so much for centerfire calibers, especially rifles.
