“Okay, here’s the short version. Most nine millimeter and smaller caliber bullets travel beyond the speed of sound. They break the sound barrier when they leave the weapon; that’s why a gunshot is so loud. Suppressors muffle the noise of the exploding gasses within the weapon, but they have no effect on what happens after the bullet leaves the muzzle, on the sonic bang. So you might as well not use them. The speed of sound at sea level is 1,125 feet per second; most smaller ammo travels at speeds faster than that. Subsonic rounds are designed to travel at speeds of less than 1,000 feet per second: no sonic bang. Bob doesn’t need them because he’s using 230 grain .45s that travel at 850 feet per second. Subsonic.”
