AAC Cyclone K question

Post by metallicgraph »

ok guys so maybe this is a stupid question. But can you shoot 9mm through a AAC Cyclone K suppressor. I cant seem to find any concrete yes or no.

I am sure you could pull the trigger multiple times. Now, whether bad things happen is another story.

OP, the AAC Cyclone is made for a .308. Bore is probably .350" to .380". Find out what that 9mm you want to put through it is in diameter.

Do NOT shoot 9mm through a Cyclone.

If it's like the SD and SDN, right smack dab in the middle of that range at .365".

OP, .010" diametral clearance isn't enough, period. Even if you have perfect axial alignment with the bore, that little clearance is very likely to disrupt bullet stability and still cause a strike.
