Reduced Noise - Less Concussive
Subsonic rounds travel at speeds below the sound barrier, reducing the noise produced when fired. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining stealth and minimizing noise pollution, making them ideal
for certain tactical situations or in environments where noise control
is essential.
Less Recoil - More Accurate
Lower velocities mean reduced recoil. This can improve accuracy by
allowing for quicker follow-up shots and better control over the
firearm.
Better Suppression
Subsonic rounds can work well with suppressors (silencers), as the lower velocity reduces the sonic crack associated with supersonic bullets,
making the firearm even quieter.
