I tested an MP5/40 with a Raptor-40 today.

The results are in the table.

Did you test it in full auto modes? How did it hold up to heat?

Also how much did the suppressor change the bullets point of impact when installed?

I did some mag dumps. It shed heat fast as I spit on it and the spit did not sizzle off.

I did not test point of impact. I don't really care about such tests. Once I own a can I never go without it.

I assume the MP5 was sited in before you installed the can, were you hitting what you were aiming at with the can installed.

I for one like to shoot with and without cans so it concerns me if the suppressor changes the point of impact significantly when installed.

I am not sure how well sighted in it was before putting on the can, but with the can on I was hitting things at 100 yards.

So, according to the numbers, the Raptor 40 was quieter than all the other 9mm MP5 cans. Is this true? I noticed the unsuppressed .40 was quieter than the unsuppressed 9mm out of the MP5's.

How did the Raptor 40 sound to your ears compared to, say, the Raptor 9mm?

I did not shoot the .40 on the same day. It sounded about how I remembered the 9mm. It seemed very satisfying.

You are comparing MILSTD to unweighted.
